Lucasarts is releasing a special edition of the best adventure game of all time (Monkey Island 2: Lechuck’s Revenge) this summer :D

In addition to the brand new game, a remake of the original Secret of Monkey Island with better graphics/audio will be released on Steam in 7 hours from now. I’m really looking forward to this as the graphics in the original is not really great and does not compare well to Monkey Island 2 (which still looks great) :)

I guess this is the summer of the Monkey, which is AWESOME

Update – June 20th

Now I finally played trough the whole thing, and it was great!

The new graphics/effects/music/speech really made it much more playable than the original version, which really has started to show signs of old age with pretty gloomy and ugly graphics.

The game only cost 9€ on Steam.. I would gladly pay 30€ for a similar remake of Monkey Island 2 which is 5 times better than the first one, but I think I might start playing the second game now anyway, since the graphics there are way better than the original Secret of Monkey Island.
