Tarhiel: I can already see people posting comments like:
"Please, GOG, release <insert you favourite not/yet/released Lucasarts game here> !"

Well, all I can say is mine is Outcast and right now I know it is just a question of time :)
So I will wait here patiently...
They already are :P

Elmofongo: QUESTION!!!

Its says 20+ games? The 6 LucasArts games just released considered 6 of the 20+? So that leaves 14+ games left?
All I can say is keep an eye on this space :)

stg83: Will there be any enigmatic hints for upcoming LucasArts classics releases? ;)
The Enigmatic Hints will be full of everyone's conclusions regarding those games so I won't even need to make Enigmatic hints about those games...that and it would be way too easy to guess.

Imagine the Enigmatic Hint for Monkey Island *holds up a picture of a monkey*...it would be guessed within the first post :P

stg83: Haha...yeah, you would have to put up a red herring instead of a logical hint to throw people from guessing all these really well known games. :)
The Hints are supposed to be enigmatic and, therefore, should have a correct answer. Red herrings would just defeat the purpose :)

johnnygoging: the purpose is to get people talking and speculating. in the end, when you're dealing with the kind of numbers that you are here, it really doesn't matter. somebody is probably gonna get it right anyway. I remember one time TET climbed a tree or something for Harvester. didn't someone guess it right anyway? it doesn't really matter if you release a red herring or not. I would say that it's more about encouraging speculation and building upon the energy generated from that for your release. as long as the enigmatic hints have even a tangential connection to the games, bordering on contrived even, it's fine as far as I'm concerned. given the speed that these things work generally, anything you can do to throw people off a bit longer is fine. not convinced that a red herring would be too bad of an idea.

and congratulations on getting the Lucasarts games. which is what I came to this to say anyway.
I am all for stimulating discussion but it's more fun knowing that the Hint can have a correct answer :) And yes, TET did climb a tree and yes, the hint was guessed in about 29.5 seconds? I think :)

DarthKaal: When I registered here, almost 6 years ago, I would have never guessed that it would take Disney buying Lucasfilm for LucasArts licensing to finally have some respect for their old fanbase.

TheJoe: It's a bit sad really. Releasing on GOG back when we utterly begged for it might even have saved LucasArts from having to sell to Disney.

Imagine it. Had they released here in good time, no one would have to put up with a shitty new Star Wars film.
Wow, I forgot I wrote a post on that wall :D

Lemon_Curry: Ditto. I felt like Al Bundy in this scene when I read the announcement.

JudasIscariot: Wow, I forgot I wrote a post on that wall :D

Lemon_Curry: So did you have at least 1000 first-hour sales? :)
More than likely, knowing how excited everyone was to see them released :)

omega64: It's a joke concerning the fact GOG is taking forever with the releases.
If we released them any faster then everyone would be in Silverhawk's situation. We don't want that, do we? :D
