  • Lucasarts and the Design of Successful Adventure Games
    LucasArts and the Design of Successful Adventure Games: The True Secret of Monkey Island by Cameron Warren 5056794 for STS 145 Winter 2003 March 18, 2003 2 The history of computer adventure gaming is a long one, dating back to the first visits of Will Crowther to the Mammoth Caves back in the 1960s and 1970s (Jerz). How then did a wannabe pirate with a preposterous name manage to hijack the original computer game genre, starring in some of the most memorable adventures ever to grace the personal computer? Is it the yearning of game players to participate in swashbuckling adventures? The allure of life as a pirate? A craving to be on the high seas? Strangely enough, the Monkey Island series of games by LucasArts satisfies none of these desires; it manages to keep the attention of gamers through an admirable mix of humorous dialogue and inventive puzzles. The strength of this formula has allowed the Monkey Island series, along with the other varied adventure game offerings from LucasArts, to remain a viable alternative in a computer game marketplace increasingly filled with big- budget first-person shooters and real-time strategy games. Indeed, the LucasArts adventure games are the last stronghold of adventure gaming in America. What has allowed LucasArts to create games that continue to be successful in a genre that has floundered so much in recent years? The solution to this problem is found through examining the history of Monkey Island. LucasArts’ secret to success is the combination of tradition and evolution. With each successive title, Monkey Island has made significant strides in technology, while at the same time staying true to a basic gameplay formula.

  • Tony Dorie March 22, 2001 STS145: History of Computer Game Design Henry Lowood
    Tony Dorie March 22, 2001 STS145: History of Computer Game Design Henry Lowood LucasArts and Lucasfilm: A Good Deal for All Involved Introduction: George Lucas is the king over an empire. Over the last thirty-five plus years he has created some of the most recognizable characters of our time. These characters are so ubiquitous in America that they are almost burned into our collective unconscious; they are the archetypes of the modern era. The mention of Star Wars or Indiana Jones sets off the imagination, drawing people into the worlds Lucas has created. The music from both series of movies is immediately recognizable as are the names Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Princess Leia, Darth Vader, Indiana Jones and Obi-Wan Kenobi. While the movies made around these characters welcomed them to the world, their influence is also attributed to their extremely adept promotion. Additionally, most of the money made from these characters comes not from their movies but rather from their merchandise. The Star Wars series has spawned countless spin-offs, all of which serve to increase the public's awareness of them. There have been books, toys, comic books, clothing, radio shows, a Disneyland ride, food items, cartoons, novelties and over twenty-five computer and video games. The Indiana Jones series has been no slouch either, giving rise to toys, books, a television show, another Disneyland ride, comic books and its own set of computer and video games. It is easy to see that George Lucas is a very shrewd businessman. When the original Star Wars movie was made, he retained the rights to any merchandise and he has used those rights brilliantly.
