I sense a great disturbance in the force.

Let's face it, the Lucasarts that gave us brilliant and demented games like Maniac Mansion, The Curse of Monkey Island and Zombies ate my Neighbors has been gone for years now. Even so, I'm saddened by this news. We're talking about one of the earliest stars of the PC games industry being shuttered without good reason. People feared what a Disney buyout of Lucasfilm would entail. I was optimistic until now.

Two of my favorite games when I was a kid and just began to play video games (all I had was a PC at the time):

-Star Wars: Rouge Squadron
-Star Wars Episode I: Racer

If not for compatibility issues with my current comps I would still play through both

Lucasarts isn't making games anymore, but they are still alive in that they give out the licenses they have.

Which to be honest I prefer for the star wars games as:

Jedi Knight Jedi Outcast II
Jedi Knight Jedi Academy
KotOR 1
KotOR 2
Star Wars Battlefront I
Star Wars Battlefront II


are awesome as hell and in my opinion, the best Star Wars games out there.

Actually, seconded on both. P.O.D. racer is the only racing game I played that pre-dated episode 1 racer. Rogue squadron was a super classic of mine. This news saddens me immensely... As someone who loves the more cannon parts of the extended universe in star wars, I seriously am afraid as to what 7 8 and 9 will be... If they go completely off on their own angle, I will actually be more disappointed than i was with the prequels (something I didn't think was possible)

It's pretty crazy that two years ago, I had an interview with lucasarts. Got to the final round and they decided to go with the guy that lived closer. Could have been me laid off with them...

Messy Recipe:  deleted all the last couple years worth of bots & managed to preserve the two real people that have posted since then xD

so many DELETED spam posts now tho that I think I'll need to automate cleaning those moreso than i already have

Messy Recipe:  sry about the bots :( been busy & havent gotten round to doing the usual cleanup

need to prolly stick this behind cloudflare or something

Drunken Monkey:  doing well, been building a hobby ranch of my own, got married, no kids, only dogs, sheep and a horse

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime
Stealth:  Hello all! Head to the lounge and post a memory!
Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights
Messy Recipe:  oh gosh I really need to automate the spambot removal instead of making myself do it by hand don't I -.-
Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
