Spike, on another note, Monkey Island 1-4 were very enjoyable as well. Challenging puzzles, humourous and engaging plot and dialogue, and memorable characters, certainly a pinnacle of the gaming genre.</p>[/quote]<div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder" /></div><div>[quote user="Servo2000"]</div>
Grim Fandango may very well be my favorite video game of all time.</p>
