Same goes for most of the games from Lucasarts. Have a look at the other links, and you'll notice that they're all out of print, so I don't think they should be removed, otherwise there's no point in having a Lucasarts section --[[User:Md5|Md5]] 12:11, 27 November 2007 (CET)

Out-of-Print Games

Should the Amazon links with the LucasArts Archive Packs 1 & 3 and the LucasArts Classic Adventures remain? They are out-of-print and do not really fit in with the page, compared to the CDAccess ones which have stocked up on them. -Clone2727 12:03, 27 November 2007 (CET)
