it's also on the app store and it's a very good fit for tablets, slightly less so for mobiles

Played MI1 and 2 recently with my 6 year old from steam. We had a great time. Worked flawlessly with proton.

    Not the new "remaster".

I don't have a link handy, but there is a "monkey island 1 ultimate talkie" version of the original Monkey Island that I highly recommend. My understanding is that someone backported the speech from the remastered version into the original game. So you can play the original MI1 in SCUMMVM, with speech. It's great. edit: this might be the link https://archive.org/details/MONKEYISLAND_201903 https://archive.org/details/MONKEYISLAND_201903

  Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I prefer playing the game without the voice acting. It's a bit hard to describe why, but there's a lot of both dry and surreal lines in the game, and hearing Guybrush deliver them all in the same bemused voice can get a little monotonous, and makes the character come across differently from just reading them.

  I second this most strongly. Both Monkey Island 1 and 2 are available in unofficial "talkie" versions, which work in ScummVM. It's technically piracy, so buy the originals at GOG so you don't feel too guilty. Great games, and this is the best way to play them.
