Even EMI is worth a play, but both CMI and ToMI are truly great. Mind you, MI2 remains the best. <br /><br />@ Igor: I have to admit I might have found EMI too difficult due to incredibly cumbersome controls. After all I did give up on it pretty early. CMI on the other hand felt easy. After all, I started it right after beating Discworld 2 in a marathon session.<br /><br />@ Pacian: Only doing my best dear friend. Glad you can finally see the slight differences in the twins. Excellent!gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497613771780431048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20638322.post-26114388889934061952010-04-07T23:50:08.281+03:002010-04-07T23:50:08.281+03:00I think for the first time, I just realised that R...I think for the first time, I just realised that Ron Gilbert isn't the same person as Dave Gilbert.<br /><br />So very informative post, Gnome!<br /><br />;-)Pacianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15674211302650875387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20638322.post-76551309309886635552010-04-07T23:20:19.147+03:002010-04-07T23:20:19.147+03:00Nice concise history!

It's got to be the PC. After all the mouse is king!<br /><br />Oh, and you really must play the series.

You mentioned the PC CD version of TSoMI, would you recommend a particular platform as holding the best versions of the other games? Or just to go with the Dos/Windows versions? Good article=)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
