I'm so annoyed that they seem to ignore Mac OS X. Thankfully the boys at ScummVM show the mac some love and there is a Mac port of their fantastic emulator. As for the iPhone release of Secret of Monkey Island SE to the AppStore, its not here on the launch day of the PC and XBLA version, so yet again I feel a second class LucasArts fan. They are really testing my loyalty. Myself, i did buy the games and have all the disks for ScummVM proposes but I dont blame people sticking it to the big company anymore, not while they discount a massive portion of the fan base! I want to fight like an iCow Pro and have an iPhone with a Pulley in the middle. But i dont want to jail break my handset to do it.

Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, Sam & Max... fantastic. This adds another reason for me to buy the iPhone.

LucasArts have realised that this is another way to rake in millions from dead IP (read: Monkey Island XBLA) and I bet they are going to send a letter to ScummVM very soon saying something along the lines of this: "Hey puny humans, We know that ScummVM allows you to play your own purchased games on a number of devices and doesn't really infringe on any copyrights, but we made another version and since it is our IP, if you have to stop distributing yours we will find a reason to sue you. Thanks, Your new Overlords." Exactly what I was going to say.

Story beats graphics every time. The story, characters, variety of puzzles, voice acting are all superb. One of my favourite things is the relationship between Indy and Sophia, it really gives it an added richness you rarely see in PC games. Fate of Atlantis is one of the best computer games ever.
