helloooo.
I was wondering if y'all could help me find a PC simulation of the old school game "Monkey Island." I've been looking around for one but I've only found shitty demos...
thnx!!

First, go here:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net
Get the emulator, and also grab the front end called D-Fend. (There should be a link somewhere on the main page (possibly in the news.))
Then, go to an abandonware site, or a torrent site, and download the original game.

Well, do a search for "monkey island abandonware" on google. You might find an AW site with it.

Dosbox is good, but I have an eaisier solution to the Monkey Island playing.
SCUMMVM - This will play it flawlessly, and I'm emailing you the game.

Ill come up with an alternative method of transmission.

FuX0r!!! I forgot all about SCUMMVM!! I've got it installed with all the games. (The set you sent me, but upgraded.) I never played Monkey Island, so I didn't think about it immediately. Yes, that will work MUCH better. Not to mention the nifty MT-32 emulation.

We've had MegaMan for quite a while. Several months I'd say. I've never had a reason to use him though.

Billybobjobecky,
Did you find a copy of Monkey Island II?

OTAKU BOOTY?!?! Wow - there is no hiding it there. That is like creating a profile at Douche Bag HQ. "The other" EnderZero really needs to go away. He must realize that it is over and I have won. There is only one enderzero - and he definitely doesn't hang out at Otaku Booty. Nor does he capitalize the "E" and "Z" for that matter.

McNevin and I both have copies. I'm sure some form of digital transfer could be arranged. I have a little FTP server I could toss it up on.

I'm at work. Luckily everywhere I've ever worked (more or less) allows for such antics.
