I Clicked On The Link And All I Got Was This Stupid Blog

Yaaaaahr mateys, Guybrush is back! Almost back! Lucasarts did quite a good job keeping it quiet, but somewhere next month they are going to release a remake of The Secret Of Monkey Island! And if that isn’t enough to make you scream like a 15 year old fangirl, they are also going to release a new episode based Monkey Island game named “Tales Of Monkey Island”. The Curse of Monkey Island (Monkey Island III) was actually the second point and click adventure game i’ve ever played. I used to be a pure First Person Shooter fan, so i only played games like Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior until i came across of Broken Sword II. I loved, and still love, that game a lot and when i completed it i wanted something similar. The nice mister at my local gameshop told me he was a huge Monkey Island fan and how awesome it was, etc etc. Too bad it wasn’t available at the time, but one of my shady friends helped me with my problem. I loved it right away! The great theme song, one of the best ever, the funny dialogs, the beautiful art, … made it hard not to love it. I played, finished and started it all over again at the more difficult “mega monkey” setting. But it wasn’t untill somewhere in 2001-2002 at a lan party that i played the first 2 games in the series. The gfx were definitely very very dated, but the humor and story were even better than the the 3rd Game. If i ever become an old man, those games helped. And if i don’t, at least they made me laugh a LOT! But it’s 2009 now and i STILL don’t own any of them! Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis, Sam and Max, Day of The Tentacle, Full Throttle, Monkey Island Series, … i love all of them and i WANT them but Lucasarts doesn’t want people to buy their great games or something like that. Because i have never seen them in a shop and when i tried to order them i always ended up empty handed. 
Lucasarts please look and learn from Revolution Software or Pendulo, cause i do own all the Broken Sword and Runaway games! That aside i can’t wait for the remake. I wantz it, i needz it!
