yeah in 2008.
And how many remembered to not get screwed over by the plank?
I.... don't remember. I remember beating the game. But I also remember looking at a guide towards the end because the month as almost over. Hmm. The TR thread on that game is still around here somewhere....

Here... but no one got into any detail about how stressed they were.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

they'll be a thread for that.
Season 1 came out in 06 which is a bit new for this. It is far more likely that we would do something like Maniac Mansion, Myst, or a -Quest title. We like to select games on atleast three platforms if possible. There have been some titles that were not on three (Snatcher for example).

Huh, I thought it was earlier than that. Never mind.

Myst might be interesting I guess.

it's still last-gen, so I wouldn't be totally opposed. We did do Godzilla Destroy All Monster Melee last year. How many platforms was Sam & Max released on?

I'm considering playing Myst as part of my Summer challenge this year... maybe I shouldn't if it's a possibility for TR 2012.

Sam and Max Episodes were released on the PC, Wii, and 360.

I am all for playing Myst or one of its sequels: Riven, Exile, or Revelation, for next years TR. I havent played Myst since the mid 90s...and it is on damn near everything including the DS and the Iphone. Then again, it was my idea to play Deja Vu.

check yr PM history fast, it was my (BAD) idea to play Deja Vu.

I'd be up for Myst. Maybe I'll take it off my Summer Gaming list.

Why did I think Sam & Max was on PS2?

ScummVM is available on just about any platform you'd like. It also supports a lot more than just Lucas Arts games now. Pretty much the entire Sierra catalog is supported (Gabriel Knight is a notable omission). I'd definitely play Sam & Max.

Myst, I'd probably play just to give my CD-I a spin. But I played it back in the day and wasn't impressed. It is completable without help, as I did that. Finished it in one sitting on a sick day. All it took was being observant and taking notes. Personally, I think this game is hugely overrated and had a terrible effect on the adventure game market.
