Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?
Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

Recently downloaded and completed Monkey Islands 1 and 2 off of the xbox marketplace. Enjoyed revisiting the old jokes and puzzles but with shiny new graphics and all....
but its just not the same as when i was on my Atari for hours, scouring computer mags for "tips" on how best to use my rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle et all.
they dont make action adventure games like they used to, and the internet has killed off puzzle solving

I recently did the same on the PC.
I can recommend giving the new Tales of Monkey Island a go. They were better than Monkey Island 3 and 4 I reckon.

It's undoubtedly one of the finest adventure games of the last decade, and it's hauntingly beautiful and atmospheric to boot. You can probably pick it up for a fiver.

If it was that would be amazing :)
I've got a version of the SCUMM emulator with a few oldies on it somewhere, loads of the old Lucasarts classics running on the PSP :D

I don't think there's many games that could compete with that one :)
Broken Sword 1,2 and 3..the Phantasmagoria series were a bit weird.
7th Guest and 11th Hour were mental too.
Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle were the only others I can think of right now.

clocked all the broken swords, never played phantas.
liked the dark half (steven king book) but some of my floppy disks were scuppered so couldnt get past the 2nd act.
discworld was pretty good too

Even the second one, although the first was better because it was voiced by Chris Barrie

Monkey Island is undoubtedly the best adventure game series ever, EVER, but we did love King's Quest round about the same time.
