I have 4, and used to have 1, and miss it greatly. I WANT 1ONEONEONE!!!

4 is still funny though. I may have to try and get the whole series somehow.

4 is by far the worst of all of them, but, yes, it's still funny

The Monkey Island series is second only to the No One Lives Forever series in the comedy department. Third would be the Serious Sam series.

hehehe

While we're talking about Lucas Arts games I think Grim Fandango deserves a mention, that was my favourite of all, closesly followed by Sam & Max.

Grim Fandango was a masterpiece, and don't forget Day of the Tentacle. I'm sure half of these are abandonware or something now, and I think Beneath A Steel Sky is on the PC Gamer coverdisk with the SCUMM emulator. Well worth a look, even though it's about ten years old.

Good call. Get ScummVM and you can play loads of the old point and click games without having to mess about with DOS, provided you have the original games of course. :wink:

I played the demo of that that came with my Dark horses CD. It rocked.

Full Throttle was good, nice animation sequences if I recall. I really liked The Dig, despite all it's sci-fi cliches.

I had all these games on floppy, then I got them again on CD :D Sam & Max is my favourite computer game, but Murray is probably the second best character in computer gaming history.

"Murray, how did you get up there?"
"THROUGH SHEER horse OF WILL!"
"Nyaha..."
"No, actually, some pesky little Voodoo kids fished me out and stuck me up here."

*wanders off to reinstall*
