Sadly I don't think 30 years on it will pull me in like the original game did, while the new Monkey Island game might.

Now heres a name I haven't heard in a long, long time.

Yep, I found this game so hard. I remember having major tantrums and keyboard smashing on this one

So how long until they remake Twin World seeing as so many games of this era seem to be being remade heh.

Rroff I'm all in for a Twin World remake as I used to play that game a lot on my Amiga 500 as a kid

You may be thinking of the discworld games.

You're right.... both magician point and click games that I've not played in a long time.

Simon was voiced by Chris Barrie, not Eric Idle.

D'oh!

The first one was ace. Had the talkie version with the crap one of red dwarf as a kid.

That bloke who lives in the house making the soup is hilarious and in the second game (which is crap) he is the manager of the restaurant. Haha

You cannot have an intelligent conversation with an inanimate object.

The news about Monkey was amazing, and the fact that Dominic Armato is back and Ron Gilbert is at the helm, genuinely cannot wait.

I also liked Simon, not quite on the same level as Monkey Island, yet still a great game at it's time, I remember the audio being especially well done. I really hope Chris Barrie will be back as I'm not sure it would work for me with anyone else, his voice is so distinctive.

DoTT next anyone? Haha.

If you've not played it yet the dott remaster from a few years back is really solid. Its really just a fresh can of paint over the whole game, but looks good and it holds up

I want them to make a visual 3d version of Jacaranda Jim.
