The Secret Of Monkey Island: Special Edition

LucasArts is really reaching back to their roots lately. In addition to revealing a visual makeover for The Secret of Monkey Island and an all-new episodic Tales of Monkey Island adventure from Telltale Games, today LucasArts has announced their catalog is now coming to Valve Software's Steam service. The games start dropping July 8.

Additionally, LucasArts has confirmed Tales of Monkey Island will debut on the PC on July 7 (the WiiWare installments are promised in the "coming weeks," which could be as soon as next week) and The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition will arrive on both Xbox Live Arcade and PC (including Steam!) on July 15.

    Republic Commando and Starfighter and they can't toss a little Maniac Mansion or Grim Fandango or Full Throttle my way? Pssh. The Dig has me excited, haven't played that since it first came out. But hey, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume their entire collection of solid titles will be there eventually. Really looking forward to some old school Jedi Knight action and Day of the Tentacle (the only truly great LucasArts game I missed out on).

    LA has said (on Twitter) that this is only the first batch of games coming to Steam, more will follow. Tentacle, Full Throttle and Grim have all been mentioned, but not KotOR (yet). They have also said that it may take some time, since these games may need tweaking/updating to get them running on XP and Vista and they only have a few people working on it.

    No Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, or KOTOR? Fail...
    At least they got The Dig on there.
