Telltale's consumer based "Hint's and Tips"
Since Telltale is cool, and LucAssfarts isnt, I feel there is a heck of a chance you could see a game made that you actually want! Personally, I'm tired of swinging the ol' digital lightsaber around. You know what I mean?
Come to think of it, what do YOU want to see from Telltale?
Personally, Ren and Stimpy are two excellent characters for an adventure. I think. No? Eh.

15 cool point for you and your family.
Btw, in my opinion one of the best games on earth are still the Broken Sword series. They never get old.
kotor is the LAST great game
This whole Star wars crap is making me sick and tired. I can't believe that you can still make money with it...who wants this???? [>:)]
B-)
I believe you mean from Bioware. I doubt LucasArts did much more that fund it.
1) Bone
2) So You Want to be a Wizard (fantasy novel by Diane Duane)
3) Uncle Scrooge (the comic book stories by Carl Barks and Don Rosa) -- These stories are mostly about "quests" in the form of treasure hunts, and about overcoming obstacles and challenges that are very much like traditional Adventure game puzzles. They'd be perfect.
4) Classic Star Trek -- it's been done before by Interplay, and done very well, but not since 1993. I want to see more!
Sounds easy, eh?!
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
&
The Adventure of Sienfeld and Superman (based on those Mastercard commercials)
But they have released a few games over the last few years which were good, some very good, technically they were all Star Wars, but in many ways, it is a very flexible license, with a rich universe to it and a lovingly chronicled history. (Before anyone says it, no, I'm not a Star Wars geek, I've only seen the original films once, not even in the right order, and I quite liked the new ones) KoToR has already been mentioned, Jedi Academy I enjoyed, Battlefront is a good, if flawed game that tries to capture the essence that made Battlefield so enjoyable. Galaxies was a good first attempt into an MMORPG, again flawed, but still enjoyable, and a lot better now than it was.
Anyway, a little off topic there, sorry about that.
A discworld game would be excellent, anyone remember Noir? Good game, even if I had to turn the gamma right up to see anything.
You mean the 4th discworld game, or possibly fifth if you include non-graphic games.
The 1st was a text adventure, the second was Discworld 1 (Rincewind and the dragon). the third was Discworld 2: Missing Presumed (Rincewind, death goes missing. stars in a holy-wood clicky). and the fourth and newest is Discworld Noir (New character, Lewton, Detective. Dark humour. Written by pratchett. Set in ankh-morpork. Another thing from the dungeon dimensions breaks into the city because of a mysterious brotherhood (Who are even more secret then usual).
So another discworld game would be the fifth (or fourth graphical).
I think the publishing company that were distrubuting Discworld Noir went bust before the game reached America though, so not everyone will have heard of it. Although it seems a budget publisher has released it, as I saw it in the shops on budget label about a month ago.
And yes, I am a big discworld fan, having all the books, several signed, and about 1/4 first editions.
EDIT:
I just thought, A doctor who game would be excellent, and with the new series coming out next year (after a 15 year break), it would be the prefect time to develop a game! The Doctor is the perfect character for appearing in an adventure game, as he relies more on intelligence then brute force. He also has human companions (The Doctor is a Time-Lord from the planet of gallifrey) that could be used in a similar way to ratpouch from lure of the temptress. The Doctor can also travel through time and space in the TARDIS (Time and relative dimensions in space). He faces numerous enemies, the most famous of which are the Daleks and Cybermen. He also regenerates into a new form when he sustains heavy injury, currently he is on his 9th incarnation (played by christopher eccleston). Although I think the best for an adventure game would be Tom Baker (4th Doctor). (And yes, I am also a big doctor who fan, going so far as to build a life-size replica dalek!)
Funny. 'Dr Who' was one of the possible games I mentioned in one of the early telltale blog comments .
Still, it probably has limited appeal to the americans, so mightn't be the best marketing move.
it may have limited appeal now, but when the new series is released in America... When it was still being made, the Americans liked it as much as anybody, even going so far as to make two films! (Only copies of the first two dalek serials, but...)
Pfft at LA- we're being fair- they aren't. Since when did a gaming company decide they know what the world wants in games, when in reality they are trying to TELL us we want 50 different Star Wars games - I mean honestly- HOW many have been made now?
Sif it's hard to allocate a little bit of funding to the MI project or the S&M project.....bah at them! Go TT!
Monkey Island
Indiana Jones
Sam & Max
Space Quest
Rise of the Dragon
Kings Quest
Quest for Glory series
Maniac Mansion
Zak
The LSLs... Except the newest ones.. that was terrible..
And some of the newer..
Anachronox
The Kyrandia series
The Longest Journey
I could go on and on.. but those are some of my retail favs...
(canceled/unreleased)
Umm. That would involve a publishing deal with LucasArts. And from what I gather, LucasArts aren't particularly enamoured with the adventure genre at this time.
and it was a point 'n click game
was a great game
or like MI
The PC version will be out soon, too.
I just hope to God that if they make Monkey Island 5: A Mighty Pirate's Tale, and if they do they'd better hire Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer and Steve Purcell, beat the crap out of the Escape From Monkey Island team with a rubber chicken for ten minutes and tell all of the voice actors why the acting in COMI was better than that in EFMI (while they're being subjected to water torture, of course).
And besides, EMI was a great game.
