I hope this is a sign Lucasarts are thinking about how they could exploit some of their old IPs. The Wii would seem to be the perfect machine to release their old adventure games on - either in the form of a disc-based collection, or as Virtual Console releases.

And now the computer and the operating system are to fast to run it it properly without some serious fiddling around, eh? Tch. I dunno. Kids today, etc.

I do like X Wing as it happens. Still pla it every nowand again, too. I could well be wrong about how Rebel Assualt plays, mind you. I haven't touched it since it was released...

Maybe I'll get a copy and be seduced ny tis retro charms.

/quote] But, Zygma_Experiment, how could you not like Rebel Assault?[/quote] Um, cos it wasn't that good? :? Seriously though, I played it on a 3DO and it just frustrated me that I was being forced to do what the game designers wanted me to, hitting button A or B as and when required, instead of let...

Ah, haven't played KOTOR2, so don't know about that. It's not available for the Mac and I don't have an Xbox. Besides which, I've only just got the first one. I never like Rebel Assualt though. Never been partial to on-rails shooters. Saying that, Star Wars Trilogy Arcade was bloody good fun. Partic...

I think things at Lucasarts are changing. They came in for a lot of flak in the late 90's and early 2000's for releasing a load of mediocre games, like Jedi Power Battles, Obi Wan and Super Bombad Racing, but the new boss seems to have taken the critisicm on board. Some of their newer stuff, usually...

It's well worth it. I managed to pick one up a copy of the Mac CD with speech a couple of days ago off Ebay UK for a tenner. It works brillianty in SCUMM VM under OS X, which is great, 'cause it doesn't work at all in Classic mode. No box though, so I'll have to dig out my old Amiga copy for that an...

Ah. Probably knackered then. Come to think of it, the Amiga version came on about a dozen floppies all told. Low density, y'see. Boy, was I glad I got a hard drive THAT day :wink: Anyway, your best bet is to try flea markets, car-boot sales or gold old eBay. See if you can get the CD-ROM version. It...

Are you sure the origiinal 5 floppies are for the same sort of machine you're using now? If you stick Amiga floppies in a PC, it'll try and tell you there's nothing on them.
