  • 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.

La compañía LucasArts, con su particular mezcla de humor, cinefilia y sencillez de con- trol, dibujó el molde a seguir para las demás desarrolladoras de juegos digitales. Este artículo pretende exponer, a través de dos de sus ejemplos más importantes, Maniac Mansion y su secuela, Day of the Tentacle, cuáles fueron los principales argumentos que la instituyeron, no sólo como uno de los referentes esenciales del espacio lúdico, sino también como uno de los objetos culturales más señalados de su época, al englobar y transmitir, desde su propio intertexto y su cualidad novedosa, a otros medios como la literatura, la animación, la televisión, y, primordialmente, el cine. PALABRAS CLAVE: Humor, cine, videojuegos, serie B, LucasArts. ABSTRACT From the mid-eighties to the end of the nineties, the graphic adventures experienced a period of splendor in the video game market. The company LucasArts, with its par- ticular mixture of humor, cinephilia and simplicity of control, drew the format to fol- low for other developers of digital games.

  • Ben There, Dan That! / Time Gentlemen, Please!
    Ben There, Dan That! / Time Gentlemen, Please! Even though Sierra and LucasArts gave up on adventure games around the turn of the century, there are still those who hold on to the belief that the genre is very much alive. But without the continuation of games like Monkey Island, Space Quest and Simon the Sorcerer, what we have are, mostly, legions of humorless entries with depressingly dry CG backgrounds, plus the occasional cartoonish adventure that tries to be funny but fails spectacularly. Former adventure creators still make some great work, of course. Tim Schaefer, of Grim Fandango, spent a long time working on Psychonauts and Brütal Legend, both of which were hilarious despite not being adventure games, while Telltale, formed with some of the other LucasArts staff, comes close to the glory days of the genre. But it‟s not quite the same. So it was more or less out of nowhere that a tiny group of Brits called Zombie Cow Studios brought out two of the funniest adventures since... well, since ever, perhaps. Ben There, Dan That! and its sequel, Time Gentlemen Please!, are both low budget hits made with Adventure Game Studio and have a graphical style most consistent with elementary school notebook doodles, but succeed tremendously because they‟re so brilliantly written. One could call it “The British version of South Park!” and that wouldn‟t entirely be wrong, but that‟s a glib summation of it. While both creations have uber low-fi visuals, subversive plotting, and more than just a bit of toilet humor, Zombie Cow‟s games replace South Park's libertarian cynicism with a self aware affection for adventure games, LucasArts in particular.

Cognitive scientist Marvin Minsky argues that “Our connection to the real world is very thin, and our connection with the artificial world is going to be more intimate and satisfying than anything that’s come before” (Minsky). Minsky suggests that the deliberate construction of games satisfies a longing for control that is not satiated by the material world. Gaming, like literature, uses the mechanics of its medium to tell stories.

    2nd Edition, June 2008 Grim Fandango is copyrighted by LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC. Portions of this novelization are original to the author. More than likely the game’s copyright covers those as well although it’s unlikely anyone would ever care to debate the point. 1 Grim Fandango enter Dying Everything began when I died. Life doesn’t count. I fouled that up good but death gave me a second chance I never expected, so this is where I’m beginning: Judgment Day. I got one hell of a shock after I died. When the reaper handling my case brought me in, he told me that I had to remain in the Land of the Dead indefinitely. Since I hadn’t expected there to even be a Land of the Dead, I needed an explanation for what was happening and why. But I didn’t get one, not really. Not one that made much sense at first. He told me that I had a debt to work off, a moral debt. I asked him what that meant. “Mr. Calavera…” the reaper began. “Call me Manny,” I said. The reaper didn’t smile, of course, not with an inflexible bone face; but I sensed, somehow, that he would have been smiling if he could. “Manny,” he said. “With a record like yours, you won’t be allowed to continue on to the Ninth Underworld for some time. You’re debt will have to paid off.” I noticed he hadn’t really answered the question. “Suppose I walk or hitch a lift? Forget the train or bus or whatever.” “Manny, listen to me: do not try to leave town.
