Lucasarts was my favourite game developer. I was so sad to see them close their doors. This was a beautiful tribute to an amazing company. Thankyou for your work and for showing me some less know titles to check out.
I also love LucasArts and all things related to it! And I thank You for taking 1 hour and 22 minutes of your precious time to watch it! :)
Have a great weekend! Cheers!
I still can't believe that Disney has shut down LucasArts. It was after all one of the most influential studios in gaming.
I'm still mad to this day. But at least it's technically revived right now but as a licensor to other publishes and developers besides EA.
They shut them down because They knew Lucis Arts was a threat to them
Disney has completely destroyed the Star Wars franchise. As far as I'm concerned the Expanded Universe is the true Star Wars Canon, and the three films Disney made are just bad Fanfic.
Indeed.
I felt flaccid a disturbance, it's as if a million man-babies cried out about Disney with the same stale takes as if anyone gave a rat's arse.
One of... if not the best documentary of all time thank you so much for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Disney acquiring star wars is the worst thing that could ever happen
Excellent video. loved it! Totally brought back some old memories. I still remember picking up Fate of Atlantis, X-Wing and Tie Fighter from CompUSA back in the day. Hours and hours of fun!
Thank you for watching and for leaving your much appreciated feedback, Mark! Feel free to watch my other history and retrospective videos! And a ton of other stuff ;) All the best!
Have a great weekend!
Cheers!
That was awesome! Thanks for putting this together!
And I thank You for watching, Jean-Denis!
Cheers!
Fantastic job, man. Thanks.
My pleasure! Thank you!
Ahh its good to see this Documentary put together into one part :) nice one mate and thank you :)!!hope you are well!

Thank you mate i appreciate too,wish i was my self allright but some psychological issues dont help me much :(
Stay strong! ;)
Great video and so much information given.Also I love your accent! Greetings from Greece!
Thank you so much for your feedback, Christos! Appreciate it!
All the best! Cheers!
Highly entertaining video, great stuff! Lucasarts released so many epic games during its golden years. Thank you for your work. 💯
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it! Feel free to check my other documentaries, on Sierra Online, the Bitmap Brothers and more 😉
Lol they actually brought back LucasFilm Games today
Yep! That's right! :)
I did actually watch this a year ago but I watched it again as I love me some retro games 🤘🏻😆🤘🏻!!!
Thank you so much! Appreciate it!
Cheers!
same haha
Awesome video! I really enjoyed it. Are you going to make any more videos like this one? Perhaps on some other, long forgotten video game companies?
Hi, Blazej! Have you watched my other videos related to forgotten publishers/developers like Psygnosis, Imagine, Ocean, Dinamic, Topo Soft, Europress, Evolution Studios, Thalion?
Thank you so much for watching! Truly appreciate it! :)
1:21 revenge of the jedi shirt.... man, thats gold
Right? :)
this is the most underrated in TH-cam channel ever!
Thanks for the support! All the best!
Excellent work! Planning to support on patreon after discovering this video. I absolutely love lucasarts games, thanks for the memories I hope you do more coverage of these amazing games.
Thank you so much, Josh! Truly appreciate it!
I have a few already in the channel! Fell free to browse!
Have a great week!
Good job dude.... a very thorough documentary... really took me back
Thank you so much, Samar! Truly appreciate your time! :)
Have a great weekend!
Excellent content mate!! Combined 2 of my favourite things from
childhood - Star Wars and video games!!
Nice! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! Cheers!
@itsaPIXELthing yeah I've subbed mate. That's the first video of that kind of length that I watched all the way through, for a very long time. Thank you, really enjoyed it.
@itsaPIXELthing just watched some of the one on beat em ups. I've saved it to watch later, cos videos like it are excellent ways to help track down MAME ROMs for download. There are some fantastic modern takes on double dragon style games now too - check out Mother Russia Bleeds. I cannot comment on its politics, but I'd love to be able to play it and all the other new ones like it - they look incredible. Paprium is another I seem destined to never try.
Appreciate it :) Have fun!
Then, I recommend watching my other documentaries, on Sierra On-Line, The Bitmap Brothers, Psygnosis and more ;)
Incredible Video, keep on rocking
Thank you, kind Sir! :)
Cheers!
I can’t believe that LucasArts was shutdown by Disney!
Every time I see that logo, I hear the iconic "*PHONE RING!* LucasArts!" sound in my head. :)
:) thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this video! This was an amazing random TH-cam recommendation!
Appreciate it! You have other related videos on my channel, like the history of Sierra online and Psygnosis.
