'2000

Ahh the Memories.

Brought it when it first came out and loved it, ive played all the other games when I was at school.

...Just about to re-install it

I never completed it. Got to the last bit where Le Chuck was, with the Big Monkey! but lost the saved games

Anyone still play, or care to remember?

Has nothing on Curse of Monkey Island or Grim Fandango tbh.

You really need to play Grim Fandango.

LOL, Just installed it, Ive never tried that before!

For some reason never played it

Even tho ive got Sam & Max, all the Monkey Island Series e.t.c.

Please play it. It's simply one of a kind.

*reminds people about Psychonaunts*

Escape from Monkey Island is pretty appauling.

Ugley_Matt · 19 Apr 2007 at 22:59

Every year or so i go on a LucasArts adventure spree, Monkey Island, Day of the Tenticle, Sam and Max, Full throttle, and the quite quite superb Grim fandango

IT'S TIME FOR... MON-KEY KOOOOM-BAAAAAAAAAAAAT

chimaera · 20 Apr 2007 at 09:03

Muuuurrraaaaaay....

might have to get this installed again now you git

i never got around to completing full throttle so i could do that, or grim fandango oooooo thats a good idea.

...damn you people

Escape from Monkey Island is by far the weakest game in the series.

Whereas I've gone back and completed the others again for fun, Escape would be much lower on my list for games to replay.

DJammyRasta · 20 Apr 2007 at 09:53

escape is number 4 yes? the 3d one? the complete fun less **** one?

the first 2 are classics, the third is my favourite, i just love the jokes and the whole design of that game.. but the 4th, what a waste, 3d was so unnecessary.

i honestly think they could have made a film from the grim fandago story, truley superb, funny and entertaining, one of the games that got the balance right to make me want to play to see what happens

hard though

Funny you say that as I was reading a "quote" from Tim Burton saying that he was going to do Grim Fandango. It turned out to be lies but I don't doubt that he'd be the man to do it if anyone was.

Hello all. Currently looking for the games without much luck :rolleyes:

However in one of them "curse of monkey island" when you girlfiriend turns to a statue you meet a mysterious talking head named murray

I loved him

Does he turn up in any of the other ones

He makes an appearance in Escape from Monkey Island, though he's lost his charm tbh.
