Nice caption. And yeah, I dont believe they cant get the old games on a DS. I really dont.
The person, that said there isn't enough space, doesn't have any clue about the DS.
It is really sad, but LucasArts doesn't give a shit about Adventure games anymore.
I think it's laughable how they say it's not big. It wasn't like past LA adventure games were THAT big to begin with. Are they expecting a big graphic haul or extras?
developers these days.
Wow, that's ridiculous. A few days ago, I would have shelled out 30 bucks in a second for a port of a LucasArts adventure game on the DS. Now, I'll just stick with my R4 card, they don't deserve my money anymore.
There's a SCUMM VM homebrew emulator for the DS.
"Oh you said DS? I though you meant D's as in D batteries. Now those are small."
yea might as well keep playing using my DS. I have a question though were these guys actually involved in the making of any of the adventure games? cause they might just not a give a shit at all about the games because they weren't involved in making them or they came into the company after they were already moving away from them, so they just say fuck adventure games
I am having a hard time buying the whole 256 is not enough thing. Even if the games were bigger than that I think that if they really wanted to they could find a way to make the file size smaller
Yes, those not-ROM files for SCUMM VM are just so huge that piracy must not even be a concern for LucasArts.
I'll just assume that anything I could actually download is in fact totally fan-created, because the real game would just be too big.
LucasArts needs to go have a talk with Square-Enix about what can and cannot fit onto that little piece of magic.
@ pyrofreak421:
That's probably the case. It was generally a very different company back then, and most of the old designers moved away a long time ago.
And just to make that clear: I have Monkey Island 1 & 2 installed on my PC right now. Together they're 13,5 MB.
Thats a fucking lie
The people originally behind the adventure games of yore have all left Lucasarts.
Ron Gilbert & Tim Schafer are both working on games currently and Dave Grossman is working at Telltale, they're probably the most well known names from the 'golden era'.
What that dickhead really means is "It don't have Star Wars in the title" and that's all they're good for these days.
I wish LucasArts wouold just sell all the rights on to other people like Sam and Max instead of letting them rot while they rape the Star Wars fanboys dry.
Dear Lucas Arts.
Did you notice that there is a port of Runaway: Dream of the Turtle and Secret Files: Tunguska available for the DS? And then you really want to tell us that it is not possible to port your old adventure games to the DS? You got to be kidding...
