4631.0. "Secret of Monkey Island?????" by NEST::CURRY () Tue Mar 26 1991 19:33

    I was in a software specialty shop over the weekend and I happened
    to be looking at the various game software available for the IBM
    compatible computers. I saw a couple that really caught my eye;
    one being LucasFilm's "The Secret of Monkey Island",and the other
    "Kings Quest V". 
                 I'd like to know if anyone out there has heard whether
    or not either of these games will be available for the Amiga soon?
    I'm hoping so,as the graphics on these games seem to be outstanding!
    (I'm a fan of the RPG's; what can I say?)

	Hi Mike,

	Secret of Monkey Island should be in the stores in the next
	days. I've seen it once over here in Europe, so I think it'll 
	take not long to be available at any good shop.

	BTW: I've tested it on that strange little thing they call a
	computer - PC it's called I think :^) - and though I didn't like
	the Lucasfilm adventures up to now, I was very impressed.
	The story is one of the best so far, and all those little jokes...

	It nearly reaches the standard of the old Infocoms.

    Hi Helmut,
               We have the game over here,but I was wondering if Amiga
    planned on a version for their system in the near future? Was the
    copy you found in the store for the Amiga or a PC?
    Where are you located,anyway?

	Mike,

	sorry I'm responding so late but I wasn't at the office for a
	while.
	I saw Monkey Island for our Amy now at a couple of shops over
	here in Austria. And believe me: normally we're the last ones
	who get new software.
	So I'm pretty confident that it'll be available in a shop near
	you soon.

	Good luck, Helmut
4631.4I've got it!KBOMFG::MRAMIREZTue Jun 04 1991 02:537
    I've got Monkey Island for the Amiga, and I've the german version, that
    means that the english version should already be on many stores over
    europe and north america.
    I think the game is great!
    For any questions reply.
    
    regards,           Miguel
