Remember when Lucasarts used to make real games and not just stupid faggot Star Wars games all the time? I spent an entire 24 or so hours downloading every old Lucasarts SCUMM games i could find yesterday. Okay actually i just found a single torrent of every single old Lucasarts SCUMM game ever made so it wasn’t like i was on some Indiana Jones-like interweb downloading adventure.
Here’s a list of games that i kept from the 2.3 gig package.
Day of the Tentacle (never played)
Full Throttle (never completed)
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (never completed)
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (never played)
Loom (never played)
The Secret of Monkey Island (never played)
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge (never played)
The Curse of Monkey Island (never played)
Sam & Max Hit The Road (never completed)
The Dig (never played)
There were a bunch more but they didn’t seem to be all that hot. Like Maniac Mansion, Zak waheteverthefuck, Simon the Sorcerer etc. So i deleted them.
I’ve only played Monkey Island 1 so far, out of all the games i haven’t played yet. I’m at the end of the first chapter i think. Got all my three trials done, bought a ship, gathered my crew but when i go to the dock to meet up with all of them, they aren’t there. Stupid. Must be a glitch or something. Or maybe i didn’t do something right. I checked a walkthrough and it says they all should be on the dock waiting for me. Fucking faggot game. I quit Monkey Island. Monkey Island makes me angry.
I think i’ll try out one of the newer games. Maybe replay Full Throttle again. I never did finish that game the first time around. I think i got stuck on that part of the game where you’re fighting with the end boss(?) on that truck and it’s heading towards a cliff or something. How great. Made it to end of the game(?), without looking at any walkthroughs (remember this was 1995 when the internets wasn’t born yet). And i get impossibly stuck on the last scene(?). This makes me angry thinking about it. I quit Full Throttle. Full Throttle makes me angry.
Maybe i’ll try out The Dig. Always wanted to play this game. Didn’t Spielberg help out with this game? And i think it has Robert Patrick voice acting in it. Which i used to think was super cool when i read about it in PC Gamer magazine. Of course this was back when Robert Patrick was actually hot shit. I bet i’ll get impossibly stuck playing The Dig too. I seem to recall several magazine reviews (magazine reviews because the internets wasn’t born yet in 1996) mentioning some impossibly hard puzzles. Fuck that. I quit The Dig already. The Dig makes me angry. Visit https://www.headphonage.com/ to find the best headphones for gamers.
In fact, i quit all these games without even playing them because i know i’ll get stuck somewhere along the line because that’s just the way Lucasarts games are with all their motherbitch puzzles. SCUMM games make me angry!!!
I’ll just stick to playing Psychonauts, the closest thing to a ‘real Lucasarts’ game that you can get in 2005. Tim Schafer worked on Psychonauts (he also worked on quite a number of those classic SCUMM games) and it’s got all that trademark Day of the Tentacle/Sam & Max type humor that makes all those old SCUMM games so enjoyable. If it weren’t for all the impossible puzzles of course. Lucasarts makes me angry.
