I've downloaded this but not played it yet. While I was reading up on it I noticed a mention of The Secret of Monkey Island : Special Edition. This is the original game but re-done for modern formats. You can buy it from Steam for just £3.49. http://store.steampowered.com/app/32360/

I have it and intend to give it a go before doing the Tales of Monkey Island. I had a good go on it last night but when I came to save it I couldn't. At first i cursed the game but it turned out the problem was that the batteries had gone dead in my keyboard, which meant I couldn't get to the save screen. I felt a fool for doing a forced reset on my computer. As far as the game goes, it runs fine. Well worth the £3.49.

I thought they only did Escape from Monkey Island on the ps2. Did you get another one over in America? I liked it on the ps2, it was easier for me and the mrs to play it together. The are all ace games.
