This urge hits me a lot more often than I'd like to admit...

I really want to play some Monkey Island, Full Throttle, DotT, MM, Grim, etc! Greatest group of games ever created and I always run into a brick wall trying to find them in some form of legal distribution that will actually run on current day PCs. Any ideas?

Ebay and Amazon are how I download mine as well. A few days after placing the order the download completes in the form of a CD right in my physical mailbox. It's amazing! I've had to pay between $20 and $60 for some of these old Lucasarts games though.

Physical copy from ebay plus ScummVM is your best bet for playing on a modern computer.

day of the tentacle was so awesome. Definitely would be worth a replay.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis from LucasArts was also fantastic! One of the best Indy games for sure.

ScummVM is simple to run, as well.

That's what I used to run Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. The game ran perfectly on it.

I have original discs of all monkey island games, it's a antique now- one day I'll sell it for a million bucks.

A bit offtopic, but I would love to see Lucas Arts to make new versions of those original Tie Fighter/X-Wing simulators. I played those soooo much when they were new. Luckily I have the original discs still in my bookshelf :) I will try those later today :p

edit: typos.

LucasArts hasn't made anything decent in ages.

I know that, but I think the X-Wing/Tie-Fighter simulators were best games Lucas Arts have ever made (in my opinion). I can always hope.

Which titles did you have to pay $20-60 for? I have a huge collection of old Lucasarts games, and if I can that kind of money :D

QFT I loved that game.
My friend and I could never get the sound to work right for those PDAs or communicators or whatever
