Oh ja, I forgot about that! I've never been able to play it as I think it was only available as part of the Orange Box which I didn't get because of the whole STEAM thing and my lack of a broadband connection...

That would be cool - however, I don't think next-gen graphics would make Monkey Island as appealing as it was back then.

Anyone still remember Kinds Quest and the "spellbook" that you needed for the game?
Oh, I'm not asking for DirectX 10 3D Graphics....I would like to see the artwork redone with more colours and at a higher resolution.

I played no.1 a few months ago (running DosBox on XP), hadn't played it for at least 10 years. Didn't make a mistake the whole way through the game. Amazing how you don't forget. Finished it in one sitting, rescued both the baron's children and chased away mean old Baba Yaga. What a classic game :)

Anyone remember The Incredible Machine. They should do a remake using Ageia and GPU accelerated physics.
