I've just noticed that amazon.de are selling the complete Tales of Monkey Island collection on a DVD. Wha!? Why!? How come the whole collection is available in Germany but no where else? Or does this mean it'll soon be available elsewhere too?

There was English DVD collection, but i think it was limited.

Just got my hands on this, the collectors edition of the Tales of the Monkey Island.

Inside the box(shaped like a treasure chest) you get a cloth map, pieces of eight coin, voodoo card, Trial of the Century badge.
Pretty cool, eh?

Ha Ha sweet... almost 15 minutes after writing my previous response I have just
ordered and will pick my copy today of 'The Tales of Monkey Island' collectors edition.
Awesome. I am so excited.

Wow, that's unbelievable packaging. They must have put a lot of effort into making that.

Well I Have been playing it over the weekend and I was hesitant at first about the 3D aspect (remembering how bad Monkey 4 was) but I have to say its very good, fun to play. (although a little too easy). Not sure about the single click as I feel its taking away a lot from the original game mechanics...and making it feel like a totally different genera of adventure (if thats possible)....
but it works on its own merits and because of the solid story, great humour it feels pretty good!
I would like to of seen this done in 2D hand drawn/painted background but I understand its easier to do it in 3D (less work I guess) but some of the environments seem empty and without life. But apart from this I am still enjoying it and am loving old Guybrush's voice once again.

I've completed all of the Tales of Monkey Island and i have to say they get much better as they go on, the last few episodes are classic MI, great scripts and voice acting, i hope they do more in the future

Got them all for my Wii, pretty good. Apart from the last episode where Guybrushes hands kept disapearing.

I have just heard Telltale are now bringing out the Kings Quest episodic adventures.
Now Is it me or is Telltale producing water down version of these Adventure games.
Now although I appreciate them keeping the games alive for a new generation.
I some how feel there developing them for a much younger audience. Like 8-13 year olds.
The Puzzles and problem solving are way too easy. The navigation has been dumbed down
to a single mouse click and the visuals (graphics) are to say the least... Simple. The 3D just makes it look
like a cheap & crappy children's cartoon which lacks any detail and is completely void of any charm & character. (although the back to the future games are improving on this style)
Lastly whats with the episodic adventures... its becoming very popular.... I don't know why people like to pay several times for a short episode that last about 2 hour when really we should be getting the full game in one hit!
Now I know a lot of people will disagree but is there anyone else that does agree
with my sentiment on this.

Absolutely. Tales of MI is not even really a Monkey Island game in terms of the puzzles. The style and deviousness of the puzzles that we had in 1-4 were just not there, though it tried very hard. The only one that came close was the very last puzzle which a bit like the MI3 end puzzle.
