I have incredible memories of playing MI1, and to a lesser extent, MI2 (never finished - no Internet back then and these games were tricky). I think it is very cool he is getting to make the game he wants, and I do the same with my development work (it is always for me, if someone else likes it...bonus). I'll reserve judgement until release, but I personally don't like the art style...but who cares, I'm probably not his audience anyway (I stopped gaming years ago, but would probably pick up a copy if it was retro style - and then never play it anyway).

Cool indeed. I think MI caught the spirit of gameplay for me, alongside iconic titles like Elite and Civ. Pirates of the Caribbean had a similar spirit. I'll likely be handing over cash for this version. If the new game has the same banter and half decent puzzles, it'll be a winner, for me. Something to get my daughter to play with me if she has the patience of walking about the place!

    Yep. I see the Disney ride was used as inspiration for the game. Makes sense that they are suspiciously similar! >reference "Captain Jack Sparrow at one point used a coffin as a rowboat, just like Guybrush did. The movie and the game both featured a Caribbean voodoo lady who lived in a swamp.

Pleasing to see.

      Plus, the little boy on the dock fishing at the start of (I think) one of the films.

You never finished MI2??? Don't get spoiled, but you should definitely finish it.

  If I ever go back and pick up a game, it will be an adventure game. Of the games I would possibly pick up again, MI2 is on the short list.
