It was the last good adventure game by Lucas Arts.

Well, I'd say Grim Fandango was just as good, although it was hampered alot by the neanderthal interface. IIRC it came out a year later.

I agree that MI3 was better than its reputation. I think MI3 is the best of the trilogy (number 4 doesn't merit counting)

4 merits counting only due to the first half of the game and even that was weak.

Grim Fandango I never liked the control system, but the comedy was there.

Pity we don't get any new Monkey Island or anything adventure-gamey till 2015 (as said by some head of Lucas Arts)

I mean, how long can you ride Star Wars coat tails before it gets boring?

NEWSFLASH: LucasArts buys Trilby Franchise!

In economic news today, game producer LucasArts (LucasFilm, LucasDigital [ILM/SS]) has bought exclusive licencing rights to the "Trilby" franchise, owned by Benjamin Croshaw, including previous (free) titles such as "7 Days A Skeptic", "5 Days A Stranger", and "Trilby's Notes".

When our reporter called Croshaw, he remarked that his fanbase was a bunch of "Crilfey bafoons with wings", told us to "Go hump a milking machine", and revealed that he was not, in fact, of British decent, but in reality was a Spaniard. He then told us to "Go to ****, you ************* ******* *** ***** and your ******** too!".

LucasArts did not return requests for comment by presstime.

Well, shit. Although I'm all for a game that includes Trilby riding a Tauntaun.

Why does everybody hate MI4? Personally, I thought it was a lot better then 3. Sure, the interface was more clumsy, but I thought the jokes were funnier. That being said, I haven't played either of them in 6 years or so.

If it weren't for that last sentence, then I'd have to give another thought or two about that quote in your signature, Mr. Sublime...

i would think that shooting the idol into space would piss off the cultists, and make Trilby an eternal slave to their god somehow, which could tie in nicely with him being in a game based in the future (with the player not actualy playing as him, but being stalked by him so to speak)

anyway, other than that i would like to see a game based in the past, and to have more to do with the cult maybe, just be sure to include more shifty portal gods (one of the highlights of TN for me)
