Monkey Island!!!!!!

I've just downloaded The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition.

They don't make games like this any more. I would say it was the greatest adventure game of all time, but we all know that's Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.

Oh boy. My friends. I cried when I heard the theme music again. I cried. And the special edition is for once, exactly that. The HD graphics are stunning (as is the fact you can hot-switch to "classic" mode) and the game's as funny as ever.

[satire]At last Lucas releases a special edition people actually want![/satire]

Which brings me to my final thought. How Lucas could actually do something of worth away from the Star Wars universe. Come on Lucas, bankroll a Monkey Island movie. Come on, it would be a smash.

I also enjoy Monkey Island. The first Monkey Island game I played was Escape From Monkey Island and later The Curse of Monkey Island (I have not played the first two).

I recently downloaded Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 1 on my Wii. I think it's fun, but the constant lagging is annoying.
