Anyway I would hop all over this if I didn't have all the Lucas arts adventure games sitting on my shelf waiting to be replayed.

It's really really fucking great that lucasarts are finally listening but the problem is the community have written emulator upon emulator now.
I can pop in my original discs and rip the files from them and play Full Throttle on my Xbox 1 and it looks damned good all smoothed out on the 50" plasma (for it's age, it's amazing) - along with a tonne of other games.
I think the iphone (broken) has a scumm emulator, DS does maybe - so many do and half of them have free 'blur' or crisp routines, better save routines etc.
I feel like buying these to support LA but I wonder if I'll ever play them what with the originals so easy to play on my shelf thanks to the community.
Boy have they missed a lot of money avoiding this for so many years.
The one thing the community never did do though, was re-do Tie Fighter and Xwing in HD, with new textures and stuff - the games are awesome and ...while it wouldn't be as small a project as upconverting an adventure game, I can imagine it would be at least somewhat simplified.
Maybe they should look at that next.

Basically, bump mapping in RC does not work on Gefore 8*** and higher or on ATI 3*** and higher. For a while, having bump mapping enabled just CTDd on an 8***+. Now it's just messed up visually, but it's still not fixed.
Interestingly, RC bump mapping works fine with a geForce 9800 when run in WINE on Linux. That would be the ideal way to play the game if there weren't issues with shadows and stencils flickering.
So anyway, here's hoping Lucasarts and or nVidia/ATI can finally get this game working with recent cards :-/

Will buy Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and The Dig this Wednesday for sure.
Hopefully the pricing is reasonable.
Only ... I hate being right all the time. I *knew* the closet thing we'd get to TIE Fighter or X-Wing initially would be a rail-shooting PREQUEL based game. Grrrrrr ...

The more people get a chance to play these games the better.
And I do hope they expand that catalog.
Wonder if they're using ScummVM like id used Dosbox for their games...
