You can get it on the ps2 I had to look at the thread because I recognised the name
You can get ps2 consoles for about £30 preowned the discworld one two and noir are also very good though v expensive now preowned they are on the ps. I don't know anything about whats availible for a mac I'm afraid but is you find any for windows let me know

I miss Guybrush, too! A few classic adventures came out for iphone-ipod-ipad recently as well as quite a few new Monkey island adventures.

Check out the two parts of Broken Sword as well!

And Simon the Sorcerer. And from Lucas Arts for PC "The Dig".

[brightnearly]

Also, the Indiana Jones games!

That's got lots of old games. Day Of The Tentacle also a favourite here :)

[Nanny0gg]

My favourite game! Just talking about it the other day!

Discworld were really hard games though. Never got through those without the walkthrough,

YANBU, hes one of the best VG characters made. Found memories of my childhood thanks to those games.

[Nanny0gg]

Childhood?

Thanks for that link - I happen to have a PlayStation 2...

[fluffyraggies]

DH says anything done by 'Telltale' games is good.

Have you had a go at Sam & Max, OP? Very similar format to the monkey island games.

[brightnearly]

Thanks for the link, splines. It's a treasure chest and a recipe for existing on four hours sleep a night

[TerrariaMum]

Also, look on Steam. There is loads of good stuff there. If you just enjoy a bit of silliness, I found Dungeons of Dredmor to be loads of fun.

And second the mention of good old games. I was only introduced to Baldur's Gate a few years ago by DH and played it obsessively to the end when PG with DD1.

[brightnearly]

Oh yes, King's Quest is really good, too!

It took two of us nearly 6 months to get through Monkey Island 2 back in 1993, when there were no walkthroughs!

[ZakMcCracken]

My favourite was Zak McCracken and the Alien Mindbenders!

On another not- I thought I had the username 'GuybrushThreepwood' but it seems to not be there . Could MNHQ have taken it away if there's no messages posted in that name?

Nanny Im nearly 31 and remember the games, thanks to having an older brother.

Day of the tentacle was AMAZING too. Always wanted to be Elaine, what a heroine. There is a good gender balance in Monkey Island.

[ReticulatingSplines]

I love Dungeon Keeper and Theme Hospital. They haven't been repeated.

[eyebrowsfurrowed]

Oooh and theme park world

[collarsandcuffs]

I have Monkey Island APP on my Mac...loved waving my sword like a feather duster like 'in the old days'! ha!

[SofaKing]

I love Guybrush too. My niece owns a giant plaster skull called Murray .

I think Telltale did a good Wallace and Gromit puzzle game too, Grim Fandango was great and now available on Steam I think.

I had hoped Telltale games would do another Monkey Island game but with Lucasarts now part of Disney I don't know if they would license it to the studio again, but I really hope they do, I miss insult sword fighting!

[SofaKing]

Reticulating the studio that did Endless Space is developing a game called Endless Dungeon which seems to be very like Dungeon Keeper, but probably not as comic sadly. I take it you also like the Sims

[eyebrowsfurrowed]

my fav bit was sticking the chopsticks in the sushi serving mechanism so the flaming mussels melted the wax picture. What was yours?

I was just about to post that! Brilliant fun - and I managed to complete them. I did buy updated PC versions a while back, I'll have to see if they work now.

I used to like the Pharaoh and Atlantis and Emperor games too. Much of a muchness but I enjoyed building with little fighting.

[minniebar]

Loved those games. And Grim Fandango. Classics!

DH did see Monkey Island in a charity shop the other day, but I said I didn't want it because I'd just spend waaay too much time playing it.

[ZakMcCracken]

Oh- I liked GrimFandango too!

Did anyone play Sam and Max's (big adventure??)? It's really good....
