Excellent video Spexxy! I look forward to more!

[@RetroSpexx-yt]

Thank you kindly. I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

Lovely work Spexxy, and welcome back! So many great games there, so many memories!

[@RetroSpexx-yt]

I know right? 😃

[@xx7secondsxx]

The BEST... hands down!!!! The Monkey Island series!! #1 & 3 are perfection!!

[@G-B420]

I loved Zak Mckracken. Great shout. Wish they'd been a official sequel.

[@RetroSpexx-yt]

It truly was/is an amazing game, and a sequel, even now, would be very welcome indeed!

[@stublad]

Oh, one other thing I forgot, Ron Gilbert contributed some code to the original Habitat client and Chip Morningstar wrote the original SCUMM compiler, so there's a nice little connection between Maniac Mansion/Monkey Island and Habitat ;)

Great work, looking forward to the LucasArts installment. Zak McKracken will always have a special place in my heart. The first adventure game I solved with no hints. Not that it wasn't challenging, but oddly logical to me at 15.

[@RetroSpexx-yt]

I know what you mean, it was one of my first solo completed adventure games too... weird, but strangely still logical in a warped kinda way, which somehow worked for me!

[@sammymarlo]

Cool video! 🙂

[@RetroSpexx-yt]

Thank you to each and every one of you who have watched this video. It had been a while since I had last uploaded and I was not expecting many views at all, but with nearly 300 in just a couple of days, I've been totally blown away and appreciate it more than you can possibly imagine. You guys are awesome! ☺️

33:20 actively waiting.

[@Ifinishedyoutube]

Never saw one of your videos before. Don't make me read. But so far I'm on board. 7:43 Good job so far.

[@lancebaylis3169]

I think I played the Indiana Jones graphic adventure even before I'd seen the movie. Which made the movie feel like an odd, truncated version of the game to me.

[@RetroSpexx-yt]

Both movie and game are awesome for sure, but if you played the game first, then I can understand that.

[@Ifinishedyoutube]

33:01 I'm sorry, I don't like interactive forms of media that are set in fantasy or like the past. I tried with the assassin's Creed series but ezio dragged on too long and they lost me. Game of thrones was the first fantasy thing that I actually cared about and Debbie Weiss and yeah, the other fspkturd ruined that show over the last three seasons because they got tired of it. I just can't do fantasy. I haven't played elden ring. But I have been playing the fspk out of armored core 6. While listening to whatever's going on, on KZbin.

[@RetroSpexx-yt]

That's fine, everyone is different and we can't all like the same things. It's our individual tastes that make us unique and interesting. Gaming is about having fun, as long as you enjoy the games you play, that's the main thing. 🤓👍

[@brentgreeff1115]

cant understand a word with the background noise.

[@RetroSpexx-yt]

@brentgreeff1115 I'm sorry to hear that. 😔

Fark Lucasfilm

[@RetroSpexx-yt]

A welcome surprise "Fark!", or an offended, insulting "Fark!"? 🤔
