I'm the crew member that goofs off 😁 It is a great time. Playing SoT inspired me to take up the concertina!

SoT is one of my favorite games. I have had my account since the beta, although recently I have not been on as frequently as I used to. It is one of my favorite games to goof off in -- being bored is part of the experience and the atmosphere makes the whole thing enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys the Caribbean pirate aesthetic... which I suspect many in here do! 😁

Oh look, a reason to play MI 1 and 2 again! I was very late to the party for these games, but the story is one of my all time favorites. Excited to see how they follow up MI2.

Fingers crossed for an Xbox release. I did not see whether it will be on consoles, but it is safe to say it will at least be on PC.

I completely dismissed it as an April Fool's joke... finally, one turns out to be real. So excited for this game!

Anyone else excited to see what they do with this? Kotor is one of those games that I think holds up to this day, so it is exciting to see how it will be modernized. Bummed about the timed release thing, but I'm hoping it finds its way to Xbox in my lifetime. Personally, I like the idea of these older games getting remade for a modern audience. (for me, the Monkey Island remakes made me fall in love with it!) https://www.pcgamer.com/kotor-remake/

I’m going to have to see if Curse will work on my old MacBook. I’m probably going to play through as many of these games that are available on Xbox and then assess the computer situation! 😂 I really want to play more Monkey Island. I totally looked up help for some of the puzzles in MI2. It took me about 7 hours to complete it. Basically, I try to do as much as I can and then try the hint feature. If that doesn’t work... I look it up! I honestly have no idea how I’d have made it past a few of them. Kudos to those of you who did it alone!

I hate to double reply, but I just finished the game about 20 minutes ago. What an incredible game from beginning to end. I absolutely loved the ending — I imagine it was a major point of discussion. I feel like this is a game you can continue to analyze and never get to the bottom of it. Thanks for not spoiling the return of my man Stan. Glad to see he was still out hustling. I just gotta say that I am so happy that I decided to play these games. Consider me a fan!

Hey all, I just want to give a heads up to anyone on here who is a fellow Xbox user. Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb is one of this month’s Games with Gold games until February 15. I never played it, but am adding it to my list! I’ve always heard good things about it.

From what I’ve seen, the Xbox version does not have lite mode. At least there wasn’t an option. I had some time last night and played through part 1. I’m pretty sure the “hard” mode is the default on Xbox just from the description in that article. (The hard thread puzzle was in my game. I didn’t read past Part 1, no spoilers please!) I will say that I find this game to be more challenging than the first one, which is a good thing. Concerning the above mentioned thread puzzle, I had to look it up to get there. (Shame on me! I tried...) I kept walking around trying to figure it out and talk to everyone but it really had me stumped. 😂 I’m also enjoying the story and characters so far — love Captain Dread and HATE Largo. One of the things I’ve really enjoyed in this series are the personalities — everyone you seem to encounter is just full of personality. Through just a few lines and movements they are able to convey so much. I’m low key hoping Stan (the sleazy used boat salesman) makes an appearance. Edit: I forgot to mention that I finally get the Mojo reference! I never looked it up. I got excited when I saw it.

Thank you for all the recommendations! I saw Grim Fandango in the Microsoft store and it looks pretty neat. I’ll have to see what ones are on Xbox. Also, Rum Rogers, reading what you said has me pumped to jump into Monkey Island 2 this weekend. I’ll probably have to post about how incredible it is! 😁

Call me late to the party, but finding that this forum was revived made me decide to play through a Lucasarts game that wasn't Star Wars. Classic Star Wars games were basically my reason for being on this forum years ago, but I wanted to switch it up. I played the remake of The Secret of Monkey Island on my Xbox One and... WOW! I couldn't put it down. I haven't played a point-and-click style game in ages, but now I want more. I enjoyed that I was able to play the modern one and the original-style game at the same time... which was funny because I felt the old school one was easier to control. 😆 I'm sure these are things you guys have heard before but I just really wanted to share! Knowing that I went all these years not knowing who Guybrush Threepwood is makes me feel like I've been missing out. I knew this game would become special to me when the game explained that great swordsmen have to have witty retorts to win. While another playthrough is definitely in order, I can't wait to pick up LeChuck's Revenge. Then, who knows... so many classic games to choose from! 😶

Stopping by to say hello! I am ecstatic knowing I can browse past Lucasforums posts, and excited for the possibility of new conversations.
