I played the first, maybe not all the way through, on my Atari ST. Later on, I got quite annoyed that the Amiga got the sequel but Lucasfilm Games days it wasn’t coming to the Atari.

I remember getting the PC CD-ROM edition of the original game and the music was lovely.

The next time I played was game three, Curse of Monkey Island. I loved the art style and completed that one.

I plan on playing the latest installment at some point. I downloaded it onto my Xbox.

There’s also a great program for playing old Lucasfilm faces on PC. You can load soundbanks into it because it can emulated different midi interfaces that I dreamed of owning back in the day. The tunes sound amazing.

  It’s an emulator for playing the entire back catalogue of Lucasarts games. It’s very well documented and ready to use. As I said, if you had some kind of general midi set up or Roland MT32 back in the day, you’d be laughing. The music is awesome.
  
  The program is called Dreamm.
  
  DREAMM is a backronym for:
  
  DOS Retro- Emulation Arena for Maniac Mansion (and other LucasArts Games).

    I only discovered it myself in the last month or so.
    
    For example, I loved X-Wing CD edition back in the day for the real Star Wars soundtrack but I need to try it with MT32 midi emulation. I bet the iMuse system sounds fantastic.