Not sure about the Saturn port of Hurc’s Adventures but I owned and played it on PlayStation, and I lived in the western part of US
Great video about my favorite game company. Love the narration
Thank you so much for the support! Glad you've enjoyed it!
E-P-I-C VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best of LUCAS ART history, brought so much fun memories!!!!!!!!!! So sad Lucas Arts ended the way it did ;(
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video!
Have a great weekend!
40:33 They had to record Sound from VHS Tapes? What the hell man....
Yeah! Isn't that crazy?? :)
Thanks ;)
I almost didn't watch this, as I had never heard of this channel before. But I'm glad I stuck with it. There's a lot of good information here, and the script is very nice. I'm learning a lot about some of the very first computer games I ever owned and played. A pleasant trip down memory lane, for sure.
Thank you so much for your support! Check my other documentaries, like the history of Sierra Online, Bitmap Brothers, Psygnosis, etc :)
and... LucasFilm games is back
Indeed! :)
YOU'RE THE KING MANN IHVE BEEN WANTING THIS FOR SO LONGG
Thanks again for this masterpiece of a video!! Have you heard about the new revival of Lucasfilm Games and how different developers will start making Star Wars games again? I was wondering your thoughts I'd love to see a video from you about that and on more Star Wars games!! I saw you did a Dark Forces review I'd love a review on Dark Forces 2!!! You definitely seem to have great taste in games I hope you do more Star Wars videos in the future!!!!
Boom!

"I thought you liked Sky something? ... What?"
Enjoy your launch ...
I remember going to the shop and seeing Shadows of the Empire on N64, the Hoth section and being absolutely blown away
Amazing research. Thanks for that entertainment.
+Digital Content Network My pleasure :)
Have a great week!
Lucasfilm Games also released several side-scrollers during the LucasArts era, also entered the console market with several successful games, starting in 1991 with Star Wars for the NES, and following the next year, in 1992 with Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Defenders of Dynatron City. Also in 1992, they released Super Star Wars for the Super NES, with each game based on each of the three films from the Star Wars original trilogy: Super Star Wars (1992), Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1993) and Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1994), following with additional titles for the next 3 years. An Indiana Jones game based on the first three films of the franchise titled Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures (1994) was developed alongside Factor 5, the first of many joint collaborations between the two studios.
They also released some games not based on their existing IPs. Zombies Ate My Neighbors (1993) and its sequel Ghoul Patrol (1994) were overhead run and gun side-scrollers inspired by classic 1950's Horror B-movies. A spiritual successor called Herc's Adventures was released in 1997 and was inspired by Greek mythology. Metal Warriors (1995), a side-scroller inspired by mecha anime, and Big Sky Trooper were also developed using the same engine as Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Though these games sold poorly, they later garnered a cult following and are now considered to be Cult Classics from the 16-Bit era.
What an incredibe retrospective.
Fantastic work!
Thank you so much for watching and for your truly appreciated feedback! :)
Cheers!
The best youtuber ever, thx
+King Artorias Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video ;)

Olá, Simão! Sabes que eu costumo fazer este tipo de compilações e como estou a chegar ao final do 3º ano de canal, esta foi uma dessas compilações que tinha que fazer ;)
Grande abraço, Simão! Obrigado por todo o apoio durante mais um ano! :)
Bom fim de semana!
My favourite FPS ever made... Outlaws!!!
Great game! Indeed! :)
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Good work! Really extensive and informative.
Glad you liked it!
LucasArts were my 2nd favourite publisher after Microprose! But I got pretty much all the games from both of them!
Thank you so much for stopping by! :)
That was very thorough and well done. Thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks 😊
If pressed on it and have to list my FAVE game its always Grim Fandango. Other games have hit all those sweet sweet spots at once but Grim is something special to me. Oh, all those other great contrmporaries of it; Full Throttle, Monkey Island, the usual suspects.
Great research and outline, keep it up!
Thanks, Phil! Appreciate it!
Cheers!
JK and JA were honest pinnacles of multiplayer excellence. That and AvP2. I feel almost no games matches the ingenuity of these since.
Underrated.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this (huge) video!
All the best!
I never was a big fan of the games. I only had Zak McKraken for my C64.
But I enjoyed watching this episode and I am really sad that you have such less subscribers. :(
I like your channel and se calhar eu tenho que fazer publicidade aqui na alemanha...
Please don't stop your work :)
I'll try not to stop! ;) I wish I could have more time to dedicate to my channel and to promote it.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Truly appreciate it! :)
Abraço!
Great video, thanks! 👍🙂
My pleasure! Thank you!
dope!
Good one ;)
I cannot wait to play the next installment of Jedi Survivor infinite
superb work. thank you!
