So how is this game? The Quicktime trailer looks great. I do not nor have I ever owned a Mac game. Well, except for Who Wants to be a Millionaire, but I don’t count that. I love adventure games and this and Alice look like good candidates. I’m headed for the Apple Store in Tysons Corner in 2 weeks. I need some suggestions. No way I’m driving 200 miles out of my way and walk out with nothing!!

That’s awesome, Scott!  Have fun at the store.

Escape from Monkey Island is supposed to be a dandy game, but I have not played it.

Just got Tropico from the good people at MacSoft.  It too is supposed to be dandy.  Hope to let you know soon.

I am a BIG FAN of Baldur’s Gate.  I have played a preview version of Baldur’s Gate II as well.  It looked even better.  It MIGHT, and I mean **MIGHT** be out when you hit the Apple Store.

I played both The secret of Monkey Island 1&2 with great fun. That was the time, back in 95 when adventures didn’t require a 64 bit AGP card for 3D, but the plot was the important thing.
And now there’s monkey Island 4. I think I’ll buy it.
The only sad thing is that they never ported Monkey Island 3, but I guess I’ll use VPC on my G4 and play it there.

Scott, one thing, you’ll never buy a wrong game from LucasArts. Atleast it was so icon_wink.gif .
