I would imagine that will be exactly the case. I pre-ordered and got a free episode of Sam n Max for my troubles - straight download off their site.

IIRC the pre-order is the only way to get the free episode, and the limited edition artwork box jiggy.

You can still get it normally though.

It's a digital download - that's pretty much exactly how it works

Sorry to go off topic a bit but does anyone know if the old games work on XP/Vista as I played Curse ages ago and would like to play though the first four to follow the story on to this one?

I know you can get 1 - 3 workinf in anything by using scummvm

Not sure about MI4

Monkey island 4 basicly need a new installer i.e http://quick.mixnmojo.com/escape-from-monkey-island-setup to get it running but 1-3 all run via scummvm. Only know because i installed them myself a few days ago.

This is how I have the games running on Vista 64.

Seems to work very well.

Ordered directly off their site, it had the offer still there but said valid until 6th July so doubt I got it

It is not released yet so you most likely got it. Check your receipt email, it will probably mention something about your pre-order.

Most people who have ordered stuff from TTG before say its about a fiver. TTG ARE VERY REASONABLE.

When I got the Sam and Max DVDs shipped it was about $10 each time, but the pound was pretty strong around then, so it probably wasn't far off a fiver.

When I ordered my Strongbad DVD, I got one of the bundles with figures and DVDs in with it, and that only came to $17. Which is very reasonable.

I don't recall being done by tax at all either.

Reminds me of when I had an Amiga

Bennehmaru · 8 Jul 2009 at 01:19

Yes! It's out and downloading now, being too hot to sleep is sometimes a good thing!

Substance · 8 Jul 2009 at 03:39

Damn I loved monkey island but hated the 4th, Is this more like this first 3?

If so it is a definite purchase

orderoftheflame · 8 Jul 2009 at 07:15

I think it's more like the first three.

Using the mouse to get around (although I think you can use WASD as well like in the W&G games).

Anyone got any SPOILER FREE comments?

iJedi · 8 Jul 2009 at 08:36

downloaded it this morning before work so not really had a good chance to play it, might pull a sicky later today

QPRHOOPS81 · 8 Jul 2009 at 11:12

I also pre ordered last night and downloaded this morning. It said in my email thankyou for pre ordering and gave me the free game plus mentioned the dvd special case. So if i don't get it i will be upset.

Cant wait to get home and play it. Its waiting at home ready to be installed. Its like being 12 again cant wait.
