Pook - MemberDid we find out what eskay was stuck on?
The spitting competition!
Please don't tell me how to do it though. My problem is that I only get time to play it on holidays/weekends away etc. I finished it about 20 years ago (maybe more) but my memory is letting me down (an age thing!!).
Do you want a nudge? (I can't tell you exactly, I only half remember myself)
Hmmmmm.. It is tempting but that is cheating isn't it..?!
No - I will be strong. I'll come back on this thread if I get a moment of weakness!
how are you running monkey island on your tablet? I can't see it to download from the app store or am I missing some wizardry?

Ah that explains it. Thanks

ooh i remember this one. 😆
Graham, on android download scummvm then find the game files online and copy to device. Don't know about Apple though.
the iso zone
Yep, I remember how to win the spitting contest. The order of rocks in the 'rock chute' puzzle would challenge me though.
Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders anyone?

I know it's not quite the same - but Portal 2 takes a a lot of queues from it's forebears as regarding humour, detail and ephemera - I enjoyed it a lot.

Oh and if that takes up too much space, you might want to look at the new 314GB Western Digital PiDrive:

In other news, fans of this kind of thing will greatly enjoy the rather dark episodic game I'm playing at the moment: "The Last Door"

If you like Lovecraft horror and point-and-clicks then you'll love it.
The thread title jumped out! Monkey Island!!!!
Wow, folk are talking about their favourite 13th Floor Elevators tracks!
Looking for Grim Fandango on tablets for £4 with a bunch of other titles? Look no further.

Did anyone else get Day Of The Tentacle today ?
I had a quick play this morning before work got in the way of having fun.
More or less the same offer on, er, offer again.

I fondly remember getting completely stuck on Full Throttle walking to the nearest phone box with a load of change, notepad and pen to ring a walk-through line. This came about through fear of serious reprimands from the Mother. Years earlier I got stuck on Treasure Island Dizzy and spent an hour on the house phone listening to a walk-through. Parents went apoplectic when they got the bill 😆
Loved the Lucas Arts games. Think they've been mentioned, but Machinarium and Samarost are worth a go.
Any of these games available on iPad? Just started a new topic and then saw this....
Eskay, still stuck?
There's an imminent Full Throttle remaster.
Hmm, Humble Bundle site down so it appears 🙁 Quite fancy a couple of random games to escape into over Xmas.

"not with my bunnies" one of the best lines in any adventure game 🙂

Mate, I remember doing the same when stuck on one of the Zork games. They were bloody challenging BITD, as were most Infocom classics. The answer involved a rose IIRC.

You know you want to, it's Christmas.
Humble bundle this month is Sierra Inc police quest and king's quest.
Yup. (I posted the link on here a couple of days back.)
Day of the Tentacle (remastered) is currently free on PSN, I'm reliably informed.
Yes it is.
Finished it in a few hours. 😕
Show-off. (-:
You must have a good memory. It took me a few days playing at lunchtimes to finish it, though I only really remembered bits here and there. It's a solid game, reckon it'd have taken a lot longer without prior knowledge.
Currently playing Monkey Island on the Xbox. It's far harder than I remember, and I don't really remember any of the puzzles at all. I wonder if I never actually completed it back in the day? I thought I had but perhaps not.
Roll on a remaster of Sam & Max...!

I am still plugging away at MI 2
Bizarrely I remembered loads the bits I didn't the clues I understood more. Not replayed MI3 yet but I did finish it on the Amiga.

Yeah, I've been watching that. Need to finish Thimbleweed Park first though.
