LucasArts emailed us today to tell us more about Thrillville, their upcoming theme park sim. I've never been a rollercoaster enthusiast particularly, but this bit caught my eye:
Even better, the team has hit the LucasArts vaults to uncover classic original music from past releases to complement themed areas in the game.[...] "And the use of each piece fits contextually in that 'Disneyland' way Jesse was referring to. For example, you might hear the theme from Escape From Monkey Island in the Pirateville area, music from Gladius in our fantasy area called Ogreville, and the Secret Weapons Over Normandy score in 'Luftwaffe,' a World War II-themed forward-scrolling shooter minigame."
[...] "You'll also hear some Grim Fandango, Outlaws, Sam & Max and more,"
I thought my fellow LucasArts aficionados would appreciate this. Self-reference is such a time-honored part of Lucas games that it in or itself has become self-referential. How meta!
