E3: Telltale Breathes New Life Into
Monkey Island
The most exciting news to come out of the E3 hype bubble so far? Telltale tweeted just minutes ago that they’ll be bringing the classic adventure game Monkey Island back in episodic format, much like they’ve done with Sam & MAX recently.
GROG! GROG! GROG!
Monkey Island sort of embodies a lot of my childhood. It was the first game that made me ask, “how do you make stuff like this?” It was the first game that inspired me to get into game development, so to say I’m excited over this news would be an huge understatement. Of course, given the feedback I’ve been seeing on Twitter and across the web, I’m not at all alone in this.
Ron Gilbert, one of the great minds behind the original Monkey Island (and my digital Lord and savior), blogged about the news as well.
You can already preorder the first episode of the first season, and there’s a lot of awesome bonus perks if you do. I’ll take 3, please!
