Funny you should bring that up. Since finding ScummVM, which is a free tool to play all the old games, I've been working through the classics and THOROUGHLY ENJOYING IT!!!

So far I've completed:

The Secret Of Monkey Island
The Dig (wow, can't believed I missed it first time around)

and I'm currently half-way through
The Secret Of Monkey Island - Le Chuck's Revenge

Next up, 3 games I've never played...
Day Of The Tentacle
Sam And Max
Full Throttle

And of course, Monkey Island 3

All those are running on my PC. Back to your post of the iPHONE and Xbox versions - they've just done Simon The Sorceror too.
