Monkey Island is back! And Adventure Games come to Steam! A Great Day for Video Games.

Yesterday and Today is the reemergence of a wonderful time, where video games were actually funny, interesting and filled with plot!!! The days were story came first and effects….well they didn’t exist yet outside of VGA ruled the PC game space. LucasArts has restored faith in a dying genre, even if it is mainly re-released versions of classic games(minus the new Telltale Games, Tales of Monkey Island), and brought classics back to the new era.

LucasArts has launched a bunch of games on Steam today from the good ole days, but most importantly, Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis, Loom and The Dig. These are three amazing adventure games that filled my youth with joy for countless hours. They are now only 5$ each and all playable on a modern pc(without ScummVM.)

On another note, Telltale games alongside LucasArts has started a new chapter in episodic gaming and the Monkey Island series, by releasing episode 1 of “Tales of Monkey Island” which is a new storyline to the Monkey Island series(minus original creator Ron Gilbert.)

I hope anyone with a PC goes to steampowered.com and tries out some of these games, or telltalegames.com for Tales of Monkey Island. Trust me you will not be dissapointed.
