/vr/ - Retro Games

There's nothing wrong with people just now getting into older games, nor is there anything wrong with emulating older comps and software at this point. I still prefer a hard copy of my games, though.

Y'know, I've tried getting into Maniac Mansion (Been putting off Day of the Tentacle until I beat part 1) but it's difficult for me to keep interest. Which is strange because I fucking LOVE Secret of Monkey Island (I still have my copy from when I bought it brand new back in the day).

Is it sad that up until recently I always thought there was gas for that chainsaw somewhere in the game? Every time I started the game up I'd grab it and keep my eyes open for a gas can or some shit.

Also, this second IBM version that's supposed to be superior: I'd like to try and find it, is there any difference on the box between it and the original IBM release?
