So that’s what got the LucasArts Twitter team all excited yesterday! LucasArts have partnered up with Steam, adding a whole bunch of their back catalogue to the digital distribution platform. From Wednesday, July 8 2009 you will be able to get from Steam:
- Armed and Dangerousâ„¢
- Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis
- Indiana Jones® and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure
- LEGO® Indiana Jones: The Original Adventure
- LOOMâ„¢
- Star Wars Battlefront® II
- Star Wars Republic Commando®
- Star Wars Starfighterâ„¢
- The Dig®
- Thrillville®: Off the Rails™
On July 15th, you’ll also be able to get The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, a completely re-imagined version of the first game in the series that adds updated high definition graphics, a re-mastered musical score, and full voiceover to the classic adventure game originally launched in 1990.
Got to say, out of that whole list, the think that has me really excited is the chance to easily get hold of Indiana Jones® and the Fate of Atlantis easily again. Also looking forward to The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition. Might even take a run through LOOM and The Dig again too. I’m a big fan of Steam as an easy digital distribution system, and it’s really nice to see LucasArts embracing the PC once more.
