Secret of Monkey Island coming to 360?

Yes, it's been an awfully long time, but it appears that The Secret Of Monkey Island is coming back, and to the Xbox 360.

The German USK rating board has revealed that The Secret Of Monkey Island - Special Edition is on its way. This was the very original Monkey Island game, from all the way back in 1990. As for what makes it a Special Edition is currently unknown -- could they be re-doing the graphics? Could the game possibly have a voice cast?

The rating suggests that Activision might have some involvement in the project, but most likely this is simply Activision Europe rating the title for LucasArts, as they are the European publishing arm that LucasArts use. We can only assume this is an Xbox Live Arcade title, but there is a slim chance that this is a retail retelling of the original too.

This will be awesome if true. I miss the old point and clicks. I play the Lucas Arts ones through SummVM on my Xbox, and they're very playable on a joypad.

Yep, 4 of them but 2 was definitely the best. I didn't like the style they went with for the last one, so I didn't really play that.

The latest one ended up going 3D or at least cartoonish 3D, but yeah the first 3 were the best ones.

Along with Sam n Max the first one of those was great, ah the memories.

The Dig is an awesome game. Bit slow to start, but stick with it and the story picks up very quickly. One of my favourites.
