I want to know the same thing. I was going to buy it tomorrow, and then suddenly it's gone!?

I am on board with everyone else in wanting the original versions of these games. Even if they're only available as extras for the remasters.

Now, I'm normally against the whole practice of making an original version of a game only available with a more expensive and less desirable "remaster" but in this case, the original DOS versions of MI 1 + 2, DotT and Full Throttle have not been available for sale in any form for about 20 years.

(And no, being able to switch to the "original" graphics and audio in the remasters, only with additional bugs, glitches, and lack of ScummVM support does NOT count.)

EDIT: Sorry. I'm an idiot. The remasters apparently do not break ScummVM support. They have the original game data embedded in their data files.

You can extract original game data from remastered/special edition.

Haha. I could have written this exact post. Huge fan and this is the only one i did not finish, got stuck in some shop where you had to enter a code on some wheels and i refused to cheat. Will finally finish it now though.

Lucas Arts games missing:

- SW: Force Commander

- SW: BattleFront (Classic 2004)

- Indy 5: Infernal Machine
I know, you guys at GoG don't talk about games that are not ready for release, because you don't want to give us false hope (and some marketing/licence reasons). But please, if there is a chance this game will never make it here, tell us.

- Monkey Island 1+2 (Original)
Especially the German versions, which are different from the lame new re-localization of the Special Editions. Like the Bud Spencer & Terrence Hill movies, the old MI 1+2 games are rare examples where their German localisations are absolutely worth it, because they come with their own humor.
Boris Schneider-Johne (working nowadays at Microsoft Germany) was responsible for the translation (together with Heinrich Lenhardt). He "hacked" Maniac Mansion to change the text and then offered his service to Lucasfilm Games.

The first four I would definitely love to see here and they would be instabuys.
But I couldn´t care less about Monkey Island originals, since you can still take files from Remasters and play them with SCUMMVM.

LoL. The original Battlefront is "Star Wars: Battlefront 1 [Classic 2004], not "Star Wars Battlefront EA [Reboot 2015]"!
Stupid Reboot naming policy.

I'm using this game in Linux with Wine. It works fine except when I want to save a game: it hangs in the "saving" screen (after having saved it), with the music still going, but can't return to the game. I have to kill the program and launch it again. Fortunately I can still load those saved games.

Any advice?

Try playing the game with ResidualVM.

http://www.residualvm.org/downloads/

I'm not sure if it helps, and maybe it creates a bunch of new problems, but at least you can stop using Wine, so if that's the root cause, then the problem should also get fixed. The same can be said of the exe file, ResidualVM doesn't use that, so if there's a problem with that, it's unlikely to occur in ResidualVM.

Of course your current savegames are most likely not going to work with ResidualVM, so that's a thing to consider as well.

You mean Battlefront 2015 or Battlefront 2004? I assume you mean 2015 but 2004 is the one most people want to see here I think.

Worth noting this is a much more complex process than just directing ScummVM to a folder, which is all it would take with the original files. Not saying it's HARD or anything, but remember that some people are computer illiterate.

However, the special edition does not include the original German translation I was talking about, because the localization was rewritten from scratch with the SE.

I already tried it, but it isn't recognized.

Anyway, found that changing to the desktop and returning solves this problem, but now it locks in pete nosepeg's house, and this seems to be a bug in the game itself: guybrush refuses to leave the raft. Other people are commenting this:

Now this is a game that could use an HD remake.

The Monkey Kombat section still brings back bad memories. Strangely enough when I played the game originally I found a bug that didn't allow me to go past. I felt proud of myself at the time that I managed to solve the issue by myself. The issue in question was near the school bit I think.
