Awesome Classics, and I can fix the sound problems too! March 13, 2006

Those who are experiencing problems running the music correctly in Monkey Island 2 are doing so because of a soundcard incompatibility, as Slackersmurf previously pointed out. However, instead of tinkering with the CMD line of the dos program, I can recommend downloading and installing VDMSound, a free program that's easy to find on google. This nifty little plugin emulates Soundblaster compatibility on ANY soundcard you may have. Once installing it you can simply right-click the DOS game from its folder and select the "run with VDMS" option. I used to have a soundblaster AWE64 card, and since upgrading my computer I'm thrilled to say that VDMSound perfectly matches the tunes and sound effects they way I remember them. This doesn't just work with MI2 either, it has been tested and proven to work with hundreds of classic DOS games. I hope I've helped cure some buyer's remorse for a few people, enjoy the game the way it was meant to be heard!

This is a truly wonderful pack o' games.Who wouldn't like to see the
humorous exploits of Guybrush as he falls in love with a governor,
meets his father,visits an outhouse cleaner's business,raises his great-great-grandfather from the dead,messes up a diorama,and defeats his main enemies,Kim and Gil.Lots o' humor and puzzles.A must-have!

Im a major MI fan (i spent a lot of time tracking down all the games- had no idea it was on amazon :() Anyway, i'll review one at a time:1: My first video game. It is witty, charming, and kid appropriate. After playing, i couldnt WAIT to see if they would release other games, and maybe even a movie! 2: A very nice sequel, and while it relates to number one, its ok to play without playing the first. 3: By far my favorite, this is the funniest. The grapics have really evolved, and insult swordfighting is back (you fight like a cow!) By far one of the best game series ever. I'll go rate 4 now... p.s GET THIS FOR YOUR KIDS FOR CHRISTMAS!
Sorry they discontinued February 19, 2003

These were the best games I've ever played! All three were hilarious with their jokes and puns. I'm only sorry that this item is no longer sold so that other people can't see how Guybrush Threepwood first started.

I was just a kid when I played my first adventure game, that game was The Secret of Monkey Island or just Monkey 1. As far as I remember, no other game makes me feel so glad to have a computer ! Since then, I just could not stop to play Monkey Island, so I bought the Monkey 3 and Monkey 4, and finally, after many years, I bought this pearl, the Monkey Island Archives. Monkey is a mix of fun and jokes, and is the only one wich can bring to you the mistery of the Disc 28 and many others ! If you know what I mean, luck you, you are part of the great world of Monkey Island, if you don't, buy it now !
