    Nice to see Monkey Island coming out on top (and also MI2 being close)...
    In a lot of ways it's simpler than some of the others, as it doesn't have extensive animated cutscenes, or voices, and the puzzles are mostly quite simple...
    But it totally nails it where it counts - amazingly atmospheric locations and top notch comedy writing.

    Common misconception, regarding the intent for The Dig script to be made into a film, when the idea actually was for it to be part of his "Amazing Stories" TV series (TV, Film... semantics lol). The 1987 (actual) film Batteries Not Included was also intended to be part of the same series.

    • @YakWaxLips
      @YakWaxLips  Pƙed 28 dny +1

      Yeah as I was editing this I realised what I said. I purposely didn’t write a script for this video like I usually do as I wanted more of a relaxed feeling and there are a few things I could have recorded again but thought, huh, nevermind.

    Shows how well made Grim Fandango was that despite the terribly clunky controls it’s always so highly regarded

    Shame MI2 wasn’t top though!

    Interesting that zak mckracken came in that low, I personally enjoyed it because back when this game was like half to 25% of the lucasarts adventure game library, it was worth playing. But compared to what came after, yeah its no fate of atlantis or day of the tentacle.

      @@YakWaxLips Curse is a weird one since it wasn't made by Ron Gilbert and graphically is so different, and arguably is more "comedy" than the other two. But remembering how many disliked it when it came out I've been astonished how beloved it is. Seems most who played Curse first prefer it.

      I think every LucasArts game at some point had a stupidly obtuse puzzle! Monkey Wrench being the obvious one.
