The first one was definitely a big game. I remember it taking me much longer than 5 hours when I originally completed it years ago. Will definitely be getting hold of the update/remake.

Personally I didn't finish it "in the good old days" since I was too young, too hasty and after weeks, months even of trying I got bored somewhere in the 1st act.
It was around ~2003, armed with a solution, that I finally did finish the trio.
Hasn't tried 4th one yet, not very eager to do so...

Did you ever plat Future Wars or Lure of the Temptress? Those were my two favourite Adventures from the Amiga days. Both quite large, with a load of different locations and events.

Nope, seen only a longplay of those - I've been more into Universe, Innocent Until Caught, and of course all the Polish adventures back then

Oh yeah, about SoMI SE one more time... TCD from EAB just reminded me that I forgot to mention that the new interface sucks.
The icons/names aren't always on the screen, and you either have to press V to show them, press the shortcut key to activate the desired action, or move the mouse-wheel to switch between them.
Many times I found meself switching back to the old look, to do some tricky actions that required using something on something...
Besides, the name of the SCUMM BAR (the place
) doesn't make sense now

I bought the episode pack about two weeks ago.
It was quite fun to play MI again but I miss Earl Boen's voice, he played LeChuck so well, I do like the new marquis character.
Sadly I finished the first episode rather quick.

Yes, it is a bit too short, but if you consider it as one (new) episode = one act (from the original), it sounds better, no?

The ability to switch back to classic mode on the fly is super neat; but I did find myself switching to calssic mode and back repeatedly rather often so I could have a look at every location in the style I remembered.

another Monkey Island thread on here.
I am really very tempted to try these new episodic MI games. By the way, I have never played MI3. Anyone got a copy to sell/lend (or a full ISO - sure I had one somewhere once upon a time, but there was a problem with it iirc)?
