Title: Return to Monkey Island
Post by: wris on September 26, 2022, 04:32:58 pm

After many a year, ol' Cap'n Ron Gilbert an' crew have seen fit to bless us filthy landlubbers with a new Monkey Island (https://returntomonkeyisland.com/) game.

As a big fan of the series, this makes me so happy! Any point 'n' click fans in the house?

I only briefly played one of the old Monkey Island games at a friend's house as a kid. I never got into any of the LucasArts adventure games. I was more of a Sierra fan.

But I do really appreciate Ron Gilbert's place in the industry. He's one of the last bastions of the old guard, keeping the creative spirit of those old PC adventures games alive.

I never got too deeply into the Sierra games. Maybe I should. Where should one start?

I was definitely raised in a LucasArts household.

My favourite is Torin's Passage (https://www.gog.com/game/torins_passage).
