The Secret of Monkey Island is probably my favorite game of all time.
I remember saving for the better part of a year to buy the ridiculously expensive 512K expansion module for my Amiga 500, basically just for being able to play it. The moment the memorable intro music started playing I knew it was worth it.
All the games from Maniac Mansion up to Grim Fandango are absolute classics, some of the fondest memories I have of video games.
- colmvp 12y agoDo you recall how much was the expansion module?
- Kurtz79 12y agoNot really, but it was definitely this weird triangle-shaped brick: http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/m1ZaYEMj4L9eCCMBaPuZ0pw.jpg http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/m1ZaYEMj4L9eCCMBaPuZ0... Now it sells for 25$ on Ebay, apparently :)
