Secret Of Monkey Island Sets Sail For XBLA?

never heard of this game

Holy shit, that would be sweet.  I love the old LucasArts and Sierra adventure games.

awesome, cant wait for this

Great stuff. Now bring on Full Throttle and Grim Fandango.

That's pretty good news for 360 owners. I'm ashamed to admit I have never played Monkey Island either, though I did play a bit of Day of the Tentacle at a friends house back in 1996 I think, when I was seven or eight.

Have you ever played the original two Broken Sword adventure games Brad? Or did you cast them aside along with the Thief series :p

Crazy thing is, I don't know if I'd want this, I played through MI1 and 3, and I remember most of the secrets and puzzles...

WANT NOW\!

I wish I heard about this sooner...wait.

I haven't played Loom, though I've heard good things about it. The Dig and the MI series are where it's truly at, man. Out of all the classic Lucas Art games, what I really want to play is Day of the Tentacle. Viva la classics!

Monkey island with Dual Analog?

Unplayable.

Perhaps Double0hFor's avatar belies his age?  If he is young enough its entirely possible he honestly has never heard of Monkey Island, which would be a horrible horrible tragedy.

Seeing the LucasArts point and click classics make a return to XBLA would be a welcome sight indeed.

If it is a NEW adventure, what do you guys  think the chances are Schaffer or Gilbert are involved?

YES! More of this.  More sword fighting and blasting LeChuck with rootbeer.  More heads of the navigator, rubber chicken and used ship salesmen.   Damn, these were awesome games!

Man, this would be awesome. I only ever played the third and fourth installments in the Monkey Island series, and the third (Curse of Monkey Island) is one of my favorite games ever.

Oh my god I hope so! One of the best games of all time...

Sweet, more adventure games for the 360 is a GREAT thing. We need all of Lucasart's behind it.

The only that hurt Brad's gaming cred in this article was the severe lack of Grim Fandango being mentioned.

I played through this game more times than I can count.  Love it.

'You fight like a cow' achievement unlocked :)

Brad, you fight like a dairy farmer.

They're probably just licensing SCUMM VM. It's been ported to virtually everything already.

LucasArts vs. Sierra was such a golden age of gaming.  Police Quest got me into gaming and Full Throttle made me stay.  I couldn't choose between Lucas and Sierra any more than I could choose a favourite child..... and omfg I just realised what I will call my children.

Brutal Legend special edition should just include everything Schafer has ever done.

give me GRIM! ..  Im extremely pleased by this, love the series!

Brad man, at least get around to playing Curse of monkey island, that's an absolute must!

I want this game so much. But I have nothing to play it on. If this came out.. Well..... :D

Yes oh baby yes !!

Very awesome! 

Would love to see all those classic LucasArts adventure games come to XBLA.

I've never played these games but I do love me some point and click adventure. So I'll be getting this.

Aaaawwwweesoooome!!! I had a serious "thing" for escape from monkey island, always wanted to check this out...

I'd love to see Sam and Max Hit the Road on XBLA or Steam

I'd get this, if I didn't already have a copy sitting on my desk. 

My head exolodes everytime I even THINK about these news.. Its got me more excited than probably any other gaming related news right now.

They should put them all on there.  OOP ACK CHI!

STEAM PLEASE

I want the 7th guest and under a Killing moon on arcade or all the Sierra click and plays.

YEAH!  They actually DO read those emails!  Awesome.

Monkey Island is my Bible of sorts. I wonder how kids today (like Brad) will like it. 

Oh, I want this. More LucasArts games, please!

I hope this is just the start and LucasArts will finally put all their classic adventure games on current gen systems. I want to play the Monkey Island series on my DS, is that too much to ask for?

Hopefully it does good enough that they decide to make a 5th (that hopefully doesn't suck ass)

do want.

I thought that the new(ish) Telltale Sam 'N Max  games were supposed to be released on XBL the same time as Wallace & Gromit this summer.  They even said as much on that awful InsideXbox sendamessage thing.

What ever happened to that?

Not to say that this also wouldn't be an instant purchase, although considering it's not actually that long it should definately be 800 points not 1200. It would have been more sensical for them to bundle 1&2 together so that younger gamers can get the entire /official/ Gilbert-era M.I. story and fill in the blanks in Tim Shafer's past career before they play Brutal Legend.

What, no psn?
