Quote:They also released Monkey Island 1 on the Sega CD.
There were also a couple of Sierra adventures for Sega CD, I'm pretty sure. And I know there are a few more on PS2. But very, very few compared to the genre on PC... it might be mostly gone now (except for a company that imports European adventure games -- in Europe the genre isn't dead. But they aren't nearly as good as good old Sierra or Lucasarts titles, I've heard...) but if you can find older ones, there are a lot of great ones out there...
Oh, Weltall. If you want Lucasarts titles, try Lucasarts' website. Sierra has discontinued all of its adventure games, I'm pretty sure, but Lucasarts still sells some in its online store. They sell one three-pack with three of LA's best: Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis! At least they do now... I'd act before they drop it... (those are DOS games, BTW, but the emulator SCUMMVM will run them flawlessly with full sound and voice.) Oh, they also sell a Monkey Island collection that includes the first three Monkey Island titles and also have MI4 and Grim Fandango. And maybe Full Throttle. A few older ones are discontinued, though -- Loom, the first Indy adventure, The Dig... still their selection is quite good, for games aging in a genre they've dropped.
As for LOTR, very, very good movies. Only Star Wars provides any competition in the fantasy/scifi arena. I really liked all three of them... and they definitely had emotional appeal.
