    Has anyone found the old LucasArts adventure games for download on the internet? (Full Throttle, Day of Tentacle, Grim Fandango, The Dig, etc.)

    They dont sell them in stores anymore, nor do they sell them on the LucasArts website. They should be abandonware by now.

    The only one I found so far is Sam & Max: Hit the road (cd talkie version).
    I really want Full Throttle again...

    Nope, but you made me think of King's Quest III and that stupid giant scorpion that always killed me.

    Ahh, the good old days.

    try a search for scummvm. it allows you to run these lucasart adventure on newer os / hardware without problem. comes on multiple oses, from palmos up to vista.

    fyi - i have days of tentacle (talkie version), monkey island 1, monkey island 2, and sam & max (talkie version) running on my palmos treo 650 in all their audio & visual glory. :)

    No... No they aren't. Not legally, anyway.

    But yeah, ScummVM is an excellent emulator. I've got most of them running on my phone thanks to it... :D

    They're still sold on Amazon, E-bay, etc. You might not like the prices, but you can get them.
