Now this is spooky.. I just finished Escape from Monkey Island[TM] over a minute ago and now you're posting about it..
I'm still waiting for part 5 in the series.. Guybrush mentioned in one of the games that he has a 5 game contract.. so.. where is it??_o_

Ugh you managed to finish the Escape with it's bad puzzles and it's bad quality? Seriously, go play MI1/2/3 (3 was my favorite) if you're looking for good Monkey Island game :P.

You're as repulsive as a monkey in a negligee.

A true Monkey Island[TM] fan also plays the lesser games :P and yes, I've finished the first 3 also.. Part 1 is still my favorite. I didn't like the cartoonstyle from the 3rd game where Guybrush looked like Bernard from DotT. There are allot of 'old friends' in part 4 which I really enjoyed in the game.

I started out with the Curse so I was never annoyed by Guybrush's looks cause I didnt know any better :). MI3 made me realise how awesome adventures could be and I considered it my favorite MI game :)

If you like the Monkey Island [TM] series you should also check out the Simon the Sorcerer games part 1 and 2 (DON'T touch the 3D version!!). It has the same feel and humor.. And both of them can be played with voice add-on.. Simon is one rude motherf@cker :D

It's nigh on impossible to find a legal copy anyway I think :P Some great games (http://www.scummvm.org/downloads.php#extras) have also been released as AbandonWare, so legally downloadable. "Beneath a Steel Sky" is also absolutely great :)

I completed MI1/2, Simon 1 and Indy 4 on my Windows Mobile phone :)
