Discworld 1 & 2
monkey island series

awesome games

With this new monkey island you can actually press the back button at any point during the games and it reverts to the old style graphics, its great to see how they have improved it however kept true to the original.

I downloaded this last night for the PC and it's pretty entertaining. One question though, how do you go from one part of the island to the other without having to trek all the way using the mouse? I notice that when you go past the lookout point it gives you a birds eye view of the island and you can click roughly where you want to go, but this is the only place that gives you this option...
