Art of Afterlife (LucasArts, 1996) by Paul Mica

Like Battlefront, Star Wars Trilogy: Apprentice of the Force (Ubisoft Montreal/Ubisoft) was released 21 years ago today. Same cover art than the very first Star Wars DVD box set, released the same day.

The beloved Star Wars: Battlefront (Pandemic Studios/LucasArts) was released 21 years ago today!

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (Raven Software/LucasArts/Activision) was released 22 years ago. "You play a young Jedi Academy student who must help stop an evil plot by Dark Jedi to collect and use Dark Side energy for their own ends."

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (LucasArts) was released 17 years ago today. The game is an adult next year! One of the last Star Wars events launched with the guidance of George Lucas, TFU was also an ambitious transmedia project at a time when SW movies were a thing of the past.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (LucasArts, 1996): Dash Rendar with a jetpack, early art by Jon Knoles

They translated so many LucasArts games in French 🙏 I remember looking at the game credits and thinking, “These are the same translators ☝️.”

The MMO Clone Wars Adventures (Sony Online Entertainment) was released 15 years ago today. The servers were turned off four years later.

Star Wars: Pit Droids (Lucas Learning) was released 26 years ago today.

Maniac Mansion (Lucasfilm Games) was released on NES 37 years ago.

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (Traveller's Tales/LucasArts) was released 19 years ago today.

I would never have saved the galaxy in Squadrons if I hadn't already saved the galaxy in all the previous games. 👌

Herc's Adventures (Big Ape Productions/LucasArts) was released 28 years ago today.

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (LucasArts, 1997) is currently "free" for Prime subscribers! Awesome game 🔥

Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge and Tales of Monkey Island were released 15 and 16 years ago respectively today.

You can get, currently, Star Wars Rebellion (Coolhand Interactive/LucasArts, 1998) for free if you're a Prime subscriber. I spent a lot of nights on this 4X. 😁

Star Wars Galaxies (Sony Online Entertainment/LucasArts) opened 22 years ago today. This first-ever Star Wars MMORPG, as beloved as ever, marks a milestone for LucasArts and SW games.

It makes me feel old lol

Day of the Tentacle (LucasArts) was released 32 years ago 😍

I discover both the existence of a VR orchestra conducting rhythm game, Maestro, and a recent DLC allowing us to conduct the orchestra for Duel of the Fates. 😍 Available on PlayStation VR2 (PS VR2), Meta Quest, and SteamVR.

Battlefront 2 (DICE/EA, 2017) "Overnight, Battlefront 2 player activity on Steam rocketed upwards, and by Sunday had reached a new all-time peak of 35,892 players. That's more than triple the previous Steam peak of 10,489, and an over 2200% increase from last year's player count of 1,540."

Star Wars: Episode I Insider’s Guide (LucasArts) was released 26 years ago today. I liked the days of CR-ROMs full of information, behind the scenes stuff and concept art. But to tell the truth, in 1999 I was starting to find these on the web.

With a bit of LucasArts in it, since Pat Presley worked on a canceled spin-off of Rogue Squadron 3D (1998). 👀

Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (Sculptured Software/LucasArts/JVC) was released 31 years ago.

Rogue Squadron (Factor 5/LucasArts, 1998) The radar is inspired by the Yavin display in A New Hope (1977). The cake-like wedge became the radar cone. Brilliant. It was added only five months before the release of the game!

RTX Red Rock (LucasArts) was released 22 years ago. The kind of LucasArts games that almost everyone has forgotten. Yet it is one of the few space-set LucasArts games that is not set in the Star Wars universe. But the reviews were mixed - at best.

Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings (Artificial Mind and Movement/LucasArts) was released 16 years ago today.

"At the base level it's a wrapper that lets you play X-Wing in Unity, meaning that it runs smoothly and at modern resolutions with adjustable settings. But add the HD asset pack on top, and you get new 3D models for not just the spaceships, but also the cockpits."

Instruments of Chaos starring Young Indiana Jones (Brian A. Rice, Inc./SEGA) was released 31 years ago.

Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (Game Boy Advance - David A. Palmer Productions/THQ) was released 23 years ago.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure (Lucasfilm Games, 1989) deserves better. 🙂

Later, this Berkey artwork became the box art of Star Wars NES (Beam Software/Lucasfilm Games, 1991)

"It was also just a cool concept. Calling LucasArts? On the phone? It was downright exciting for someone who loved Sam & Max, Star Wars, and the Monkey Island games. Who knew, maybe George Lucas himself would pick up the phone!"

Star Wars Episode I: The Gungan Frontier (Lucas Learning) was released 26 years ago.

Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns (LucasArts) was released 23 years ago.

Good memories!

Every technical block or barrier in the game was met with a reasonable explanation that added to the world building. No surprise that I took that philosophy on to the graphic adventures I worked on afterwards. #gamedev

On this account I try to follow only people related to LFL Games or LucasArts, to repost their cool stuff, but also my other Bsky account. As a result, this account's personal timeline is almost exclusively @thespaceshipper.com 😂

"Seating Jedi and Sith".

Awesome!

There is a crowdfunding campaign for a Psygnosis book! And it will end tomorrow.

12 years ago today, when LucasArts had just been shut down, EA announced a ten-year exclusive contract to produce Star Wars games. This mainly gave us the two Battlefronts (2015/17), Squadrons (2020), Jedi: Fallen Order (2019), Jedi Survivor (2023) + Zero Company (2026) and then Jedi 3 (2027?).

Star Wars Galaxies: Rage of the Wookiees (Sony Online/LucasArts) was released 20 years ago today!

Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (The Collective/LucasArts) was released 20 years ago today.

This was both an alternate opening for Rebel Assault 2: The Hidden Empire (LucasArts, 1995), and a teaser for the game. B-wing 😍
