COMPETITION - WIN ROGUE LEADERS: THE STORY OF LUCASARTS BOOK

ROGUE LEADERS

I miss Lucasarts, or in the early days Lucasfilm Games as they were previously known. They have released a plethora of classic video games over the decades from Rescue on Fractalus way back in 1984 to the escapades of Guybrush Threepwood in the Monkey Island point n' click adventure games powered by the SCUMM™ system.

Even though in their latter years the quality of games from the studio started to decline, they will be remembered as an important part of video game history often pushing the boundaries of the technology available at the time.

In 2008 Rob Smith released a book on Lucasarts, Rogue Leaders which takes you on a journey through Lucasarts' journey from their humble beginnings to their bigger projects involving the biggest movie franchise of all time, Star Wars.

In 1982, George Lucas started to think 'this videogame thing has potential' and established a department of Lucasfilm, which he christened Lucasarts, to develop some projects. This book is a comprehensive history of LucasArts, told through amazing concept art and interviews with its legendary games designers, including artistic treasures from its most popular and innovative videogames. This is a must for all videogame players, young and old, as well as the legions of "Star Wars" fans!

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th
