No Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, or KOTOR? Fail...
At least they got The Dig on there.

No Day Of The Tenticle or Maniac Mansion either.

LA has said (on Twitter) that this is only the first batch of games coming to Steam, more will follow. Tentacle, Full Throttle and Grim have all been mentioned, but not KotOR (yet). They have also said that it may take some time, since these games may need tweaking/updating to get them running on XP and Vista and they only have a few people working on it.

Republic Commando and Starfighter and they can't toss a little Maniac Mansion or Grim Fandango or Full Throttle my way? Pssh. The Dig has me excited, haven't played that since it first came out. But hey, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume their entire collection of solid titles will be there eventually. Really looking forward to some old school Jedi Knight action and Day of the Tentacle (the only truly great LucasArts game I missed out on).
