LucasArts might have something deliciously retro to show at Electronic Entertainment Expo this year. Something, perhaps, Grog flavored.
A source recently revealed to us that LucasArts is planning to resurrect a classic franchise at E3. The million dollar question -- what series is it -- is unknown to our source. However, we do know that titles like Grim Fandango and Monkey Island were uttered within earshot as examples of a LucasArts' golden oldie.
File this away as rumor for right now. We contacted LucasArts and asked if they were planning to revive any classics and ultimately received a "no comment."

I hope not. Hate to put a damper on this but I don't believe any of the people capable of doing justice to these are currently working at Lucasarts anymore
I was thinking about that. But still, HYPE.
Yes. It's a lovely thought. Loved to see the MI2 cover image on dtoid, but I don't believe they have the ability. I really wish they did.
Alternatively, another Maniac Mansion game would be swell.
There was a teaser trailer a few years back but the production stopped.

Grim Fandango, I'd expect to appear on PSP.
I have recently heard you may revive Monkey Island or Grim Fandango. The sad thing is, you guys currently suck, and the people who had anything to do with making these games currently have nothing to do with you. And, sadly no one BUT those people can make THOSE games. So, I please ask that you give the contracts for both games to Double Fine, Hothead Games or Telltale Games post haste, or give up the idea entirely.
Respectfully,
A Fan
monkey island has run its course and as much as i want to play more grim fandango, i don't know if the story could be expanded any furthur.
i guess if the ninth underworld ended up being another land of the dead to be traversed it could open up a new avenue for the story, but even that's stretching it.
I doubt it, you can bet that if they are going to do it, it's going to be Star Wars, and probably not one of the series that really deserve to be revived like the X-Wing series, no it'll probably be something like Dark Forces or Racer or the Super Star Wars series on Arcade
EL POLLO DIABLO IS LOOSE!!
the worst would be:
Uh, no. These are absolute classics that have to be played to be appreciated.
I doubt you can find them anywhere though, so you're off the hook.

however, someone mentioned the idea of a DS port, which has me proper giddy.
