The Monkey Island SCUMM Bar: In the Zone

April's edition of top UK Gaming Magazine PC Zone has an article in it about the 50 greatest PC Gaming moments ever. The Secret of Monkey Island got numero uno, leaving Half-life 1 and 2 to second place and Deus Ex to third. Take that!

You can read a scan of the article in our media section here, or by picking up a copy of the magazine from any decent British newsagents. Other mentions of LucasArts games include Tie Fighter (#4 � being recruited into the Imperial Elite), Sam & Max (#16 � all of it) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (#25 - the leap of faith puzzle at the end), Dark Forces (#27 � the introduction of the Dark Troopers), and the sequel Jedi Knight (#34 � escaping from a crashing spacecraft).

Great stuff.

Update: For any Zone readers who just came here to experience Insult Swordfighting then the link to the web-game is here. Enjoy!

Funny how they feature images of the CD version, where the stumpy joke that they so lovingly praise was removed.

i still hope all the cancelations are just for publicity! get a lot of atention and people will buy... but w/e

cangrations to SMI!

man these 15 years from the day it was releaced passed SOOO fast! and i still love it! ecry time i play i find something new! or a piece of dialog that is funny even after you hear it 2 gabillion times! And as someone at talletale said: "most games are made by gamers, so they mostly build a game for themselfs" and the recent downfall of the starwars series... what's up with that? is it even throo? i heard that the top 3 goals of lec are
1) reastablish the SW series
2) more indiana jones games
3) a new ting that we've never heard about :)

i think this is all unofficial but i'm not shure... so noone here say "lec's SW games are doing bad! maybe they'll do mi5/sam2/grim fandango 2/etc."
