Ports of old games? 27 May, 2001, 01:33 / 6 comments

By Spaff


I was just sent an interesting mail that stated
The Latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly reports Full Throttle and Maniac Mansion are headed to the PS2 and possibly other consoles.
Seeing as Simon Jeffery told us there were no plans to port older games to consoles at present, if these *rumours* are true, then are they more likely to be sequels? A lot of evidence already points to Full Throttle being the sequel that LEC are working on currently - and rumours also hit us that it could be an action adventure (or that one of the new titles will be) ...... Interesting stuff huh? - it also means that if both these games are in production then there are atleast 3 non starwars titles not 2 as previously believed, as The New Stemmle Project is not a sequel.
Once again, time will reveal....

    Are you kidding me? FT was a one-off game! The possibility that a sequel made to a game which isn't supposed to have a sequel, with the original project leader gone is going to be any good at all is slim.

    LucasArts better be making a sequel to Maniac Mansion. If so, the Mansion will be rocking like it's 2999!! wohoo!!! :)

    Ahh, a MM port/sequel would be nice... but not my console of preferance >_< (although it says possibly others...) I would probably buy a PS2 *just* to play an MM sequel if I had to x_X
