Day of the tentacle is wounderful. Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis is nice too. |

Finally a topic on this... :-D I also played all of these games and I think they are the reason that I play computer games at all.... Monkey Island was great, but MI2 was the best of it!! First I didn't like MI3, but then I was totally into it (hte map on the back is great!) Somehow I was not a friend of the 3D-grafx on MI4, so I didn't play it to the end! Day Of Tentacle was also great, especially the plot! Sam and Max was one of my favorites, mainly 'cause of the foul language ("Hey Max, this ain't a fucking gift, just a goddamn torch!) Both Indiana Jones were really great, but the first was heavily censored in Germany 'cause of all the swastikas, and the next was too hard in my point of view... (but it was pretty much fun to play!) |

i played monkey island on the old commador amiga 500 years back. that was a great game. it was such a humorous game, i loved it! |
||||||||
|

|
|
An old topic, but bringing it b\ack up to ask the same question considering there are a whole load of new people here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
...played and finished all old Indiana Joneses, old Monkey Islands & Zack and some more i don't even remember. Great games. I still have them on a CD for my children and grandchildren. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have played Maniac Mansion and DOTT to death. I've also played All the monkey island games & the dig, although not to completion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Moneky Island games are worth completeing Ceri, they are brilliant works of art, truly classics Grim Fanadango is another genious idea |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the old lucas games really kick ass! do you know the mythology behind grim fandango? is it mexican? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it is, it is mexican folklore mixed with spanish folklore I don't know if i have spelt that right |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I've played Grim Fandango a lot too. My gf had a go at me because I thought I had been playing Monkey island 2 with her best mate and not her (I'd been playing grim fandango with her mate). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My brother is an absolute Lucasarts freak. Me, I only like games where you get to blow things up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you know the name of it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No...its like the Day of the Dead, which the Mexicans have to honour the dead |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Naughty Ceri, two timing with a Lucas Arts game lol only j/k |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, she accused me of having an affair with her mate over that. Shockingly, we nearly did... There's a thread about it here somewhere. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not the sort of thing you want to 'confess to' here in black and white . . . . ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wouldn't call it black and white, more "black and off cream" ;) My gf has since apologised re: her behaviour and reaction to this incident. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmmmmm....dont let her read the topics here then! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Although not 100%, but nearly is quite an incriminating word! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't worry, she's not a huge AT fan and is unlikely to stumble across this. Besides, she knows anyway... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You are naughty, man. So, your hands "accidentally" touched when reaching for the keyboard etc.? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Like the besides bit you added to your posting.....as if you were not quite sure of yourself.....you know what I mean....like whatever!! ;) Just winding you up Ceri! :) |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cant forget Full Throttle too! I hear they are making a sequal |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yup, FT2... looks kinda good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bump Anyone looking forward to the new Sam and Max realease and there is heavy words of a new Monkey Island game coming out :D I love Lucas Arts |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I loved the Lucas Arts games catalog!!! Esp. Monkey Island... I want to play the original again some day! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it rules, you can order it and the other original 2 (MI2 and CMI) off the net for a bout £19-£25, i DEFFINATLEY recomend it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

only a few months ago i started playing Monkey Island 3 again, there's such good humour in it anyone remember the banjo-battle? you have to play the same notes as the guy you meet at the barber, the 3rd or 4th time he starts playing like there's no tomorrow, all of a sudden his banjo makes electric guitar sounds and he keeps on going on... took me quite a while till i found out i had to shoot that damn banjo of his the dialogue-battles on the pirate-ships are also funny: pirate: "you're as ugly as a monkey in a negligé" you: "do i look that much like your fiancé?" i love(d) those games |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, even the one in 3d was cool. my fav stay sam and max...really dig that unique atmosphere. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would love to see a remake of Day of The Tentacle, like Maniac Mansion 3 but with only the three characters from DOTT, because they are so brilliantly witty in themselves Grim Fandango is also a classic, and the musical score for it is amazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah played to it too that skull boy is incredible very clever concept |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm listening to the soundtrack now, there are some classic one liners in all Lucas Arts games: Hoagie: "Whoa your like...George Washington!" George: "Very much like him according to my wife Mrs. Washington" Bernard: "Well, you know what they say...if you wanna save the world you gotta push a few old ladies down the stairs" Guybrush: "I don't like to chew anything a gorilla sat on" |
||||||||

"ha. ha. ha." |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope, has been done by someone else |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I sooooooooo wanna find the discworld games, i do like Terry Pratchet :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it still was uber good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ive played the new one for PS2, Escape from Monkey Island.. it was fun, i give it 4.5 /5. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I LOVE just about all (old pixel) point and click-adventures... Some of my favourite developers: * Sierra (police quest/LSL/King's quest-series...etc) * Lucas Arts (S&M/MM/DOTT (MM2)/FT/MI-series/IJ-series/etc), * Adventuresoft (Simon the Sorcerer 1&2) But there's a lot more!... |

Bump With rumour of Monkey Island 5 on the way, and the deffinate arrivals of Sam and Max 2 and Full Throttle 2, i thoguht the baord could do with some more Lucas Arts maddness. Easily a selection of the best games ever made. I just love to play Day of the Tentacle, even though i know every thing about it. Guybrush rules :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've only played monkey 1 & 2 and DOTT All rocked, so I will check out the others |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Moneky Island 3 + 4 are great games. the Dig is pretty good, subtle wit and hard puzzles. Grim Fandango is amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I had a go at a grim demo, looks pretty cool. Obviously you couldent do much on the demo, but I got the picture anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really thought they completely arsed up everything with Monkey Island 4. It wasn't a bad game, it just took everything that made the previous 3 great and made it, well, awful. Sam & Max 2 however looks to be excellent. I canne wait. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's also a very large amateaur adventure development community. There are already some excellent (if albiet graphically challenged) games released, and some scaringly proffesional ones in development. Which is good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oo, give us some example excellent games plz |
