The return of the new and old.
While adventure games are nowhere near as popular as they once were in the classic days of PC gaming, Telltale games have been keeping the tradition going alongside a new concept in games – episodic releases.
Combine old with new and this summer and we’ll be getting Monkey Island. Telltale games will be making five monthly episodes of Tales of Monkey Island for the PC and WiiWare, with the first one launching on July 7.
Check out the trailer below:
LucasArts isn’t just dumping Monkey Island on Telltale, but rather it is working on a game for fans of the series. Also hitting this summer will be Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, which faithfully recreates every scene from the original release from 1990, but gives it an optional layer of fresh paint. Players can switch back and forth from the new painted art and the original pixilated renditions.

Please tell me this isn't a joke, if you're messing with me, I'm going into a murderous rage.
Doing a horrid job - Bad.
Seriously, looks like a flash game...
If you're remaking something, make it modern.
I would disagree, it maybe in a vector format though, which would be smart if you want to support all resolutions (so in the future, you could play at resolutions much greater than what we have now, and it would still work great).
The only thing that appealed to me in that video was the music and his hot wife.
What flash games are you playing? I want to play these flash games with GC/xbox/Wii level graphics.
Yup, I'm getting it. I LOVE adventure games.
But will they answer the most important question??
You know... How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
I loved the original Monkey Island game, I had it on the Amgia 1200 and I got to enjoy full 16 bit colour and an uncompromised music track. And since I big fan of the series I will be buying this game and the remake.

You Fight Like A Dairy Farmer
long live monkey island.
How appropriate, you fight like a cow.
Horribly cheesy insult sword fighting; now that's classic adventure gaming.
