LucasArts:Brain Damage

Is it me, or is LucasArts just a lazy bunch? In a recent interview that Eurogamer did with the PR Manager of LucasArts, Chris Norris, and assistant producer, Jeffrey Gullett, LucasArts was asked if any new adventure games would be headed our way. Chris Norris said they’re looking into it. Then Eurogamer asked why they don’t just re-release old games to new platforms? Lots of people have done it. Take Myst for example. They’ve re-released Myst on about 100 different consoles.

Jeffrey Gullett’s response to putting old LucasArts games on the DS? The DS carts are far too small memory wise to put an adventure game on it. REALLY?! Because some of those really old LucasArts games like Monkey Island 1 and Maniac Mansion are TINY in comparison to the games that are on the DS today.

These LucasArts characters need to come over into the real world, dangit! We want classic adventures on the DS! Dangit!
