I love Monkey Island, but it sometimes seems to me that there is a lot of fanboyism about it. It has it's flaws. And for all that it was fun, the first two, for example, has the kind of thing that we would hate to see in a modern game (I mean, use a monkey to close a pump? What kind of "logic" is that?).

C'mon, the world has moved forward, and there were some great adventures developed after Monkey Island. And though the genre was dead, it was in the commercial sense: there still were some people making adventure games, and now more than ever with the tool there are out there.

So please, let's enjoy the good games, not only the old games.

P.D: Yes, I know this is a site about abandoned games, but not all abandoned games are old games (although they tend to be). But that a game is old doesn't necessarily means that a game is good. And it's getting on my nerves the growing number of game-snobs that says a game is good just because it's old and to try to be oh, so old skool and hardcore and shit.

I have played an adventure game where one needs to bind dynamite to a rat to open a door... and there is a certain critically acclaimed adventure game which featured a rubber ducky & an iron clamp...

Use the monkey as a wrench to turn off the pump. You never heard of a monkey-wrench?
