LucasArts / Disney Coming to GOG
I’m going to try this question here to anyone who bought the special edition of Monkey Island either from Gog or Steam.
Has anyone tried this patch?
It allows you to play the CD-ROM version of The Secret of Monkey Island with voices and the old graphics through ScummVM?
I haven’t got a chance to try it out (I only have the Steam version) but it seems like the perfect solution to people who prefer the older graphics.
I have, on Steam and the GOG version. It works absolutely great!
Awesome, I am going to try it out soon. I am looking forward to replaying all the Monkey Islands when they release Escape from Monkey Island and all the Sam and Maxes. I am even looking forward to the the Telltale ones, since I only ever played them once, especially the Sam and Max episode with all the old computers. That one was great.

The Telltale games are already at gog, all the Sam and Max games are there already. I agree that Curse and Escape from Monkey Island need to get there soon.
I’m also hoping the whole Monkey Island series will be available on GOG as part of that new deal, even though the remaining titles have yet to be confirmed.
Now what I’m really, seriously hoping for is Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb and the original Star Wars Battlefront.
Completely offtopic but with the recent announcement regarding Valkyria Chronicles coming to the PC, I really hope GOG.com becomes one of its distributors.

I would be good but I doubt because first Sega needs too add their catalogue (with lots of great stuff) to gog and that doesn’t seem to be happening.
I hope Shemnue PC port is also happening in the future…

They managed to get XSeed though…
Tried Sam and Max, uses ScummVM, works great of course.
The intro of this game is so good, probably one of the most memorable intro in adventure gaming. Funny and sets up the mood of the game.
“Friends, we’ve only got out together 3 times and already you’re telling me you just want to be friends? You never gave a chance and for that… YOU’LL FRY LIKE A PORK SAUSAGE”
Yes! It is a very fun intro. I’m also very fond of the opening credits and its marvelous music.
I think Lucasarts weren’t capable of bad intros. Sam&Max;, DOTT, Monkey Island, Loom…all totally memorable.
LucasArts excelled in this area, I agree. I re-installed Full Throttle and The Dig last week just to see the opening credits again. They really set the stage and establish the mood. Impeccable stuff, really.
Seems like they are really spacing out the releases… It’ll take a year to release all the games like this
With the recent announcement of the DotT remaster it will probably not be released for now. I hope at least Full Throtle is in one of the next batch.

Yes. Disappointing that they didn’t release even one adventure this time.
At least they got KOTOR 2. Hopefully fan mods will work with it.
It kind of reminds me of how games were released in the LucasArts Archives series—where the 1st volume included some adventure games but the 2nd volume was all Star Wars and no adventures.
I already own X-Wing Alliance and KOTOR 2, and I just recently downloaded Dark Forces from an abandonware site, so I’m good for now. Nice try though, GoG.
