Monkey Island 5 (adventure game recommendations wanted)
 

Good day fellow adventurers, knew that title would grab your attention. What an adventure game the monkey island set was. Sadly no fifth installment. The first adventure games i played were toonstruck & Discworld II. Had a go at grim fandango but didnt like it. What i am looking for is an adventure game with the graphical content of the Monkey island type. Especially Monkey Island 3. Does anyone have any suggestions? What are you all waiting on as a new release?
thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Welcome grommit

grommit, there is an adventure game coming out in the next few months called A Vampyre Story that is very similar in both art style and interface to Monkey Island 3, and is in fact being helmed by that game's lead artist. Click here for some screenshots.

.. and here for the trailer :)

thanks fellow adventure magnets, im writing these suggestions down, vampyre story and runaway look great. keep em coming. oh and another thing...cool forum.

Ever tried Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars?

Its a classic, review and trailer :)

Yes i've played this game. I still have broken sword 1 & 2. Great game and certainly brushes the cobwebs off the grey matter.

Anyone interested in the whispered world? Your thoughts please. This looks like a winner when it is released. I may buy this.

Now if only we can brush the cobwebs off of Gray Matter...

The Whispered Wor(l)d demo was an all-too-short treat. I am dying for the full game.

Don't forget the second Runaway - Dream of the turtle --

The Legend of Kyrandia games (if you can find them) should also be of interst to you - maybe --

Have you said GRAY MATTER? WHAT!? IT'S OUT!?

Oh no, it's nothing more than a figure of speech, and in a thread dedicated to LucasArts - yew! yew! yew!

:D :D :D :D

Also if you haven't already, you should play the other Lucasarts Adventures such as 'Day of the Tentacle', 'Sam and Max: Hit the Road', and 'Full Throttle'. :)

Jack Keane looks very monkey-islandish, so I'm waiting for that. Also So Blonde is definitely on my list.

Hello everyone! Very nice to meet fellow adventure gamers, and to be a part of this community. Some great titles listed here. Hopefully Monkey Island 5 will be announced one of these days. :) Grommit, I had a lot of fun with Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, way back in the early 1990s I think. Have you tried the recent Sam and Max episodic games? They're really impressive, and retain the classic sense of humour needed in these types of games (well most of them). Looks like a good time to be a fan of the genre. Lots of great games to come in the months ahead!

Best wishes to you all.

Taking into account some of the replies, and thanks everyone, i have just started to play Runaway 2. Im hooked already. Monkey Islandish, this game surely is. Well here goes, lots of long nights and strong coffee....lol

Can't believe so many games mentioned and not a whisper of Gabriel Knight. Shocking!!!
Since you don't mind old games, that's definetly something to keep you going till Gray Matter comes.

Well he said ..

:)

Darn! You got me :p lol
Was and still is. (1, 2 and 3 especially IMO)
Not yet. ;)

I am actually looking forward to "A Vampyre Story," (as Udvarnoky has already mentioned) and "So Blonde." I do not know how the story, the characters etc. will be. But I am quite fond of the art-direction; needless to say, they greatly remind me of MI3; especially “A Vampyre Story.”
I do hope that both of them will turn out great and that I will enjoy them once I get a chance to play them; but for now, I can only wait and see.

As for other game suggestions that are out right now: I guess I would have mentioned “Runaway” as well, even though I was never able to get into the Series; I might have to give it another try someday.
