Following the surprise E3 announcement that LucasArts was spearheading two new campaigns to revive point and click adventure franchise Monkey Island, the company has also just announced that they will be partnering with Valve’s digital download service Steam to make available a number of its classic (and more recent) adventures.

The campaign will begin Wednesday July 8th with ten games, including three Star Wars titles: Battlefront II, Republic Commando and Starfighter, three Indy Jones games: Fate of Atlantis, Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure and the original Lego Indiana Jones, two classic CD-ROM era adventures, LOOM and The Dig, as well as Thrillville: Off the Rails, and — my pick of the litter — cult 3D shooter Armed and Dangerous, still the finest and funniest work Planet Moon has done since its Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

The company says further announcements about future titles will be made via its Twitter feed.
