Old-School LucasArts games.

I really wish that publishers would give a chance to games like these, even in this day and age. I'm not talking about the new Sam and Max either. The jump from 2-D to 3-D never fucking works. It loses that charm that the hand animated sprites had and I much prefer the old style of games. I would fucking kill for a new Day of the Tentacle with some HD sprites. Who's with me?!

Abso-fucking-lutely. You know I'm with you. The Monkey Island series FTW.

Ahh, nostalgia.

Re: Old-School LucasArts games.

It's definately part nostalgia, but also, those games are just so fucking kickass. Monkey Island was the shit until the 4th one when they tried it in 3-D. Can't put my finger on it, but the game just stopped being fun. I'm still fucking surprised they haven't ported this games to the DS, where they would fucking flourish using the stylus.

Re: Old-School LucasArts games.

So who here has a PSP and who here has been able to hack it and play some of these on it? I know it's possible as I've seen pics. But I'm on the fence of picking up a PSP today and goddammit I want to play some Day of the Tentacle!

Re: Old-School LucasArts games.

i have a psp but i never downloaded homebrew. mainly because there wasn't a fix out to unbrick psps. there is now, but there's no point since the gp2x is out and i would much rather run homebrew on that since it was designed to run homebrew.

Re: Old-School LucasArts games.

What is a Gp2x? Another handheld?

[nerdious dorkus]

Re: Old-School LucasArts games.

aye. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GP2X. mainly for homebrew and emulation. here's a list of old pc games that you could play on the gp2x: http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/GP2X/Compatibility.

also with the psp, you'd have to overclock it on some games to even get them to play decently which means crappy battery life.

Re: Old-School LucasArts games.

Any ideas how to get Tie Fighter, x-wing vs Tie Fighter, etc to run on a PC with Vista? I installed it, but it would not let me run it.

Re: Old-School LucasArts games.

Have you tried running it in compatability mode?

Re: Old-School LucasArts games.

Of course. What is it?

I know it's not for Vista, but maybe this would help.

Re: Old-School LucasArts games.

Thanks1 I'll give it a shot when I get home.

Also, I'd just like to say: Eff Vista.

I hate it.
