I want Monkey Island PC games

Claire_Jones_3

Please help anyone, I'm trying to find the original monkey Island PC games but can't seem to find the first ones anywhere.

Number 1 was called Secret of Monkey island
NUmber 2 was LeChucks revenge
Number 3 Curse on monkey island (which i have found but no point until I can get hold of the first 2!)

If anyone knows where I can get a copy please let me know as Hubby wants them for his birthday. Doesn't matter how old they get they still wants big kids toys!!

Thanks

I think they are still sold by "Lucas Classic Line" PC games (maybe try amazon). You might be able to find the amiga version as freeware, but you would have to download an emulator to play it. Sorry I can't be more help.

These are now very old games, and as you have seen, LucasArts don't even sell 1&2 any more. Look on eBay for them, or there is a 'Monkey Island Bounty Pack' which appears to be between £50 and £100 (amazon marketplace has a few as well).

Unfortunatly the old LucasArts games have a fairly good cult following, so while most games of that age would be about 50p, these have maintained their value.

Since LucasArts don't sell Monkey Island 1 & 2 anymore they have no reason to enforce the patent and you can get them for free as abandonware: www.abandonia.com

I got them a few years ago, they came bundled with laods of lucasarts game such as full throttle, dark forces, te.c Got it in smith came in quite a chunky box.

I was waiting for this to turn up Unfortunately Lucas Arts are not as charitable (or enlightened?) as other software companies and do not allow their products to be given away free so you can work out for yourself what these sites are offering.

...and note their legal people are active in chasing them down, which is daft really.

I got Moneky Island 1 & 2 on one CD-Rom if you want me to make a copy OP? PM me your address and i'll happily burn a copy and forward you're way (BTW - is it illegal posting this? Can you even do it with PC-CD Rom games?

AHEM - I mean, I have it, if you'd like to PM me OP, I will gladly chat with you about it, but cannot endorse such activities as pirating of materials! Step into my office and we'll discuss the pro-s and con's of such activities, and the effect it is having on todays society!

Following on from my last post, i downloaded/extracted the zip files from dosgamesonline website, installed SCUMM onto windows then pointed SCUMM at the extracted files. This plays great, i tried MI1 and MI2

This system lets you play the files on a variety of operating systems.. next stop indiana jones and the fate of atlantis....

NOTE: just checked, these are demo's and not full games
