Arf!

I've downloaded it on PC, going to give it a go.

Having started the topic I began musing on my favourite P'n'C. I always thought it was Curse of Monkey Island. But, controversially, I think it's actually The Dig.

I know it's not the best, but there was something about it that really captured my imagination as a youth. There were times when I genuinely felt I was learning about a new alien civilization.

Will do!

Day of the tentacle, beneath a steel sky and full throttle were my jam, however the first broken sword was the best.
