Buying Monkey Island

[Bingo Jesus]

I remember a while back that lucas arts offered a pack with all (or some) of the monkey island games at budget price. Does such a pack still exist, I'm wanting to buy the monkey island games compatable with gpscummvm. Wheres the best place to buy the games, as you know I need the versions with the .000 and .001 files.

Many Thanks
Bingo Jesus

you can buy any monky island version for pc.
there is a "ten adventures" pack. and also some other packs.
look at ebay, pricesaerch, discounters, or even big game shops some of them have such classic games.

Bingo Jesus,

Just about any version of Monkey Island 1 supported by ScummVM will work in the GP32 port. The VGA version is the one to go for if you have a choice (and the one in the LucasArts reissues) and OGG encode the CD tracks if you want music.

LucasArts still sell the packs. Monkey Island 1+2 in a DVD case in GameStation (UK) was going for a grand total of £4.99 new last week when I was in there.

If you just want Monkey Island, go for eBay. I got mine there and it was real cheap.

Those lucasarts adventure compilations reach ridiculous prices on ebay, probably more than they were when originally released.

Thank god i still got most of the scumm adventures from the good old days.

Great, I've got £10 at gamestation, if they don't have it i'll look at ebay.

Ditto here, I picked it up a few years ago for £15 (both games) from Electronics Boutique (now GAME). It's definitely worth it, although it doesn't run on XP I XPect (heh).

Just to give you an example of what you might find , If you visit the Sierra website and try to buy the Liesure suit larry 1-6 pack it takes you to amazon.com where used ones are priced around $300-$400 bucks

Does anybody know where to get the CD version of Monkey Island I?
The one with icons and CD Music... pretty hard to find

whilst we're on the subject of old games

GAME is selling Doom, Doom 2 and Final DOOM for £10 in a commemoration pack

You can use ScummVM though, surely as a GP32 owner you know this

That's how I run them, yes. Just subtly indicating my annoyance that LucasArts never bothered to make them work on XP themselves - you know, for the 80% of gamers who don't know about ScummVM :angry:
