The above is being rereleased for Linux too. This makes me tempted to buy it. It's been 15 years since I last played it and I remember it being amazing.

Was it that good BCF? Or was the very young me just easily pleased? Laughing

fcking amazing...for its day but still a brill storyline and characters.
not sure if it was a microsoft game. Others to watch out for are Sam and max , Monkey Island , Duke nukem , State of War.

Never got to play it first time round as by the time I had heard of it wasn't compatible. I love the SCUMM/PaC games, DoT, Monkey Island, Broken Sword etc. Another good one is Full Throttle, great game with added bikes with many exhausts.

Full Throttle was bloody hard. I remember being stuck for ages on a bit where you had to kick a wall for some reason.

I still have Grim Fandango for PC, stupidly I never got into it properly. I think I was more interested in flashy PlayStation games at the time.

I think I'll buy it, if for no other reason than to support a Linux compatible game. Laughing

I need to get this and finish it... I kind of lost interest (for shame!) plodding around the vast third act (the port city) back when it first came out.

I'm also praying someone finally hacks the reissued Monkey Island (the first one) so I can play with the old graphics and non-shit old interface but keep the voice acting.
