.. You mean Day of the Tentacle?

Monkey Island 1 and 2 would definetly be up there towards the top of my personal list of most important games. Up until the rat, all my avatars where MI themed.

edit :

Some favourites would be Monkey Island 1 & 2 (of course), Day of the Tentacle, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and the two first Simon the Sorcerors. The two first MIs are at least a head and often a shoulder above the rest, though.

Not at all (see the past few pages of old Atari and computer games for example). Hell, I still have my Pitfall Atari cartridge, the only problem is I don't know how to hook my old 2600 up to a modern TV.

Haha yes, most certainly did. Fancy getting a game and a novel mixed up, when did they ever live happily side by side? It's unfortunate I missed your MI avatars, i'm sure they would have been unexpected! Can't beat the witty dialogue of Threepwood.

Bah. Why emulate when you have the real thing?

agreed, nothing tops the real thing, especially if you get a few old friends to tag along for the trip down memory lane.

you happen to have a vcr kicking around?

otherwise you'll need some sort of converter box, or you could just get an old tv at a flea market.

My SNES and NES don't work anymore and my Genesis's library is meh.

So that's why I use emulators, I don't own a lot of games on cartridge because I rented games mostly when I was a kid.

My old consoles / computers are either gone or not working. I always got one computer hooked up to the telly and I have an old USB joystick and although it's not at all genuine, just playing emulator on the TV with joystick in hand does give it some appreciative level of authenticity.

Oh - and I'd rather play c64 games on emulator than on my old one. I would pray to all sorts of deities in the hope that the games would actually load and all of them being on casette tapes, of course I had to wait for quite a while for games to load. The emulator has the possibility of speeding up loading times.




One piece of hardware I don't really miss that much.

Yeah I do want to get a gamepad for my computer because some games are just awkward with a keyboard.

Especially SNES games.
