Monkey Island appreciation thread

Anybody still have the original? Had mine on an Amiga 500. Those were the days!! Remember hitting my little preteen head in the wall for like two years before i got through, but that's just sad..

The second one was the best in the series, ive played trough that one more times than all the others combined The only thing about the 2nd one was the ending, i was like the first time i saw it.

Haha, big fan of the series. The humour is brilliant! Played them all but Part 1 and 2 the most.

Part 3 is also hilarious when he is walking in his own themepark. Haha

True. Absolutely brilliant humour!! The only one to even come close in my book has to be Sam & Max hit ze road.

If you don't love Monkey Island, then obviously you have no brains. I think it was the first adventure game I really enjoyed. The graphics, the music, the atmosphere... Actually, I liked every Lucasarts adventure game back then. I recently discovered a site where you could download all of these classic adventure games, but it's off now. But I can play Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max etc. etc. again now.

Ah those were the days... Such adventure games will never come back. Well, I've got me an original 'Runaway: the road adventure' lying around here, but I ain't gonna touch it until my mid terms are over. This is maybe the last true cool adventure game. Look at the pics here! -->

Love the Monkey Island series but the first one i played was "escape from Monkey Island" so i had to go and play the previous in the series at later time.

Brilliant humour indeed.

I really enjoyed the Broken Sword series aswell which i thought it was on par with Monkey Island, it was one of my all time favorite series but i didn't really enjoy the new version, i thought the 3D didn't do it any good, made it worse actually . If the game is going to be in 3D, at least make the graphics good.

I've played one MI, but I got stuck at the very first scene. I think it was in a hut on a ship. The guy responded to every action I wanted him to do with: "I'd rather not". At that time I didn't even know what rather meant (that's a whole lot of years ago, my English wasn't very good at that time) so I never played MI more than 20 minutes

Grim Fandango though...
I still listen to the music from GF once in a while. I just keep getting that special feeling I had when playing the game. It's my favorite game EVER!

Played DotT too, but didn't finish it. Same problem as with MI: my crappy English at that time.

Are MI and/or DotT abandonware yet? Or are they available for purchase somewere (for < €5?).

It was pretty easy to get out of that hut/cabin you know. Haha, after some steps you could have an brilliant converstation to an talking skill which is sooooo damn funny.
