Speed runs of SMB are overrated. Now this was a challenge. Though personally, I'd have better luck with SMB than any one of those adventure games.

I love SCUMMVM games. Best there ever was.

I like how the candle sort of helped serve as an "evidence against faking" meter...

Man, How I loved scumm games. I truly grew up on them. My very first "cd rom" game ever was a Game CD by Lucas Arts, that had Indiana Jones, Loom and Monkey Island. I played those games non stop. Truly the very pinnacle of adventure games. Too bad lucas arts pretty much abandoned the genre to pump out the 324968237429387428397423 star wars branded game clones.

I like this...

Haven't played half those games, but the Monkey Islands were awesome and Full Throttle was the best. However, I never did beat The Dig... got stuck putting a turtle skeleton together.

Played all of those -- one of them on floppy, one from a Telnet download and the rest of them (up to Sam & Max on) on diskettes before people started calling diskettes floppys. Fuckin' hell, Zak McKraken and the Alien Mind Benders was one of the hardest and coolest adventure games of the bunch. I defy you to beat it without cheating. And Loom! Holy awesome, an adventure game using music -- loved it! All of them. I won't even bother commenting on the rest, because they're all well-known classics. (Except maybe the Dig, which was good, but too serious for me.)

But what about Grim Fandango?
