    • I play the series every five years or so - give it just enough time to forget all the solutions. The theme tune to Secret of.. as a constant ohrwurmNairn
    • *IS a constant ohrwurm. It's probably in my top 20 tunes of all-time :)Nairn
    • Any other recommendations beside the LucasArts Games?a_aachen
    • yep, a classic gamehans_glib
    • @a_aachen - I'm afraid not - I'm not actually a huge fan of point and click adventures, other than Monkey Island!Nairn
    • You might want to check this out - a semi-recent release from Ron Gilbert: https://thimbleweedp…Nairn
    • Leisure Suit LarryBluejam
    • That doesn't even look like Monkey Island to me...I only remember this version

    • I used to love Full Throttle. Neverhood was incredible too.scruffics
    • The very first one (pixelated DOS version yuekit posted) was the best. I hated the cartoony look of the later ones.NBQ00
    • Yea, Neverhood, SkullMonkeys and the latest Armikrog. You might like thosefuturefood
    • Just wait til you guys see the graphics in 'Escape from monkey Island'Nairn
    • remember completing this as a kid (the dos version) and wishing i could wipe my memory so i could play it again...kingsteven
    • same with 'day of the tentacle' - played it again recently and remembered every puzzle (from 25 years before :-| ).kingsteven
    • Ron Gilbert, the creator of the series, only worked on the first two Monkey Island games, which are my favourites.Milan
    • thanks guys I will check this out (maybe not Larry – I am playing this with my kids!)

      @kingsteven lucky me – I didn´t remember anything from 20 years ago!      a_aachen
    • Awesome game. I bought the whole package a while ago on Steam. Didnt have time. Glad you posted.Beeswax
    • Toonstruck was, I am pretty sure, the name of the other quest/point and click-type game I used to absolutely love. Anyone remember that?scruffics
    • Space Quest?duckseason
    • heh, not that it wasn't already cheap, but there's 50% off Curse of.. on gog.com: https://www.gog.com/…Nairn
    • anyone try Thimbleweed Park? Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick game from 2017!?kingsteven
    • Yes, I've finished Thimbleweed Park. It's pretty funny and has great pixel art, but the story is kinda weird. It's not at the same level as Monkey Island 1 & 2.Milan
