Telltale Games

Hey, wait a second! How could you not mention the Curse of Monkey Island as one of your Lucasarts favourites? One of the things that I like about the game is that every screen, no matter how trivial, has a soundtrack dedicated to it. (I believe that this also existed in the Discworld game, in which one of my favourites is heard in a shed.) And many screens had several soundtracks as well! And one cannot forget 'A Pirate I was Meant to be.'

CMI has a good soundtrack.

I just don't think it's as good as the first two.

DevNull · 04/19/2011, 09:19 am

Loom had a pretty good soundtrack too.

GuybrushWilco · 04/19/2011, 10:07 am

CMI is my fav Monkey Island game

, and I think it has the best soundtrack too...well maybe TMI does.

You mean "Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake is a good soundtrack"?

thom-22 · 04/19/2011, 12:39 pm

I'm just guessing here, but I don't think Tchaikovsky did the arrangements for the Loom soundtrack.

MusicallyInspired · 04/19/2011, 01:06 pm

It's not like the arrangements in the game are anything more special than the original.

Lambonius · 04/19/2011, 03:43 pm

Since when does a soundtrack have to be entirely original to be good? Loom was one of the absolute best of the Lucasarts soundtracks.

MusicallyInspired · 04/19/2011, 04:29 pm

I wasn't alluding that it wasn't, just that it's no different than the original, as it seemed thom was suggesting. I think it works well.

thom-22 · 04/19/2011, 04:43 pm

That's not what I was suggesting.

It's not even 5% original. It fits the game really well, and it's great music, but it's hardly a "Lucasarts soundtrack". They literally just took bits of Swan Lake and arranged them for MIDI (almost verbatim).

Soundtrack =/= original score. No arguments that it's not original, but it's still a great soundtrack, regardless--made all the better by how well it fits the tone of the game.

If we're just talking original Lucasarts compositions, I doubt anyone will argue that the Monkey Island themes are the best of the bunch--although I also have a soft spot for The Dig soundtrack, too.

MusicallyInspired · 04/19/2011, 05:54 pm

My bad, thom.

Fitting you would, Lamb, as it was, like Monkey Island, scored by Michael Land.

Interesting. I did not know that.

Although, I can't say I'm surprised.

thom-22 · 04/19/2011, 09:13 pm

All this talk gets me thinking I wanna play Loom again soon. I'll need something to play if my Portal 2 box isn't in the mail tomorrow.

MusicallyInspired · 04/19/2011, 09:43 pm

Just finished Portal 2 tonight.....now I need to play some co-op.

galbyman · 05/01/2011, 06:07 am

I basicly want them all remade, even though I would not buy LSR. But I would really like to see Rock Star Games remake Police Quest in the style of thier upcoming LA Noir game. I think that would be freaking awesome. And maybe a Quest for Glory in the style of Fable III. But I definatly want to have another Space Quest game.

nameless · 05/09/2011, 05:00 am

space quest would be nice, but gabriel knight would be my absolute dream (and i think jane jensen and robert holmes would love to cooperate). not so sure about larry though, i think this humor will get boring quickly plus they already damaged the franchise with the last two games (besides; the rights currently belong to codemasters, not activision).
