LucasArts (and technically, Lucasfilm Games before them) made surprisingly few adventure games in their heyday, but with the likes of Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman and many, many more accomplished designers at the helm, their releases were all of such tremendously high quality that they became industry leaders who helped define the genre as we know it today. Their games are still highly revered, and have gone on to inspire countless other developers either indirectly or directly.

Inspired by Joshua's recent YouTube video our latest show sees prolific Adventure Game Hotspot reviewer Johnny Nys join Jack and Joshua as they rank and compare their top 25 adventures from both LucasArts themselves and their immediate descendants like Telltale Games and Double Fine Productions. It’s Full Throttle vs. Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle vs. Indiana Jones, Monkey Island vs. Grim Fandango. Which will come out on top? Tune in to find out!

And, of course, we round things out with our top five lists. Not surprisingly, our topic is the best LucasArts-inspired adventures!
