Classic LucasArts General? Classic Lucasarts General.

And I'm not just talking about their adventure games. Stuff like Outlaws and Zombies Ate My Neighbors are welcome too.

I had X-Wing. Shit was balling as fuck, but my family was too poor, so I shared my families computer.

You know, Lucasarts had so few non-Star Wars titles, that it shouldn't be that hard to come up with this right off the top of your head.

>> No.620453

Outlaws was kick-ass. I particularly liked the art style, the voice acting, and the way the double-barreled shotgun kicked all sorts of ass. Oh and running around with Dynamite in a crowd was fun. So was punching chickens

The Dig was fucking awesome until the Spielberg ending. AWESOME. That game introduced me to Orson Scott Card's writing.

Ghoul Patrol was kind of ass compared to ZAMN, but Herc's Adventure was fucking amazing.

Sountrack was fucking kickass as well. Single-barrel shotgun was better if you had nimble fingers though.

Goddamn the soundtrack.

Oh and a friend of mine let me watch her play Monkey Island 3. I need to play that myself sometime right after i sort out my backlog. Such charming characters and clever trickery.

Sucks to know that Lucasarts is more or less dead with it going to both Disney and EA somehow.

Well Jedi Knight Dark Forces II was one of my favorites when I was younger, was one of only a few FPSRPG's at the time so I ate it up.

I have fond memories of Armed and Dangerous as well, it had great characters and a pretty ridiculous plot but I tried replaying it maybe a year ago and found it to be quite bad game design wise.

Oh shit, Dark Forces. Such a shame I only played Mysteries of the Sith via a demo disc and JK3 onwards.

Great game. Final level was hard as fuck.

Kinda sucked when your mech blew up and the only other one was behind a wall you can only blow up with mech weapons.

How would you recommend I install it actually? I'm torn between applying a fix I found to get it to run properly on newer machines or trying out ResidualVM.

Use ResidualVM and here's how you do it.

>Install Grim Fandango normally
-If you have to, use this installer http://quickandeasysoftware.net/software/grim-fandango-setup
>Install the official Grim Fandango patch
-http://www.grimfandango.net/?page=patch
>Instal ResidualVM and point it to your install directory

ResidualVM even goes so far as fixing bugs that were never fixed. It's the best way to play Grim Fandango.

Afterlife, the hardcore version of Sim City.
Gave up playing legit a long time ago, i don't suppose anyone has any tips/cheats/hacks to avoid bankruptcy and a visit by the surfers of the apocalypso?

Just be very careful in the beginning, never use banks.
The only thing you have to wait is to achieve a good price for each soul. Then, you will have all the money you want.
