Fullforce: I would kill for Full Throttle or Day of The Tentacle. And Grim Fandago, obviously.

LOL Now that brings back memories! I totally loved that game!

The Lucas Classic Line was released not too far back in the past, re-releasing the CD versions of titles such as Outlaws, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, The Dig, Monkey Island 3+4, and some of the older Star Wars games. It may not be available off the shelf at your everyday mainstream shop, but most online gameshacks have at least one of these titles in stock.
This, and the fact that LucasArts seems to treat their older backlog of games as an embarassing episode of the past that is currently a burden on the company, makes me sternly believe we will never see a single release by LucasArts onto any digital distribution platform.
I remember a fan creation made a couple years back, that featured all the Monkey Island games on one DVD, complete with a fully working installer for all games and craploads of extras (complete soundtracks, artwork, fan-made flash games, that Monkey Island theatre play, interactive hint systems, manuals, all kinds of other stuff). Now of course this is all pirated.
Image if LucasArts made such a thing, with an official touch to it (quality), and released it. Want to bet it'd make enough money to raise some eyebrows over at the gates of he ... I mean marketing division?

But if that compilation was priced anything like the classics line games... it would be something like 60 € or more... talking about insane prices....

EDIT:Whoops, didn't read the post above. Oh well, at least I said how much they cost.
If you live in the UK, LucasArts have already re-released Sam and Max, Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, The Dig, Curse of Monkey Island, Escape from Monkey Island and Grim Fandango as LucasArts classics. They cost about £5-£10. You can get them on Amazon (UK) I managed to get the original Monkey Island game from one of my friends who (luckily) didn't like them. They are all brilliant games and are some of my all time favourite games. I hope people who have never played them get the chance to play them some time.
