LucasArts and Steam -
In an effort to bring a new generation of gamers to old titles while inciting the nostalgic-proned to, yet again, relive the past, LucasArts has partnered (PDF) with Valve Coporation to bring "classic games" via Valve's digital distribution service Steam. Through press releases, LucasArts stated that they intend to observe public reaction to the re-releases of certain games and make available more of their back catalog with regards to fan support. Perhaps more games from the Dark Forces and Jedi Knight era will be up for grabs around the corner, hopefully sorting out software and hardware compatibility issues as well.
