My favorite adventure game is still The Neverhood. Claymation for the win. Just wish they had taken higher rez photos.

C'mon, give us a new game, not a "cleaned-up" version. I loved Monkey Island and played all four.

It's is a new game, read more carefully.

[citation][nom]nuclearshadow[/nom]While I do look forward to playing it. I do fear that it may not be successful. Younger gamers today seem to care more about graphics than anything so I doubt it will appeal to them. Plus piracy is going to be a big issue...[/citation]

I share your concern with how much acceptance the game will receive once it is released but at least its not a big-budget project so hopefully they make back their money without too much trouble.

With regards to piracy, I wouldn't even worry about it. Most people know that Monkey Island is quite an extinct species and I guarantee not a single person whose responded on this article's forum will pirate it simply because they want to see another iteration after it (and hence wants to contribute to its success). Most people who "love" a game typically want the official thing.

I'll be buying 5 copies of each.

I wonder if you can switch the Special Edition Monkey Island to voices off with text. It looses some of its charm with the voice in there.
