"fav lucasart's classic" poll
"What's your favorite LucasArts classic from the list below? (beyond Monkey Island, Sam & Max) ???"
EVEN THE SLIGHTEST HINT AT A POSSIBLE MAYBE IN THE FUTURE SEQUEL TO GRIM FANDANGO AND I PRACTICALLY CREAM MY PANTS... grim fandango is an uber classic and may be difficult to do in episodes tho
p.s. posted here because lets face it all MI fans have played GFD and this is the most popular forum

GFD? Do you mean Grim Fandango? Because that'd be GF. I'm actual replaying that right now!
hurr durr list?
It is a poll on www.telltalegames.com
Why? The original is in 4 distinct chapters.
I echo other's sentiments that should new adventures in the Fandango world be made, Manny should not be the main character (or possibly not appear at all).
If Telltale can pull of Monkey Island (which they have done then unbelievably well) they can definatly pull off more Grim.
But it was my favourite game growing up, and continues to be, though I regret running through the whole thing with a walkthrough when I first played. It deserved better. :< I didn't even try. Silly 8 year old me.
Crap. Now I want to play again. Fffffff...
hmmmm no idea what my fav lucasarts game is... probibly DOTT
Both are fantastic games, and two of my favorites of all time.
Although having said that I voted for DotT because if this poll is related to which license Telltale will aquire from Lucasarts then DotT it the game I would most like to get a sequel. It is right up Telltales alley and I don't really feel that Grim Fandango needs a sequel. It feels complete as it is.
TTG resurrects dead adventure games. Really, I guess every title could be considered "dead" today, but I'm thinking of Sam & Max: Freelance Police, which more or less became Sam & Max: Save the World. Now they can revive Full Throttle: Payback and make it their own game.
I read this poll as one of two things: (1) LucasArts is interested in another game with Telltale or (2) Telltale is trying to stimulate interest in another game for both the fans and LucasArts. Either way, I'm excited to see what happens after season three of Sam & Max.
Grim Fandango (41%) and Day of the Tentacle (36%) have commanding leads in the poll right now. If I had to choose between these two, then I think DoTT is better suited to TTG's style.
But as LucasArts could as well give the Star Wars licence away than letting another studio create Indy-Games we will have to live with crappy beat'en ups like "staff of the kings" instead of a "proper" adventure
Surprised Fate of Atlantis wasn't on there, it was definitely a classic.
I also remember DOTT very fondly, and would thoroughly enjoy new adventures with that wacky bunch.
And because nobody else will, I'm gonna throw a little love to The Dig. Another beautiful adventure game, up there with Grim Fandango IMO, but in a very different way. Possibly Michael Land's best soundtrack, too.
I hate to be this guy but you really should have put this in General Chat. Also, there already is a thread on this, and it's worth pointing out it's in the right section...
Than it has to be Indiana Jones & Fate of Atlantis. It was a really nice game with three different ways to solve it which makes it in fact more replayable. And would have been a great movie, by the way.
Full Throttle did have a great setting, but was in fact too short.
They're the same series. DOTT is a sequel just like LeChuck's Revenge is a sequel to SOMI, whether anyone considers it that or not, that's how Lucasarts made it.
But the poll isn't asking "What's is your favorite series?", it's asking, "What's your favorite LucasArts classic from the list below?" and they are two different LucasArts classics.
:eek:
I think people are assuming its a "What LucasArts classic would you like TTG to make a a new episodic game from?"
And I thought you were cool
In all seriousness though you really should. If you have a Steam account then I highly recommend buying Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. It's only $5. The Dig is another classic you can get for $5, though there are a couple of very hard puzzles. Well, one really hard puzzle.
You could also get the LucasArts Adventure pack which includes The Dig, Loom, Fate of Atlantis, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (which I should warn you is almost completely unplayable without a walkthrough or a crapload of trial and error. This because the combat system is completely broken. You have to fight a whole castle of Nazi's, each as good as you at fighting, and if your health gets below a certain point you lose that health for every subsequent fight, of which there are MANY). The LucasArts Adventure pack is only $10 so if you are thinking of getting FoA and The Dig then you aren't really losing anything by upgrading to the pack.
Aww, now that's harsh.
Really, I consider myself lucky to even be posting here right now. The only reason I was ever introduced to Monkey Island is because a friend of mine in 3rd grade was playing Curse when his dad borrowed it from a friend, so he showed it to me. A couple years later, I spotted a copy of it at the store and bought it (extremely fortunate, since I had never finished it and forgotten about it and it was decently old by then), and then when I started seeing Escape advertised in the newspaper ads, I started digging deeper and found out that it was actually the third game in a series (and does it ever make more sense now that I've played the first two).
As for Grim Fandango, the friend who introduced me to that had to be introduced to Monkey Island by me, so that was totally unrelated. Which reminds me, I really need to get around to mailing her copy back to Kansas. Borrowing a game from a friend who lives a state away is weird.
By the way, my favorite LucasArts adventure games apart from the MI series are Loom and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Too bad they weren't in the poll. My favorite in the poll was The Dig.
