Where is Guybrush Threepwood?

He has graced our CRT Monitors for 15 years, and no-one bats an eye-lid?

But on the list, I'd say gordon. NHS specs make a hero.

Mr. Threepwood, aka 'Fancypants' is the lead guy in Monkey Island, some of the best adventure games ever.

Also I think were 'Murray the invincible skull' got his name from.

Good topic!

Shinobi on the ZX Spectrum was a great game, random point #3425. This reminds me of a similar thread from last week. Emulators one in Conversational. Can never have too many of these threads though

The amiga was cream coloured (ish), CREAM! What kind of colour is cream for a computer? You may as well paint a rockport and burberry logo on and have done with it.

Now all someone has to do is mention Day Of The Tentacle and we have the LucasArts greats all mentioned in one game...

God, I loved that game.

I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an "Escalator temporarily out of order" sign, only an "Escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

Its that simple?

F*CK!

I was looking for some really indepth thing to do it. I think too much for my own good at times I really do. See, i was convinced I'd missed something somewhere down the line and kept backtracking and finding nothing, so me being me, i was then convinced their must be a bigger thing i hadnt done or Id missed a section out... B*ll*cks!

Well, this is my weekend sorted out now. Thank you!
