I haven't played either Sam or MonkeyIsland, though I have played Tentacle, which was fun. <BR/><BR/>I guess I should have known you'd be into the off-beat humor of those games. Note the warning label on your picture of the Sam and Max game: "Parental Advisory - Twisted Humor". That explains a lot about you, Hanson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26106925.post-1158431272994318392006-09-16T11:27:00.000-07:002006-09-16T11:27:00.000-07:00I've heard many good things about this "Sam and Ma...I've heard many good things about this "Sam and Max", like it was such a good game that there is a petition floating on the interweb asking for a sequel.<BR/><BR/>I've also heard good things of Monkey Island.<BR/><BR/>However, I am much deprived in that I have not played either game.Rach-ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215369211082074788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26106925.post-1158214991955792932006-09-13T23:23:00.000-07:002006-09-13T23:23:00.000-07:00Alas, no Sam and Max graced my childhood; instead ...Alas, no Sam and Max graced my childhood; instead my younger days were filled with Frog and Toad (timeless treasures, those), Beatrix Potter and Richard Scarry's Busy Busy World. <BR/><BR/>The only board game I remember was called Splat, and I recall nothing about it except that it involved attempting to flatten play-dough bugs of other players. Really a violent game.<BR/><BR/>My word verification for this post is "ofwuwnks."

In fact, only the Myst series could be placed above the Threepwood Chronicles on my list of games I would gladly purchase a computer for... <BR/><BR/>Part of that must be attributed to the fact that Stan is a brilliant character, part of it is the fact that the "in utero" name I gave my second son was Murray, the demonic skull, and part of it is the amazing quotability of all 4 games.<BR/><BR/>But the biggest reason is the music. I love the score, and even own the complete soundtrack to each game. (The internet is a wonderful place.)<BR/><BR/>No love for Day of the Tentacle?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26106925.post-1158060194326242522006-09-12T04:23:00.000-07:002006-09-12T04:23:00.000-07:00Strange...