I thank You for watching!
Cheers!
Jim Ward was responsible by LucasArts demise, alongside George Lucas himself. His obsession with cancelling stuff and starting everything from scratch was the worst thing for the company. I feel sad for all the people that worked there.
They should have kept improving adventure games. Cancelling the sequels to Full Throttle, Sam and Max, and the new Indiana Jones were their worst decisions.
It's also incredible that Kathleen Kennedy not only ruined the new Star Wars movies, but also 1313.
Still, it was a great studio during its golden age.
If only George Lucas was able to cancel all of the Star Wars sequels and start from scratch again
Amazing Work man! :)
Thank you so much! Appreciate it!
Cheers!
Love me some Steve Purcell XD
Love me some Sam and Max.
Fun Fact: he actually help make the Disney Movie Cars and was responsible for some of the character designs. (Namely the Banshee in 'Mater and the Ghost Light)
Nice! :) Thanks for sharing those details and curious facts! :)
I remember as a kid playing "Behind Jaggy Lines" ermmmmm I mean "Rescue of Fractulas" on my Atari 800
So many great memories, indeed :) Thanks for watching!
Obi Kenobi should have been bundled with KOTOR
Re***
"That's a name many forgot."
WHAT!
"Yup he's angry."
Let me guess someone stole your blaster?
"Who are you?"
Thats a good song? Im glad you like music...
"Answer the damn question!"
Ok sir Alokin Thunderwalker
"Who is Alokin Thunderwalker?"
Not Skyjogger sir!
Wonderful video! So well done!
Thanks, Brandon! Appreciate it!
This is a excellent documental. You have a new subscriber, I have to see all tour other videos.Regards from.a PC fan.

Obrigado por este video! vi até ao ultimo segundo!
Só te tenho a agradecer por teres tirado 1 hora e 20 minutos do teu tempo para ver este vídeo :)
Grande abraço, Marco! Tudo de bom!
in the end they should have it rather called Star Wars Arts ,lol
Great docu you put together!
Thank you so much for your feedback ;)
Stay safe and have a great 2021!
6:23 Toasty!

Let´s just not talk about Jim Ward...
Fate of Atlantis, definitely infitely better than the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ;)
Indeed :) Love that game so much!
Check my Top 10 video related to point n click graphic adventures!

Great video!
Thank you so much for your feedback, Morten! Appreciate it!
Have a great 2019!
great video
Thanks!
You never mentioned trailblazer which i think was a sequel to ballblazer which i actually had a lot of fun with, and i also had Koronis rift, which again was imho prob better than it got credited for, and Maniac Mansion was my fav adventure title of that time,, didn't realize it was Lucasarts as i believe Sierra were the kings of adventure games back then
If I recall correctly, Trailblazer wasn't developed not published by LucasFilm Games. That's why I didn't mention it ;)
Also love adventure games by Sierra :) Have you checked my documentary on them? Here's the direct link: th-cam.com/video/l_1TZoNiW6U/w-d-xo.html
wow....horas de trabalho aqui....tanto jogo etc... dele
abraço e bom video
Muitas mesmo, mas no final compensa tudo ;)
Abraço, Jorge!
Awesome documentary!
LUCAS ARTS was an amazing video game company I don't even play video games anymore just because lucas arts has died
Yeah, I understand. I'm also a huge fan of LucasArts and it's really sad that we don't have them around us anymore.
Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Props for calling it the 'Cartage Crash'
So SICK and TIRED of 'Videogame Crash' when i Fact there was still videogames that were being played at Arcades and Home Computers like the C64.
We never felt that here in Europe ;) thanks for watching 🙂
@@itsaPIXELthing It never felt that way in the States.
It was just sensationalized by reporters and Parental Groups.
@@FIDreamsThanks for clarifying that :) Appreciate it!
LA Star Wars > EA Star Wars. Not to mentioned, Lucas Arts has both major quantity and quality Star Wars game out there
Wow, all this time i thought wrath unleashed was master of monsters 2. Those games were both great.
Good news, Disney is planning to Revive Lucasarts under it's former name Lucasfilm Games.
Yeah! Indeed! So I've heard ;)
Awesome!
Cheers, Conrado! Thanks for watching!
@@itsaPIXELthing They realized the EA Deal is a Bad thing, #PinkVader4PreOrder.
100 likes :-)
#retrogameforce fully supports this amazing youtuber :-)
Thank you ;)
Cheers!
Great 👍🏼
movies more automated than amazon
Electronic Arts is responsible for destroying many would be or used to be great games.
