Return to Monkey Island

The Secret of Monkey Island was the first PC game I bought way back in the 90s, pretty cool that more than 30 years later I'm walking around Melee Island again in a new Monkey Island game. The game start in Big Whoop was a bit weird, but I'm liking the game now I'm deeper in, currently in Part II. Good to see the art style has improved from the lows of Escape and Tales.

I played as usual The 4th coming, one of the first MMORPG. Was playing this back on GOA when I was a teenager. this game is all about consistency and making friends to play with.
You can get it on Steam right now and I play on Neerya which is a french server.

I also launched again Daedalus Encounter which is a real oldie game. and Last express game also on windows 95.

Breezed through Sam & Max Hit the Road.

I earlier said it'll be interesting to see does the game still hold up and the answer to that is resounding yes! I loved the game back then I still do today, Sam and Max as characters are awesome and the banter between them is just fantastic. I had a blast playing the game, got a few good laughs out of me too.

The 10+ years it's been since my last playthrough didn't slow me down much, most of the time I either knew what to do or subconsciously autopiloted forward, couple times I got stuck for a moment but figured it out soon enough.

Really have only two nitpicks: I prefer the old choose your command UI style to the cycle through them with right mouse button which is a bit slower than the old style, and also the story gets a bit too silly.

There is also one puzzle that's a bit too specific for my liking, there would have been a way faster and easier way to solve it than the oddly random solution the game wants. Otherwise the game gets a solid 5/5 by me.

Highly recommended to everyone with anarchic sense of humour!

Sam and Max after walking off screen:
- Max: "Look at all the cheese!"
- Sam: "I didn't think they could do that"
