Question is: Do we want the good old times of Lucasart games back or not? On my opinion there were 3 - 4 facts which caused the die off of a genre Lucasart dominated. 1. When the first ego shooters came more people played that and hence the demand on adventures went down. 2. Lucasarts focused more on their Start Wars section and probably less money was available for their adventures. 3. In Germany "Doc Bobo" left the translation team and all the following games not translated by him where a little bit less funny. 4. No competition. As said before Lucasarts dominated that genre, and Sierra wasn't a real opponent. Restart - Restore - Save isn't what the people really wanted. I only played Sierra games because I have played all Lucasarts games and there wasn't any left...
Today there is nothing arround what is really combining all the facts. There are planty of ideas no gaming company is interested. It's just murder - death - kill, sports, driving, 3D and more 3D.
Why don't we form a company and get the fun back we had decads ago?
