This is great news for fans who were pissed about the cancelation that occured earlier. The only drawback now initially you can only get via gametap then a couple of month earlier when the contract terms expire the developer gets to sell the on their own website.

still, I'd wait until I see some reviews and such, the only thing I dislike (besides episodic content
) is that the game would've been GREAT with cel-shading...oh well....on a side note, I never get tired of "Hit the Road"
so this one has a lot to live up to....

Maybe a port of Sam & Max: Hit The Road for the DS will gauge interest. (And yes, I am aware of SCUMMVM for the DS, but I mean an official port.)

let's hope they do ^___^
and I don't think that Hit the Road, as awesome as it is, could be ported.... (talking about legal issues, not technical
)

use DOSBox or SCUMMVM

What's SCUMMVM?

There's probably a Wikipedia article on SCUMMVM. I think SCUMM stands for something like "SCript Utility for Maniac Mansion", and VM is "Virtual Machine". It's a way (an emulator, I guess) of running SCUMM-based games (many LucasArts games, but also other point-and-click adventure games like Simon The Sorceror) on many, many other platforms, including the DS. It's amazing how well it works.

That's enough of a pain for me to call it a pain.

I mean, seriously, that's reminding me of the Bob The Angry Flower comic where he has to press two buttons on a machine to get money any time he needs. But he keeps pressing just one and he can't be bothered to figure out that he has to press two. Honestly! :P

only that mounting C:\ is not recommended

Settlers 2 works pretty slowly on DOSBox and Tyrian doesn't work at all...
But enough about me, what can I do for you?
My little friend here needs to use the facilities.
Screw the facilities, Sam, I need a bathroom!
