Interesting enough, Lucasfilm Games didn't have a license to do Star Wars games until the very early 90's.
This is often cited as a good thing by former employees. If they could have done Star Wars games, things like Loom, Maniac Mansion, or Zak McKracken might never had happened.
Even later adventure games might not have happened, as it was the success of their earlier titles that made them the genre's finest creators.