Indeed
Amigo so acabei der ver todo hoje adorei toda historia completa ouve ai alguns jogos não joguei um dia vou jogar grande abraço ver resto video é comprido demorei ver todo uns dias ....:)
Eh eh! Sim, foi uma epopeia! :) Adorei fazer o vídeo!
Muito obrigado por teres visto e por deixares o teu fantástico feedback!
Abraço!
You can see how their console games were action and for younger player, whereas on PC they were much more serious, with sophisticated gameplay for adults! LucasArts should have stuck with games, as they joined up with Disney for movies, and they went down the toilet, leaving LucasArts and Disney losing 100s of millions with each movie!
Thanks for watching and for leaving your much appreciated comment! :) Cheers!
I did play Most of the adventure games
I love their graphic adventures! My favorite genre back in the glory days of DOS gaming ;)
Awesome bio of LucasArts 🤩
Now remember there is a letter named H😉
Yeah, I know... sorry about that.
And thanks for watching!
I played almost all Star Wars video games
Awesome :)
@@itsaPIXELthing very good documentary
@@mariowankenobi3009 Thanks! Appreciate it!
Hey, wot about Humongous Entertainment? It was founded by Ron Gilbert, early Lucasfilm Games ltd. and creator of The Secret Of Monkey Island (and Monkey Island 2, and co-created Maniac Mansion with Gary Wynick).
Oh, man! Sorry! I totally forgot about Humongous Ent. :( Thank you so much for pointing that out!
Take care, Jamie!
@@itsaPIXELthing ;-)
I loved Thrillville
Indeed, a great game :)
Thanks for watching!
Ea killed Lucas arts
Disney destroyed the best franchise and great game studio.
Indeed.
Thanks for watching and for leaving your comment.
Cheers!
Somebody mentioned gladius God bless God i wish we would get a remake
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it!
@@itsaPIXELthing it was very comprehensive and I like your energy keep it up man
Este é sem dúvida o video que eu gostei mais ate agora no teu canal e não entendo porque não tem mais vizualizações Que trabalheira. Estão ai bastantes jogos que não conhecia por explorar. A ver se vejo o remake do grim fandango que ate gostava do original mas aquele interface não me agradava muito. Ora bem , só uns pequenos detalhes, lembro-me perfeitamente de jogar o super star wars em ms-dos, e tambem m lembro de 1 jogo de xadrez , só que esse não sei se era da lucas arts. São apenas reparos, pois o video esta muito bom.
Foi, realmente, um vídeo que me deu bastante trabalho, mas gozo também! :)
Muito obrigado pelo apoio, Pedro! Fico feliz por teres gostado ;)
Em relação à versão DOS do Super Star Wars, foi desenvolvida pela Softgold e publicada pela LucasArts. Já o Star Wars Chess (deve ser esse) não foi nem desenvolvido nem publicado pela LucasArts. Veio por parte da Software Toolworks.
So sad that Disney closed Lucasarts. No other gaming companies formed by movie producers stood on their own for decades the way Lucasarts did.
Indeed. Thanks for watching and for your feedback, Benjamin!
I get that Lucas arts is basically stars wars everything, but this video left out ALOT of great games by Lucas arts and was very very Star wars forward in the video... It's a shame so many got left out
Like, for instance...
@@itsaPIXELthing defenders of dynatron, , air combat, metal warrior, gladius, wrath.... Thrillville, I know I'm missing some, but that's just a few there...
King's Quest is from Sierra... check my Sierra Online documentary
@@itsaPIXELthingI just realized that after I posted I fixed my comment
Defenders of Dynatron City: 0:14:03; not sure what Air Combat you're talking about; Metal Warriors: 0:23:25; Gladius: 0:56:57; not sure what Wrath you're also talking about; Thrillville: 1:05:14
Why do you pronounce "hidden" as "eden"?
I also would like to play this thriling game "Full Throttle - L on wheels".
Should have paid a speaker
I hate disney
Sorry I love these games was looking forward to watching this video. Till I heard your voice and boring commentary. Might want to just do videos with subtitles lol.
Appreciate your honesty ;) Thanks for watching, though!
Awesome!!!!! #vimpelomfgaming
Olá, Martinha :) Diverte-te por aqui!
WOW! ton of great video contents about video games. I spend great time with your chanel.Your video chanel is underated and overlooked hidden gems in gaming chanel. I am very sad . you deserve better.Thank you for your time and passion and efforts.
Hi, Jon! Truly appreciate those inspiring words ;) I love doing these videos! Thanks for watching and for leaving your amazing comment!
Cheers!
Lol, all that crapchises were complete crap since they emerged at global market 🤣
