I was a huge fanatic of the adventure games way back when. I even ordered the Day of the Tentacle hat from that official Lucas Arts merchandise catalogue that came with all of their games. I also swiped the Sam & Max graphic novel from a Barnes and Noble when I was 11 and was found out and disowned by my parents on the van-ride back home.
Which LA title garners the most praise here at XLT?
1. Sam & Max 2. Full Throttle 3. Day of the Tentacle 4. The Dig 5. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis 6. Escape from Monkey Island 7. Grim Fandango
I'm going to have to go with number 4. The soundtrack and atmosphere are what did it for me. The maturity was a breath of fresh air too.

i liked day of the tentacle and sam & max the best. i think all of their games have jokes in them about some of the other games.

Monkey Island is the only one I've never played. I remember seeing the cover story on PC Gamer and thinking it looked fantastic.. Not sure why I was never able to pick it up.

I think both the new Full Thottle game and Tim Schafer's Psychonauts are coming to the Xbox.

1. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis 2. Day of the Tentical 3. Sam and Max
I reallly love the indiana jones game, it was so great, i must have passedit close to 15 times bak in the days of grade 5-6 Day of teh tentical was also great. Spent many hours on it. Sam and Max was a kick ass game but my comp never ran it well, so it screwed up and i was never able to get more then 30 minuites of gameplay in before it died on me :( As for the others, i havent played them :( but im sure they wer great. I agree, why DONT they make these games anymore, if you ask me, they are just as entertaining as any RPG/FPS made now adays...

Doing so would be deemed as a bad investment. Unfortunately, the Playstation generation just doesn't have the attention span suitable to play these sorts of games.. If it ain't 3D it's not moving off the shelf.

All I remember about Indiana Jones is talking to an archeologist in a cave and that it was really awesome.

sam and max do it!
i remember the mini-games at the fair. its a shame what lame humor the other adventures nowadays use...
i had grim fandango and the curse of monkey idland but this new generation doesnt come close to old ones...
2d is so much better, it keeps the feeling real, but digital speech is quite nice,
so sma and max would be kinda cool in a new adventure.
i hope they keep up with old brutality ;b
