The SKUMM engine produced some of my favorite PC games ever like The Secret of Monkey Island and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. I remember sitting for hours and playing these games (on floppy disk) Did anyone else enjoy them and do you know where I can get them (I'd rather not pay but if their cheap I guess its ok). Also, has anyone played the two newest Monkey Island games and are they any good?

Below are some screenshots to bring back memories for you that played.

Secret of Monkey Island

Best game SKUMM ever produced and my favorite PC game of all time. I replayed this game probably five times.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

I was really into Indiana Jones when this first came out so it pretty much took over my life for a year or so. Almost as good as Monkey Island.

I just downloaded a torrent of SCUMM games, and one with a bunch of old Sierra games. Now I have all of the Monkey Island games. The 3rd one is really good (Curse of Monkey Island). The 4th one is alright, but not as good as the others.


Edit: Way to spell SCUMM wrong, you poser.
Haha damn.

I got the torrents off Demonoid. You should definitely track down the 3rd game. It's awesome.
Yeah, I'll check it out.

You can play a fan-based opensource Indiana Jones game that perfectly resembles the games of old here; http://www.barnettcollege.com/demo.htm
