Dusting this thing off
Holy crap…it’s dusty in here. What happened to this place? I leave for…ummm…for a long time I suppose, and look at this place. Well, i’m dusting it off because I have just been knocked back to my childhood a little and I wanted to talk about it.
While I was browsing through the xBox 360 marketplace (well not really, it was on the opening screen) I found out that The Secret of Monkey Island, one of my all time favorite LucasArts games, is available on xBox Live Arcade! How cool is that?
I downloaded it about 5 hours ago, and have made it about 20% through the game so far. They have adjusted the graphics, making it look slightly more modern than the original version, but the gameplay is the same, and the jokes still make me chuckle and groan in equal amounts.
The Secret of Monkey Island is available on XBox 360 and on Steam, it may be available elsewhere as well, but I haven’t looked into it much. If you never played the game when it was first released, you may not enjoy it the way I am, but it is worth checking out either way.

I'm seriously looking forward to going through Monkey Island finally.
Rumor has it Telltale Games might have gotten the rights to either remake or do a sequel to Day of the Tentacle also! Now that's MY favorite LucasArts game of the point and click era.
Truly everything Tim Schafer touches turn to gold. Gold like $$$.
I am almost through Monkey Island now. Day of the Tentacle would be amazing! I haven't played that game in forever.
With the remakes of Sam & Max, and now Monkey Island, I would say it is only a matter of time.
A remake of Full Throttle would also be great.
