Must buy points!

It will probably be my 4th play through, but hey, it's such a good game.

My Mum's parrot is called Guy....after Guybrush Threepwood (she doesn't realise this though, I just suggested it!) :P

Can you get this for macs or just PC?????

Intel Macs running Windows, sure...

Can't wait for this. Was a wee bit worried that the interface wouldn't translate very well to an Xbox pad but Sam n' Max lifted that fear so I'm definitely getting the XBLA version. Couch, cup of tea, Monkey Island on a big screen. Bliss.

I've never actually played this game, so i'm definately going to download this.

You're in for a treat!

Gonna bring back so many memories for me, sitting at my Amiga until the early hours, writing down the swordplay insults with wee arrows connecting them...

Oh aye.

Gonna get this on release for the PC. Reccommended to all my friends that have never played this also. Cannot wait!

Yes! Can't wait to hear the updated orcastra score and the voiceovers are gonna be great.

I only hope they do the same for ML2 which, imo, is vastly superiour to the first.

I also like the way you can switch between the HD version and the original blocky version in the same way as with R-Type.

Roll on next week.

Oh man, i did the same thing, those were the days, before everyone had instant access to tips and cheats online.

I used to spend hours mapping levels on 'eye of the beholder' on graph paper, it was all part of the gaming experience, it's all too easy nowadays.

Anyhow, can't wait for this, it's exactly the kind of old game that benefits from an update, bring it :D on
