LucasArts’ Brooks Brown has told WAToday that more of the company’s point-and-click adventures are likely to follow the 360 and PC remake of Monkey Island if it’s a hit.

“If this sells, there’s no one at this company who doesn’t want to do these games,” he said.

“It’s a matter of showing that there’s interest and this market is alive and get people as excited as possible about Monkey Island Special Edition to show that these things can make it.”

The new version is essentially the original with HD graphics and remastered music, said Brown. It’s out this summer.

Lots more through there.
