It's also because of Tim Schafer and Double Fine that things have now come full circle, with the release of Grim Fandango Remastered. This was the last game created for LucasArts by Tim Schafer, who of course went on to do many other things within the industry, including his current position as head of Double Fine Productions. Grim Fandango is among those releases, originally launching in 1998 while also having the distinction of being the first LucasArts adventure game to use 3D characters against pre-rendered backgrounds.
Games like Day of the Tentacle, Star Wars: Dark Forces, and Indiana Jones: The Fate of Atlantis are titles that are still as highly-regarded today as they were in their prime. Few gaming companies captivated PC audiences in the '90s as well as LucasArts.
