This was one of the best games I ever had! As a kid, it took me nearly 2 years to complete it without help. The music kicks ass! Could you also upload the Grim Fandango music someday? :D

[garudoh]

Yep, I will.

[NagaSjekira]

oh, my favorite game of all time :-) the music, the puzzles, the voice acting, the unforgettable characters, the jokes...some of the best jokes in adventure games...and games in general! ("Guybrush: Do you know anything about lifting curses?

Murray: Oh, right. I know a lot about lifting curses. That's why I'm a disembodied talking skull sitting on top of a spike in the middle of a swamp.

Guybrush: You seem bitter.

Murray: I'm sorry. It's been a rough day." xDxDxDxD)

[Grimmjowespada]

@Foxclass OBVIOUS!!!

[Foxclass]

@NagaSjekira Fuck yes!

[Foxclass]

Oh man, I hope all of you are donating to the Double Fine kickstarter campaign

One of the best games of all time, and the soundtrack is amazing. This song has haunted me in my dreams for over a decade.

[unstopable1896]

Goosepumbs!!shit i feel like im 8 years old!!=D

[oliverecords]

Reggae, people!

[bozaki87]

back when we had no internet access and walkthroughs, barely knew english and looked up words like "aye" and "the sea cucamber" in the dictionary...

damn this adventure game tops every one i have ever played....

[NInjai555]

@Larrylarp Trim the sales and roam the sea.

[TheGuyBehindThePC]

what does they say at 2:50 soory

[rakputin]

Look behind you! A three headed monkey!

[Zagallovh]

Don't make me laugh!

[CboyNL]

@Larrylarp this was the best version ever in my opinion...but I never played the first two so I can't compare them. But of the newer versions it's the best.

[fetsen1]

I am Guybrush Threepwood, A mighty pirate!

[JoLVolley]

ty for this mix up of great MI soundtracks :D:D gj

[Larrylarp]

A Pirate I was meant to be!

[Larrylarp]

The first two were my favorite games ever, but somehow, the quality in this one dropped a bit. I mean, it's still a great game, but the jokes weren't as good.

Land made great music, of course, and the voice actors were great too.

[chachawitz]

I agree with you...

[recordmasta001]

this takes me back

[pandagal21]

I love the MI theme

[LordMerlin1992]

they are faar better than the new one's, for example "sam&max - season one", even if they are great, too

[feliporivera]

[DamazViccar]

Strange, they seem to be getting worse after the 3rd installment.

Tales of MI looks really really bad.

[DamazViccar]

The soundtrack is available online, I'm sure.

9:00 is the barbershop theme.
