Lucasarts classics hit Steam, prices revealed

Published on 9th July 2009 by Joe Martin

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.

The Dig - £2.99 / $4.99 / €3.99

LOOM - £2.99 / $4.99 / €3.99

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis - £2.99 / $4.99 / €3.99

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - £2.99 / $4.99 / €3.99

Star Wars: Starfighter - £2.99 / $4.99 / €3.99

Star Wars: Republic Commando - £6.99 / $9.99 / €8.99

Armed and Dangerous - £6.99 / $9.99 / €8.99

Star Wars: Battlefront II - £12.99 / $19.99 / €17.99

Thrillville: Off the Rails - £12.99 / $19.99 / €17.99

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures - £12.99 / $19.99 / €17.99

Oh, and don't forget that Telltales' Tales of Monkey Island is now available on Steam too and that you can check out our review of episode one for more info, or let us know your thoughts in the forums.

Fate of Atlantis is a great game.

CardJoe 9th July 2009, 12:29

Prices updated with Euros - and rep added! Cheers guys.

I know we're talking low prices here, but that doesn't change the fact that apparently we have to pay the Euro markup tax again.

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.

I think the phrase 'watch this space' applies here!

That'll be 8 Euros now [both Indy titles] and another X on the 15th when they release Monkey Island's remake.
More than worth it, if you ask me!

Check out the minimum Spec's on Steam:

OS: Windows XP or Vista
Processor: Any 2002 era PC or better
Memory: 32 MB RAM
Graphics: 2 MB - PCI Graphics Card
DirectX®: Required for sound
Hard Drive: 155 MB
Sound: 16-bit sound card

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

Xir 9th July 2009, 18:47

Anyone else having problems getting Steam to connect?

I've tried on 2 different PC's and I cannot get it to connect to the server.

Flibblebot 10th July 2009, 22:31

Nope, working fine here.

its nuts to think that George Lucas is worth 10.8 Billion (yes US) *cough* star wars *cough* but the man seriously is a one hit wonder, not much of a creator if you ask me, he hasnt done anything worth mentioning movie wise since Star Wars lol but I guess when you have that much money you probably just dont care anymore.
