Best LucasArts Adventure Games (& How To Play Them In 2020)

Throughout the 1990s, LucasArts released some of the greatest adventure games of all time. The company, founded by George Lucas as Lucasfilm Games in the 1980s, released popular titles based on Lucasfilm properties like Indiana Jones and Star Wars. But it also released many well-loved original adventure games on PC, as well as Nintendo and Sega home consoles.

Some of those games, like Zombies Ate My Neighbors, remain classics that are a bit harder to find nowadays. Zombies Ate My Neighbors, for example, came to the Wii Virtual Console alongside its sequel, Ghoul Patrol, in 2009 and 2010. However, it isn’t available on any current-gen console. Thankfully, other LucasArts adventure games are a bit easier to play in 2020.

For fans of Zombies Ate My Neighbors and early graphic adventure games, Day of the Tentacle is much easier to play in 2020. The LucasArts game, which is a sequel to 1987’s Maniac Mansion, is considered one of the greatest adventure games of all time. Day of the Tentacle combines humor with sci-fi and B-movie horror elements, all told with zany cartoons inspired by Looney Tunes and Chuck Jones. Although it released in 1993, Day of the Tentacle was remastered by Double Fine Productions in 2016 and can be found on PS4, iOS, Xbox One, and PC. That means just about anyone can play this classic adventure game in 2020 – and in HD!

How To Play Monkey Island & Grim Fandango In 2020

Starting with The Secret of Monkey Island in 1990, the pirates-themed Monkey Island adventure series is one of the most recognizable LucasArts IPs. Several of the games, including Secret of Monkey Island 2 and a Telltale Games iteration called Tales of Monkey Island, can still be found on PS3 and Xbox 360 systems. The remake of Secret of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge is also available digitally for Xbox One.

Then there’s Grim Fandango, a LucasArts adventure game that combined Casablanca-like film noir with Day of the Dead calaveras to create a strange, unique experience. Although it failed commercially when it first released in 1998, it’s made a lot of “Best Games of All Time” lists, and has developed quite the cult following. Grim Fandango was remastered, again by Double Fine Productions, in 2015 for PS4 and Vita. Since then, remasters have appeared on Android, iOS, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Grim Fandango is also supposed to arrive on Xbox One sometime in 2020.

Although LucasArts only exists now for licensing purposes, the company created some of the best adventure games of the ’80s and ’90s. Even though quite a lot of them are hard to find now, several greats like Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, and Grim Fandango were remastered and can be easily played in 2020.
