Wish I could help. My PC's power supply died so I can't get onto the HDD with my SoMI saves.bigmit3737 said:

The first one is The Secret of Monkey Island. And yeah, it's there.Fersis said:
There's a demo of Tales of Monkey Island up. You could try getting a taste of that to see if you'll like this style of game.CryptiK said:

- The Secret of Monkey Island is the first game of the series. It's been remade in HD and it's available on PSN, XBLA and PC.
- Monkey Island: LeChuck's Revenge is the second game of the series, it'll be re-released tomorrow/Wednesday on PSN/XBLA/PC.
- Curse of Monkey Island is the third game of the series, only availabe on PC, not remade (yet?) and not available through digital distribution.
- Escape from Monkey Island is the fourth game of the series, again only available on PC and it's the first 3D MI. People have mixed opinions about it.
- Tales of Monkey Island is the fifth game, it was made by Telltale Games last year instead of LucasArts, it's five episodes but it's a single game, it's available on PC, PSN and WiiWare, and it's pretty awesome.
I think I'll be able to replay the game until that part today, so I guess I'll post the save file if nobody else does.
Y'know, I don't think there are many demos of the classic adventure games. All I can find are newer demos of mediocre games.CryptiK said:
There are demos of The Longest Journey, Dreamfall and Machinarium (which are all brilliant) but I don't think they're a good indication of whether or not you'd like Monkey Island.
I guess you can try the demo for Tales of Monkey Island but that series got much better over time and the demo is only the first episode.

Wow, no Mac version at all huh? That's a shame.

Whooops, true, it looked better too!
About the demo, there was one for Curse of Monkey Island, which is a pretty decent sample of what to expect, but maybe some people will have to install ScummVM to try it. It's simple to do, though.

Insane For Sony
So much nicer looking than the first remake, which I still liked and play on Iphone from time to time Getting this on multiple platforms the moment it's up.
Getting this on multiple platforms the moment it's up.Eh, other than some loading times it was OK. I played it for some time to try out even though I finished the PC version. In fact, PC version was so buggy at some parts (crashing, some puzzles not registering etc) that I've heard PS2 version was less frustrating in the long run.Reknoc said:

The game was horrible though, especially after the radiant Curse of Monkey Island, the greatest click and point adventure ever created.

I believe the cutscenes were higher resolution, actually. I played through it back in the day.. It was fine.Reknoc said:
But considering the PS2 version is rare.. You might as well play the PC version....
I don't think they touched Monkey Kombat for the PS2 release... the techniques were all there, the final boss (sigh) was still there, and the most annoying part, the button combinations were still random each time you started a new game, so every time you reach it you have to grab pen and paper.

Would they do Day of the Tentacle without doing Maniac Mansion first? I'm not sure.
I'm pretty sure I would buy most, if not all, of the old LA adventure games. I think they'll try to port/remake all of the Monkey Island games before doing the other franchises. Maybe they'll do Sam and Max Hit the Road Remake first because Sam and Max have had downloadable episode contents.
I hope these games are selling well enough so that we'll get more remakes and more episodic contents.

Comes down to preferences. Nothing beats the keyboard and mouse for the PC version though. :lolghostmind said:

Yes please ! Maniac Mansion HD then DOTT.
I beat the first one never having played it, so I'm looking forward to it.
CMI is still my favorite.

Fuck yes cannot wait for you Monkey Island 2
For some reason there's a Mac version of SoMI:SE available on Agent Gamer or something but it's not on Steam. If I buy the MI2 Steam pre-order and get the SoMI:SE free, are both likely to have Mac versions soon?

Incase people are newcomers, they should do the preorder on steam where they get the first game along with the second. Can't wait to play this ! My favourite Monkey Island as far as I am concerned. I thought tales was decent but not that great so will be nice to come back to the classics.

This is an extraodinary adventure with an interface of magic...
... stunning, high-resolution, 3D landscapes...
... sophisticated score and musical effects.
Not to mention the detailed animation and special effects,
elegant point 'n' click control of characters, objects, andmagic voodoo spells.
BEAT THE RUSH!

cool, I can't wait
In an interview, the project lead for Monkey 1 and 2 remakes mentioned he really wants to do a Maniac Mansion remake, so maybe that's something they'll be doing next. He also specifically mentioned he really wanted a remake of Maniac Mansion where the first thing you notice is that the key for the front door is *not* under the mat, as a sign it's different and you can't use the same solutions to the puzzles.AranhaHunter said:
If they are gonna remake any of the games with talkie versions I wonder how they'll handle the speech. Do they have access to the original speech in good quality? If taken directly from the old games, the sound is gonna be in rather bad quality. And personally I wouldn't want them to do re-do the voices as all of the Lucas games with voices have really good acting.
But well, as far as I'm concerned, they might as well remake the entire LucasArts adventure catalogue!

Been playing through the first game to get ready for this one on Wednesday. One of the few games I'll be buying this summer.

Never played monkey island. Bought this with MI as a preorder bonus and the tales of monkey island for like 20 bucks. Cant beat that. Playing through the first now. Really enjoying it.
