Ahoy, my ship has arrived

I've finished my Monkey Island Adventure! I just finished the first episode of the Telltale Monkey Island series, Launch of the Screaming Narwhal. This comes after working through the first four games in the series over the past couple weeks.

There were highs (Curse of Monkey Island) and lows (Escape from Monkey Island) but all in all, what a great series. And Telltale has done a great job on the new game. Making a balanced adventure game with puzzles that are solvable but not too easy is very hard...as I can attest to from the other games, none of which get it right. So I'm happy to report I didn't have to cheat or use the hints on the latest game, something I had to do on all the others (and wanted to do on Escape so it would just end faster...).

Anyway, time to get some food and ponder what to play next, which will likely be an attempt to finish up Final Fantasy XII. It's so nice to finish games for a change. Thank you World of Warcraft hiatus. :)

Did you play the original Secret of Monkey Island, or the remake?

I suspect the remake will appeal more to a modern gamer (Updated graphics, VO, etc)

I played the original VGA one. I bought it before the new one was announced. I had no problems with it, ScummVM with HQ3x mode is a wonderful thing.
