GOG Announces 20+ LucasArts Classics To Release On The Digital Platform

I just bought sam & max... I never got to finish it..

Its a bit expensive for what it is... but meh...

I was extremely worried about LucasArts under Disney (even more than under George Lucas) but this is a pretty good start.

I'd like to see a re-release of The Curse of Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle, oh and obviously Kinect Star Wars. To be honest though, I would like to see them stick to re-releases or maybe re-makes (if they're good), I wouldn't want sequels or new adventures if they're going to be disappointing things aimed at iPad users - I'd rather just see more stuff from new companies like Daedalic or those Kickstarter projects from my article.

Well, nothing really new since they already run fine in ScummVM but I guess it's nice to have a stand alone installer

(@Dr. McCoy) Does the SCUMMVM project get some money from GOG?
Either by donation or a share from each sold copy?

I know GOG is not obligated to do so but wouldn't it be a fair move?
You even advertise GOG on the project page.

I would personally be interested in star wars galactic battlegrounds (with the extensions). I've spent so much time playing this game, it deserves a remake IMO. (IIRC, it's based on the AOE 2 engine, so I guess this would be feasible. I would play it even trough wine or eon.

I am not the person doing any of the company relations or whatever you call that. Probably for the better too, since I'm quite inept at that. So take that as a disclaimer; I might be misinformed here.

But from what I am aware, we do not directly get any money from sold games using ScummVM. We do have this usual partnership thing going on, where when you buy games through a click-through from a link found on our website, we get a certain percentage. From what I know, that's all.

Well, my position on that is pretty well known: yes, I do think that would be fair, and I'm saddened that many people don't see it that way.

But for me, far more important is that I'd like to see them advertise that they use ScummVM on the individual game pages, press releases, etc. And that ScummVM is FLOSS released under the terms of the GPLv3.

The other mixed feelings I have about Night Dive Studios aside, I really like that they say on the Steam pages for the games they rerelease, that they use ScummVM and that ScummVM is FLOSS. Ditto with the DotEmu store. GOG on the other hand never do that; and it disappoints me.

Agreed.

Do Indy 4 and S&M really use ScummVM? I was pretty sure that with previous ScummVM-compatible games, GOG prefered to stick with DOSBox but I might be wrong.

Yes, they do.

QuoteStar Wars: X-Wing series unfortunately won't be available for Linux either

Did anyone try these releases in Wine already?
