Trapezoid Posted February 25, 2002 Posted February 25, 2002 My personall favorite always tends to be whichever game I played last. So I'm just voting for MI1 because it's the original.
The Adventurer Posted February 26, 2002 Posted February 26, 2002 I thought EMI was a good game. SO sue me! Some one had to vote for it! Acualy CMI is probly better but I've beaten it to death and it doen't have the pull it once had. I still find my self going back to EMI thou. Just to play it "one more time". How ever if it was on the list Grim Fandango would be my fav.
Metallus Posted February 26, 2002 Posted February 26, 2002 Heh, so if Grim Fandango was a Monkey Island game it'd be the best Monkey Island game.
Alien426 Posted February 26, 2002 Posted February 26, 2002 Monkey Island 1 is a classic and I love it for its inventions like insult sword-fighting. Monkey 2 has some advantages like the fantastic music throughout the whole game and it is the longest of the bunch. CMI is very neat to look at, has hi-quality music and voices. EMI is EMI. So I voted for Monkey Island 2, but could just as readily have voted for part 3 or 1.
Huz Posted February 26, 2002 Posted February 26, 2002 Monkey Island 2 is my favourite. Diverse locations, excellent music, and a great ending. Oh, and it has the Cook Chase theme.
Metallus Posted February 26, 2002 Posted February 26, 2002 Everyone seems to love 2 the best, but I had bad experiences when I first played it. It was so damn hard, I had to get the walkthrough to beat it! Well, I guess I owe my discovery of Mixnmojo to my difficulty with MI2, so it all works out.
elTee Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 It is unlikely that any other adventure game will ever rival MI-2. Adventure gaming hit its peak in 1992, and we were there.

Adventure gaming hit its peak in 1992, and we were there. I think it hit its peak in 1998 with Grim Fandango. But if the goodness of adventure gaming was a big graph, it would have been consistently high during the early 90s, dropped off after 1995, and 1998 would have shown a very high blip in a sea of nothingness. Blip.
Wossname Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 Amen to that, Huz. Grim Fandango is the greatest computer game ever made.
Metallus Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 Agreed. It's a shame that LEC couldn't market itself out of a paper bag back in those days, or the game could have been a huge success.
Navhead Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 I voted for MI2. It kinda has the original MI feel to it, not to mention the original though, heh.
Trapezoid Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 I feel EMI is a bit underrated. Of course, this a poll for the best MI, and few consider EMI the very best out of all four games, but they're the best damn games I've ever played save for Grim. I think none of them should be put in a negative light.
RaptorII Posted February 27, 2002 Posted February 27, 2002 Eh, I guess MI2, I think it had sort of a polished feel, and it had a great ending, not just the actual ending, but I mean how you cought up with your self, and then played a little game of tag/hide and seek. I just thought it was pretty darn cool. However MI1 will always have a nice spot, as it was the birth of MI.
Trapezoid Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 You're not crazy. I guess it just depends on what you treasure most in a game. Each game has strong points... MI1 has the most originality, MI2 has the best mood (I also find it has the most replayability), CMI has the most pleasing graphics and sound, and EMI is the funniest, if you can dig it that is.
Yoha Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 true... i agree with you that it's difficult to pick just one they're all great in their own right....
Flirbnic Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 MI2 is unquestionably the best game ever made... it has the best villain ever, best music ever, best atmosphere ever...
Metallus Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 EMI did have a lot of good lines. Quote Carla: Hey, where's our crew? Guybrush: How appropriate, You fight like a cow Carla: You never knew when to use that one
DODSalesManager Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 Personally, I think that The Curse of Monkey Island was the best in the series. Not only did I really enjoy the cel animation, but the jokes were great! My favorite gag is when Guybrush drinks the liquid and everything starts to get...different. "It said it was supposed to cause drowsiness, but i dont feel a thing. In fact I feel........I feel........I feel...........ugh!" -DOD
Riffage Posted February 28, 2002 Author Posted February 28, 2002 The same poll is also located on http://www.scummbar.com
elTee Posted February 28, 2002 Posted February 28, 2002 I nearly said that Grim was the best, but held back. I do find that my favourite regularly changes between Grim Fandango and MI-2. The thing is, if I had to choose a place to be, ie. be in the actual game, I'd always end up on Booty Island. (Or blood island, come to mention it. I bet that place looks great in sunlight...) I really love Rubacava, and I'd love to there as well, but I think booty wins it by a hairslength.
