Sam & Max Hit the Road is not #1?
Garbage list by garbage people.

I do feel dirty liking a Luke Plunkett list though
Sam and Max is better than Full Throttle. Full Throttle is overrated.
Garbage confirmed.
Indy and the Fate of Atlantis at top where it should be.
Why would you say that it's better then the first two?
Full Throttle definitely deserves a top-5 place....an awesome but albeit too short a game....which is more felt with the fact that there never was...and who knows maybe never will be a sequel to the game....died too soon! ....makes you wonder though if the HD re-master is a success, whether or not that reinvigorates the franchise for any future full throttle games...
Day of the Tentacle should be first, The Dig probably second. But in truth all Lucasarts adventures are of such a high level you could probably make a random list and it would still sound reasonable.
Indy had the awful combat bits.
Day of the tentacle is in a class way above those other games, maybe just sam and max sticks with it, but it was somewhat uneven.
I'm surprised so many people like the dig. I guess the fact that so many people do speaks for itself.
I found the atmosphere incredible.. But it was let down a little by being really fucking boring.
It's all true. The VA is spot on, and the music is the best in the series. I'm gonna have to replay it now... It's been a while.Curse of Monkey Island is my favorite point and click adventure game of all time.
It's just incredible, the voides, the music, the art, the animation, the humor.
And it's chock full of random funny stuff you could do just for laughs, stuff that has nothing to do with puzzles.
It's got so many quotable lines I'll never forget like "I've got soo much money, it's almost embarrassing" and "mm, no." and "madre de dios es el pollo diablo!".
It truly is an amazing game!
It belongs on top of the list!
True. Curse is a great game, it's just very different from its predecessors and not what I would have expected the "actual" Monkey Island 3 to be like. It probably should be considered one of the best LucasArts adventures but, personally, I will always remember the disappointment when I played back in '97, expecting it to be like SMI and MI2. Maybe I'll manage to forget that once Gilbert does the real MI3!There are two issues with curse (though only one has any bearing on its position imo):
1) The tone - it's generally far lighter then its predecessors. Dominic Armato adds to this with his portrayal of Guybrush (which really didn't work in the MI:SE's since it didn't fit the tone at all). This isn't actually a negative per se. I just don't treat Curse as a MI game and I'm happy. I think some people who don't like curse aren't able to make this seperation and their resentment ends up clouding their view of the game, which is really very good

I played MI1 and 2 first and I'd still put Curse on top. The voice acting and music and graphics added so much humor and atmosphere. I'm kind of amazed to read that people were disappointed in that game.Exactly. Monkey Island 3 didn't feel Monkey Island-ish at all. People worshipping Curse most likely started with that game before playing its predecessors. Thing is, it not even feels like a succesor of those two games, just like some neat game that per sheer coincidence has the same name. Just seeing MI3 or 4 in this list of awesomeness makes me wanna puke.

Zak McKracken needs to be far higher
Full Throttle is overrated.
I liked Loom...
14 of these 15 games are amazing. And Monkey Island 4 is really underrated as well. Here is my list btw:
No it's not, it's terrible.
