What are you looking forward to?

This looks fucking gorgeous.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's very short, but it was cool at the time. The ports sorta sucked in that they didn't redo the video compression from original masters so they all look as shitty as the CD-i version. But still, probably worth the hour or two it'll take you.

I've heard some ominous musings that the Curse of Monkey Island is being wieghed as a Nintendo DS title. This said, any thoughts on touch screen point and click adventures?

Me, I think it would be even better than the mouse, but not as good as a Wacom.

On Monkey Island. Everyone in Monkey 'four' joked about a five game contract. I wonder if Lucasarts is considering this further. But I'm almost afraid they'll mess up another great thing.

As for upcoming, I am hooked on the homebrew scene. AGS, SLUDGE, and the like. Some games can be poison to the senses, but even a game designed to be played in five minutes can have it's moments.

So I guess the one I am looking forward to is my own, but as the sig says, it's been at 15 percent completion for a while now. I may just scrap it all back to code, I don't even know what half the animation cells were used for anymore.

Christmas shopping seasons; Great for the paycheck, lousy for free time.

Did this come out on Windows PC? I ask because the only systems I remember it coming out on back in the day were the CD-i, 3DO, and the Mac.

It had a PC port, but I beleive it was DOS. I could be wrong though.

For the genre its pretty good. I dont regret playing it. The visual design and story was by a bigshot european cartoonist.
On a second note;
OMG! 'Dreamfall' is in 3d?... sigh...
