All four Monkey Island games, including the remastered first two, for twelve quid?  Rude not to.

Cool.

I've still got a boxed copy of Monkey Island 2 complete with 3.5" floppy disks!

I've got 3 and 4 on CD, with discs missing from both as I did swapsies with a mate years ago and never reunited them all back together again.

Must! The Steam versions I bought won’t work without some sort of emulator.

This is probably some kind of heresy but I have never played the Monkey Island series. Now I will :). Nice PSA- cheers

If it's any consolation, the first game is an utter sod and the second more so.

They're both stone cold classics though.  Just don't expect an easy ride.

I've got 1-3 on a cd somewhere. With the first I'm pretty sure I could play it through in a couple of hours even though I've not played it for something like 26 years!

You should test that theory.  I thought the same...!

Damnit... they also have planescape torment. I LOVED that game. Very tempted.

They also have the remastered Day of the Tentacle, which is one of the greatest games ever.

Monkey Island - first played that over 20 years ago - bought it again about 8 years ago, couldn't really remember it, so didn't get very far!  I may have to fish my cds out and see which one I've got.

If it's on CDs it'll be the third or fourth one (3 and 4 discs respectively IIRC).  The first two came on floppy disks.

I am still stuck on MI2, played it and completed it when it first came out but am now stumped. I played it a few weeks ago and made some progress but I am at a standstill again!! I don't want any pointers though.

I replayed the remasters a little while ago.  I was struck by how difficult MI2 was, far harder than I remembered.

As an aside, Shadowrun Returns is available free on Humble Bundle. Worth playing if you like RPGs
