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

The DRM free publisher has entered into a partnership with ©Disney to add 20+ classic titles from the back catalogue of now defunct publisher LucasArts Entertainment Company. The first batch of six games were added today. Two of which are available for Linux.

Thanks to ScummVM both Sam & Max Hit the Road and Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis™ will be available for Linux. Hit the Road makes its debut for digital distribution with this release. The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition sadly remains a Windows exclusive though as it was built on a custom engine to allow for high definition graphics.

The two games from the Star Wars: X-Wing series unfortunately won't be available for Linux either as the versions now up for sale are not the original DOS versions but instead the later released special editions for Windows.

Here's the full list of today's classic DRM free releases:

Star Wars™: X-Wing Special Edition
Star Wars™: TIE Fighter Special Edition
Sam & Max Hit the Road
The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition
Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis™
Star Wars®: Knights of the Old Republic

For the future remaining games I'm personally hoping for more of the classic point-and-click adventures. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
