Among the batch of Lucasarts games on Steam are some real classics, like LOOM and The Dig for £2.99.
Lucasarts has finally released the first of what we hope to be many batches of games on Steam, revealing a simple pricing structure for it's back catalogue that's remarkably fair even if the Steam versions of ye olde SCUMM games
don't work in ScummVM, apparently.
The first batch of Lucasarts games on Steam covers a broad range of titles, including forgotten classics like
LOOM and
The Dig, right through to Star Wars tie-ins and recent
Lego Indy titles.
Best of all, the pricing system for the games actually looks remarkably fair and the games seem to be slotted into one of three price bands based on their age and success, with the old adventure games which we're so fond of coming in at just £2.99 a pop - which is about what you'd expect to pay if you tracked down a physical copy on eBay probably. Check out the rest of the prices below.

Prices in euros are on average %15+ higher than their British or US equivalent. Add to that the exchange rate, if you live in a European country, where the Euro isn't used as currency.
Hell yeah. I still remember the frustration when I had to cross the lava stream and couldnt figure out the right order to cross the plates.
Oh the sleepless nights :D
Or even being remade!
Lol, yeah it was navigating the underground tunnels on the floating crab thing that gives me nightmares!!
I think the phrase 'watch this space' applies here!
More than worth it, if you ask me!

Processor: Any 2002 era PC or better
Memory: 32 MB RAM

The game was release in 1992, where you could get away with 286, 1MB of RAM and an 8bit Adlib, I seem to remember it only took about 11MB of space!
I appreciate it's probably the Steam Client's minimum specs but it did make me chuckle
That game... It's so old, that i have better graphics in my SonyEricsson :D I remember playing that game in a old pc with those big black giant disks :D Just look at how much the games evolved in 17 years... wow...
Graphics isn't everything. :p
Er.. ..Indy StarWars? That sounds cool, same actor nevertheless..
I've tried on 2 different PC's and I cannot get it to connect to the server.
