Happy Father's Day. If you haven't played Return to Monkey Island, now would be a good day.

#fathersday #MonkeyIsland

@grumpygamer Looking forward to it. Still recovering from vision issues so I'm mostly keeping off pc gaming, but it's up on my list for sure. ><

@grumpygamer waiting on my pre-ordered #physical copy from #LimitedRunGames.

Hope it still comes this year 😄

@grumpygamer I promise I will get to it.
@grumpygamer Having already bought it on the PC, I just picked up another copy for my kids’ Switch so they can enjoy it too!
@grumpygamer And if you can, play it with your kids!
@DavidBFox @grumpygamer I've played it with my 7yo son. We've had a great time together. Thank you for that.
@DavidBFox @grumpygamer I played through it with my daughter, then she played through it by herself, then she played through it with her grandmother!
@Ccollet @grumpygamer Wow, that's really special. Creating lifelong memories.
@Ccollet @DavidBFox Don't forget @thatdave who was my co-designer/writer.
@grumpygamer @Ccollet @DavidBFox It's the day after Father's Day now but it's still a good day to play Return to Monkey Island.

I would replay it, but I ran out of save slots during the first playthrough. Several times. I'm from the "save early, save often" era, and besides I use the savegames as my own scrapbook of the game. Which seems even more appropriate than usual for this one! 😁

On the other hand, Father's Day isn't until November 12 here in Sweden so I'm not out of time yet.

(On the third hand, would you look at that pile of still unplayed adventures! It's huge!)

@grumpygamer there's no better game than System Shock!
@grumpygamer Is this only available through Steam? Also, according to the Steam page, it's only working on Intel, not Apple silicon. Is that correct? 🤔

@udondan @grumpygamer

GOG is selling it too. No idea about the Apple hardware requirements, though. My Macintosh knowledge ended around System 6 on a Mac Plus.

@grumpygamer If I’ve never played any Monkey Island (I’m sorry), can Return be my first or better to start further back?
@DodoNotDoDo @grumpygamer in my opinion, you can start with this one. They explain any pertinent background info.

@grumpygamer Monkey Island games were some of my favorite growing up. Thank you!

Where would I find this?

@grumpygamer Hey Ron, Hi!
In the hypothetical case that Guybrush and Elaine had a daughter, what would be the names you would choose? I was thinking of "dot" for the "dot brush" extension. But maybe I would like more pirate names of the time. Things like Mary Anne or something. I seriously need your word here please!
#fathersday #monkeyIsland
@grumpygamer My favorite moment of the entire game.

@grumpygamer

This aspect of the game was really touching, it felt like the developers weren't recreating past glories but thinking about their current life. Worked really well :)
