The adventure games at the core of this collection are well worth the price of admission. First, there's Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, a classic with good voice acting, terrific style, and a compelling story line that can play out in several ways. This was one of the first games to give players the choice of either fighting or thinking their way through puzzles, and we played it through three times before moving on to the other CD-ROMs in this collection.
The other titles certainly didn't disappoint. Sam and Max Hit the Road lets players guide Sam (a detective dog) and Max (his rabbit sidekick) through a series of twisted adventures. Don't let the talking-animal theme fool you--this is a cartoon for adults with plenty of over-the-top humor and some tricky puzzles.
Maniac Mansion 2: Day of the Tentacle is another hilarious game, pitting three goofball characters against a mad purple tentacle bent on world domination. A time machine mishap leaves one character in the present, while one is whisked back to the past and the other is sent into the future. All three must work together, solving puzzles that will affect the characters in other time periods and let them progress. You can even access the original version of Maniac Mansion, an entertaining adventure in its own right, by using a computer terminal in this game.
Don't miss out on this incredible gaming bargain. --T. Byrl Baker

Customer Reviews of Lucas Archives Volume 1
dott, sam and max These games are great. From my understanding, all three of them are talkies (I played Indiana and DOTT before the cd release that included voices.)Why do I like them so much? The humor that goes along with the fun adventure. These games are a lot like the monkey island series and grim fandgo albiet the graphics are much poorer. It is unfortunate that Amazon no longer carries this available archive series from lucasarts.
classic nostalgia
I never did get the chance to play Sam and Max, but Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and Day of the Tentacle are nostalgic trips for me. The gameplay is fun and awesome, and each has superb voice acting and sound effects. Day of the Tentacle is more of a silly comedy adventure, while Fate of Atlantis was worthy of becoming the next Indy movie (when did they say it was supposed to enter production?). Absolutely awesome stuff, you can't go wrong here, plus it's family friendly, the whole family no matter what your age can enjoy these games.
Well, I have only played one of the games
I have only played one of these games that I bought in a single pack: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.
It is possibly the greatest game I have played.
