Continued thread
quite literally the turtle puzzle from The Dig. A Basilemys.
peter mcconnell's AfterLife soundtrack is the most underrated LucasArts/LFG game music there is, mostly because no one played the game.
the music is also brutally underproduced. instead of redbook audio tracks, the team decided to (criminally) crunch the music down to 8-bit, mono, 22050hz. it sounds like it's coming out of a telephone handset.
today i did some audacity work and extracted one of the tracks directly from the game files, and did a light remaster. only so much can be done to make potato audio sound good, but this is a step in the right direction. it's now stereo. enjoy.
fwiw, this is peter himself playing the electric violin on this track. i had no idea he is a violinist.
it took me 35 years to realize that Pipe Dream for the microsoft entertainment pack - something I played *a lot* as a kid - is Lucasfilm Games' Pipe Dream.
(fwiw, the entire screenshot is a palette of 10 colours. incredible expressiveness with the 3-colour handpainted logo)
Thanks to @0mega I have stumbled upon the interesting article about porting the great #DayOfTheTentacle to Linux by @Cheeseness and the glorious "Tux taking on the world" artwork!

Thanks for the bringing the gane to Linux! 
Just a while ago I have sent the game as a starting gift to my mother who has a new laptop capable handling some games and is running on #LinuxMint.

Side view and talking animation test!
(Yeah I need to fix and finish the shirt and jeans, but is just for testing)
Berühmt sein hat seine Vorteile. Wenn Steven Spielberg bei einem Rätsel im Videospiel “Monkey Island” nicht weiter wusste, rief er bei Lucasfilm Games an und fragte nach Ron Gilbert - dem Erfinder des Spiels!

Hinter dir! - Ein dreiköpfiger Affe! Die 32-Farben-Version von Monkey Island für Commodore Amiga war schon damals, Anfang der 90er, ziemlich speziell im Gegensatz zu den EGA- und VGA-Varianten der PC-Fassung. Der Soundtrack war auch schon immer etwas ganz Besonderes! Leider geraten Heimcomputer wie der A500 heutzutage immer mehr völlig in Vergessenheit. Das muss verhindert werden!
Daher bin ich sehr froh, dass mir vorhin endlich mal die originalen, deutschen Lucasfilm Datenträger in die Hände gefallen sind. 4 x 880KB DD 3,5Zoll Disketten. Hab sie gleich mal für euch archiviert, eingescannt und hochgeladen.

Viel Spaß!

Today marks the 30th anniversary of Full Throttle, released on April 30, 1995. A cult classic little gem from the golden age of LucasArts point-and-click adventure games. Tim Schafer's first solo project, featuring biker gangs, storytelling and cutscenes that draw inspiration from the Mad Max films, a protagonist who gets wrongfully framed for murder, a distinct cinematic style, and a soundtrack by the Gone Jackals.
Ben, the main character, was voiced by Roy Conrad, while Mark Hamill voiced the game's villain. Despite its planned sequels never getting off the ground, and the title being relatively short, Full Throttle has more than managed to perfectly stand out on its own thanks to its humour, memorable story and characters, and its fresh new approach to the adventure game genre. Decades later, it still deserves all the love it's getting, and if you've never played it, the 2017 remaster is an excellent way to fix that.

Vor Maniac Mansion gab es tatsächlich das Point’n‘Click Lucasfilm-Adventure „Labyrinth“, basierend auf dem gleichnamigen Film.

Here's another gorgeous set of floppy disks for a classic DOS game. "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" in a 16 color EGA version. This was released in 1989 on 6 x 360K, 5.25 inch disks.

Have fun! 
My friend Jess is doing a show on his podcast where him and his co-host are going to determine the best #LucasArts game, and I'm like... isn't it obvious? #adventuregames
I just spent a few hours to re-scan some of my old CDs from the "Bestseller Games" magazines. I know, these CD-ROMs are pretty much everywhere on the internet, but I wanted to have better scans of my originals. These discs are precious to me!
Here's the original disc from Bestseller Games, Vol. 1 from 1994. It contains the German VGA release of "Indiana Jones III - Der letzte Kreuzzug" for MS-DOS. Maybe it is useful to someone. Have fun!
