Amateur games historian Eon Fafnir posted a clip of this 1990 local news story about LucasArts (then still known as LucasFilm Games) yesterday, and while it’s fascinating getting a look behind the scenes of the studio during some its golden years, Monkey Island fans can squint and see some stuff that never made the finished game.

Computer entertainment, believe it or not!
While soaking up the nostalgia, though, game designer Marius Winter (currently working on the very cool Say No!

Not exactly a ground-breaking piece of new information, but this game came out in 1990, so it’s cool seeing new stuff for it thirty years later.
