To really miss Guybrush Threepwood?

[JennySense]

and wish there more adventure games out there that are fun and witty [and available on the mac?]
Any MN got some to recommend to me?

The library on Phatt Island is really funny as well, I spent quite some time getting lots of books out, among them "Why x never marks the spot" by a certain I. Jones!

Star Buccaneers!
I have got "Secret of Monkey Island" for the Mac - I had some gameplay problems, but might give it another go...

Beasts & Bumpkins, absolutely hilarious stuff!

Had that one too

Couldn't play when small DCs were about...

My very first game when we bought a PC was Hook. unbelievably simple now.

I had the Indiana Jones games, but weren't they the ones with a really annoying part where you had to steer a hot air balloon or something to land? I always had to get my DH to do that part.

Guess who just downloaded Theme Park to play this evening...

amanita-design.net/games.html - one of my favorite game designers :)

Can't remember who asked, but in Theme Hospital you were given an empty building and had to build a reception, GP surgeries, clinics, a pharmacy and keep your hospital staffed without running out of money. You had to cure a certain number of patients. The diseases were weird and wacky like Slack Tongue, Bloaty Head, King Complex (patient thought they were Elvis).

It was quite manic. Not as funny as Dungeon Keeper though, which was very dark and got difficult fairly quickly.

Simon the Sorcerer also had some jokes that only adults would get. I came to Monkey Island a bit late in the day and remember it being funny but a little less adult.

I'm 27, by the way.

For the dungeon Keeper fans, there's currently a game being made called war for the overworld, which is an homage to the originals. I've just checked the website and the full game should be out sometime this year. The beta is already available on Steam if you preorder the game.

Cant believe someone mentioned Beasts and Bumpkins! Thought I was the only person alive who had that game! I still play it now from time to time - 'fancy a bit of nookie?'

Monkey Island is brilliant - the second one is the hardest. Sometimes I get the urge and play the games.

They should have made Monkey Island into a film, a much better storyline than pirates of the caribbean (even if Monkey Island is based on the pirates theme ride).

Was there a game called Knights and Merchants? I think I had a demo version.

I'm just downloading the games for a tenner. They've been "re-mastered" now. Just nicer graphics and new voices, but you can switch to classic mode if you want.

I wish somebody would put out a stable version of Grim Fandango.

How do you play it iammrsnesbitt I can't get it to run on my PC :(

I'm sure no one playing Theme Hospital ever heard...

Hospital Administrator is cheating! A cheat is running the hospital!

I'm just getting rid of of stuff from my Macbook to improve its running free up more space to download games

You need to change your computer settings to compatiblity mode for windows 95 juneybean. Cant remember how to do it exactly but if you google you'll find instructions.

It really is the most awesome game!

'fancy a bit of rough and tumble?'
'ooooh yes please'
'wahey!'

I didn't RTFT, but just thought I'd drop this in:
Recently, Tim Schafer (the guy behind Monkey Island!) and his company got the funding on Kickstarter to make a new point'n'click adventure in the same vein. It's called Broken Age, and I'm pretty sure it's available on most of the things you can play stuff on

Not sure when it's out, I think backers got their copies a few weeks ago so shouldn't be long!

28 January, I think.

It looks quite fun, but apparently there isn't enough opportunity to interact with the backgrounds and surrounding objects

Beasts and bumpkins rocks!

I still have that, it is a nightmare getting it to run but lovely dh is good with compatibility mode issues and usually gets it to work for me.

Must play it again, 'Fancy a bit of rough and tumble?' Lol.

The day I completed Beasts and Bumpkins was a proud proud day for me. Its such a hard game I felt like a hardcore gamer . Monkey Island is tough but B&B even more so.

Loved how all the men looked like west country farmers and the women were buxom wenches.

Murray the demonic skull from MI is an absolute legend btw. Funniest sidekick ever.

Ohh I've never completed it, I played it last year by installing a partition or something but cannot remember what level I got to, I kept dying of disease!

OMG was totally addicted to those games, takes me back............

Bump to say guess what Google Play Store had in today?

Dungeon Keeper - and it's free

Thanks for the tip Martin
I'm just nearing the end of "Broken Sword."
