psychetool Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 The origional, 256 colors. A true example of content over graphics, this game is excellent. I played it back in (6th?) grade and remember absolutly loving it. I tried EBAY and I tried the lucasarts store. Where can I find this old jewel! Got cash in hand, just waiting for a seller! Please help me. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, if you want to move it to a more appropriate area on the MI forum please feel free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 It might be easier to find the PC version and play it through ScummVM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychetool Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 Ok. I picked up SCUMM and went to go buy MI1 on eBay now but I have run into another dilemma. I have no disk drive! How can I get around this ? Is there a PC CD version that I could find ? Must I just bite the bullet and purchase a USB disk drive in order to play ? <eek!> Please message me if you have a copy! Thanks again, Rem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 You'll most likely have an easier time finding a CD-ROM copy on eBay than floppy actually. The floppy version is usually a good deal more expensive as it's a "collector's item" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychetool Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 Isn't a CD rom copy construed as piracy ? I really wish lucasarts would support abandonware of it's old titles, similar to the burning sky game over at SCUMM. I would rather get it totally legal then have to *pay* for a pirated copy. Hell, if i'm gonna get a pirated copy of a game that is no bigger then 5MB I might as well just download it. But I wouldn't want to do that, now would I ....

psychetool Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 Well I went out and bought a USB disk drive, it wasn't as bad as I expected and all in all the whole game + new disk drive only set me back $45. Well worth it to see gybush run across my screen again! Thank you all for your help and support, I now have monkey island running and have been treasuring it all day... Arg!!! Pass the grog mateeee!! BTW : These pully chickens are amazing. I had only played MI2 previously and this is a truly great expirience to play the game where it all origionated from. Hail Gybrush Threepwood!

I'm not talking about an illegal copy, I'm talking about a perfectly valid CD-ROM copy that somebody legally purchased and are now selling off on eBay.
