Anyone play this series? If you haven't, do it. It's my favorite game and has been since the first one came out!

were you even born then?

Probably not, but hey. Who can't appreciate an 18 year old that plays really oldschool games? ;D

Finish number 1 ( the best 1 ) and number 2 got to the end of number 3 but never found out what to do to finish it.

Where did you get stuck? I bet it was Blood Island, that place killed me until I figured it out.

The fourth one was abit of a letdown because of the WASD playstyle and the story wasn't as good as the other 3. And the replacement for swordfighting... horrible.

As a fan of adventure games in general, I had to drop in and show some support for a great series. I think they originally had planned to make 5 games (the Voodoo Lady mentions an unbreakable five-game contract she's in), but considering the popularity of adventure games at the moment, it seems sadly unlikely. ;_;

Developers at LucasArts said there will be a fifth, but it's not been planned so far. That was said years ago though.. Who knows?

Look what I've been playing recently!



I love the way ScummVM smooths out all the blocky pixels.

Aw man, Full Throttle... ace game And yes, ScummMV is an excellent emulator.

ahhhh... what a joy it was to see this thread! And the fact that someone has discovered it since its release just makes u even more awesome for liking it! Even just the opening of monkey island 1 (safely on the hard-disc of my amiga 600!) evokes such a deep nostalgic feeling in me It's hard to describe! The jangly reggae tunes, the pin-point lights of melee island and the pirates by the campfire... what memories... what a game!
In total agreement about the succeeding games being hard as hell! With the exception of 4 (if that was the 3d one) which was easy. Monkey 2, however, I ended up playing with a walkthrough that, at the time, was cut out of something like 'amiga action' ...lol...

Im still looking for a non-torrent source of the talkie version of Day of the Tentacle if anyone can help- U can find the non-speech version all over the net but i cant find the 100mb voice file anywhere

full throttle also a great game... all hail scummVM and dosbox! (let alone MAME32, Project64, ZSNES, Fusion etc etc!!!)
I just looove my old school and emu games!
