I used to play the Monkey Iceland 2 (LeChuck's Revenge) back in the early 90s, and I really enjoyed it - then I found out that the 3rd MI-game! I bought it immediately, and I could not be happier. It was funny, the video was fun to read and the puzzles were well written, except for a few of them - then the 4th MI came in 3D in the past year, and I loved it, too. It was the same Monkey Iceland with 3D graphics - they also changed the control of mouse method on the keyboard is a little annoying at first, but not really bad.

Anyway, I really wanted to go back to the beginning of everything and experience the whole thing. Until I found out about this archive series, I was too over priced games on disk. I was so very happy to see that Lucas Arts had published the MI-archive. for this award, it is worth it, even if you already have the curse of the MI. You can see how guybrush has from the beginning until the end. The graphics are not that much to see, but in examining how old they are, it is very good. Non-linear puzzle make it less frustrating when you do not aim for a spot and even if you have a small problem, guybrush always manage to give you a little hint. Highly Recommended!
