LucasArts

Lucasfilm Games, formerly known as LucasArts (1990–2021), is the video game licensing division of Lucasfilm, operating under the Disney Games Group of The Walt Disney Company. It was previously a video game developer and publisher. Founded by George Lucas in May 1982 as Lucasfilm's video game development division, it was renamed LucasArts following a corporate reorganization in 1990. The studio became known for its adventure games developed using the SCUMM engine, including Maniac Mansion, the Monkey Island series, and several Indiana Jones titles. Notable developers associated with the studio included Brian Moriarty, Tim Schafer, Ron Gilbert, and Dave Grossman. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, LucasArts increasingly focused on action-oriented games based on the Star Wars franchise, gradually moving away from adventure games as interest in the genre declined.
