Lucasfilm strikes back.

January 27:
It's been a long weekend for Star Wars™ fans among us. Today marks the return of Lucasfilm on GOG.com: WAVE II, with the final batch of three Star Wars™ titles:

A 20% launch discount awaits those who join the fight against the dark side in the next 72-hours with three new releases:
Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
<i>Star Wars&trade;</i> Republic Commando
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Starfighter&trade;

As the Wave II timer ticks down to a zero for the last time, one of the most exciting weeks in the history of GOG.com comes to a close. We couldn't be happier with the series of amazing titles we added to our catalog this week, and we're proud to have teamed up with ©Disney Interactive to finally restore six iconic Star Wars™ games back into the hands of gamers exclusively on GOG.com.

January 22:
The time is now! Lucasfilm strikes back with three more Star Wars™ classics available now on GOG.com! This means the exclusive GOG.com digital premiere of two more spacefaring titles:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Rogue Squadron - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Rebellion - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!

<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Empire at War: Gold Pack is now also available for purchase, DRM-free with a 72-hour, 20% launch discount!

The timer is still ticking, so stay tuned for one more reveal from ©Disney Interactive and GOG.com!

January 20:
A long time ago in a galaxy near you, ©Disney Interactive and <B>GOG.com</B> teamed up to bring you the holy grail of classic gaming: six Lucasfilm cult-classics were added to our DRM-free catalog, including three titles which saw their digital premiere on GOG.com. We also made a promise to bring you many more cult-classics in the future and, believe us, we did not forget.

Today, with great pride and joy, we're excited to announce Wave II of Lucasfilm games on GOG.com! Starting right now, six new Star Wars™ classics are available in our DRM-free Lucasfilm/Disney catalog. This includes three amazing titles available, for the first time in digital distribution, exclusively on GOG.com:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing Alliance&trade; - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Galactic Battlegrounds Saga - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!

We're also celebrating the DRM-free release of these Star Wars™ games with a 72-hour 20% launch discount:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Battlefront&trade; II
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Dark Forces
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Knights of the Old Republic&trade; II: The Sith Lords&trade;

Just in case you missed your chance last time, you can grab three more Lucasfilm classics for the same 20% discount, until Friday, January 30, at 1:59 PM GMT!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Knights of the Old Republic&trade;
Indiana Jones&reg; and the Fate of Atlantis&trade;
The Secret of Monkey Island&trade;: Special Edition

Our Lucasfilm/Disney is made that much more impressive today thanks to our team-up with ©Disney Interactive. The 6 new Star Wars™ releases, which include 3 digital premieres exclusively on GOG.com, are barely the beginning. We're not saying more right now, but we know the wait will be worth it for six great reasons - keep watching the front page and stay tuned for more exciting Lucasfilm titles releasing on GOG.com when the timer strikes zero!

Can't help but feel real disappointment. No Adventure Games? We've known for a long time about the Grim remake. Lucasarts/Lucasfilm swept Classic Adventure Fans under the carpet once. Getting that Ground-hog Day feeling.

Not sure whether Disney knows what LAEC was actually good at and for. ;)

But, hey, Grim Fandango. ;) ;)

For GOG's sake I hope there will be many more LucasArts titles, for my sake I hope they will release Day of the Tentacle, Maniac Mansion and a rest of Monkey Islands and then be done with it and move on :D.

It means an impressive achievement, though. GOG picked a handful of titles I ever cared about from the vast catalog and placed it in first 2 waves. :)

Jedi Knight... finally... my childhood :3

I, as many others, think Jedi Academy is superior in terms of gameplay. But I'm glad they put up JK+MotS first. Such a classic!

Oh come on... More SW titles and no adventures?

Yeah, I was hoping to see Outlaws.

Grargar: But it was one wave...
... in 3 doses.
The correct name of today's releases is "Lucasfilm on GOG.com: Wave II: Star Wars™: Episode III: Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, Star Wars™ Republic Commando and Star Wars™ Starfighter™"

To be honest: I was also waiting for Rebel Assault I and II. Admittedly, they are both really dated, but especially Rebel Assault I is a true classic that (besides of the "7th Guest", which was kind of lame for hardcore gamers) pushed the sales of the first DVD ROM drives in 1993. I own the original from 1993 and still have it in my shelf, however, having an undestroyable digital copy for 1.99-3.99 would have been an instant buy (at least for RA I).
And where is the second true classic "Day of the Tentacle"? I am also missing The Dig, Outlaws and Full Throttle.

I also hope that this was not the last LucasArts wave...

BTW: I would also hope getting C64 and more Amiga emulated titles in the future too, speaking of the great "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (because of better-than-DOS-quality on Amiga) as well as "Maniac Mansion" and "Zak" (besides of a "real" retro/nostalgic pack of Ballblazer, The Eidolon and Rescue on Fractalus).
Of course, thinking of ScummVM, Vice and WinUAE, you can already play them when you have the disks or images, but like all the preconfigured DOSbox game packages here at GOG.com, it´s so much more comfortable to just press "install" and "run" to get them working, just like "insert" and "play" on consoles.

Don't be holding your breath over Amiga versions. The only cerain ones are the Cinemaware releases.

Thank you so much GOG ... I missed playing Rebellion for so long ... I still have the original disc from when it was it first released, plus the manual and even the poster that came with it but was never able to get it to run quite right on win 7 ... you must have some real geniuses working over there ... I was a little worried that my memory was deceiving me and it wasn't really as good as I remember ... but it really is and I'm in love with it all over again ... you guys are the best

Very happy for the Star Wars fans, but...
does this conclude the Star Wars avalanche and leave space for other, more legendary LucasArts titles?
Posted January 27, 2015
Thanks GOG for another bunch of SW games:)

It`s great to see some of these Star wars games DRM free which I will very soon purchase pretty much ALL of them .

It seems to me that Disney are `cleaning out the attic` of all old StarWars stuff they didn`t make and GOG got there at the right time to snap it up.

However, I think all this will stop with any new Disney releases. I`ll bet all new releases from Disney will be heavily DRMed in one way or another. I`ll lay money on it.

This is probably as good as it gets with Star Wars for the forseeable future, I`m afraid.
