You now have no excuse not to. The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is $2.49 on Steam, today only. $2.49! That is chump change. Especially for one of the greatest adventure games of all time. Buy it.
P.S. Hopefully this is the last post about deals for a while.

The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is continuing to do extremely well on the iPhone App Store, and has consistently remained in the Top 5 since it’s release, which for a game priced at £4.99 is no mean feat. The overall majority of reviews are very favourable, saying it’s a great port, with the only complaint being a control issue that is taking some people some time to get used to, but others have no issue with control at all. People are crying out for more of the same, and are hoping that the rest of the series is remade and released on iPhone too. Veterans of the series and newcommers alike are finding the experience of carrying around Monkey Island in their pockets an enjoyable one.
With this success, does this mean LucasArts will be releasing more of their treasured adventure games on iPhone? Will we be seeing a Day of the Tentacle port in the near future? Only time will tell, but hopefully the success of Monkey Island can only mean good things ahead for LucasArts adventure game fans.

Update: The game has been confirmed by LucasArts and added to the app store. Go check it out for yourself!
After much speculation and hint-dropping by LucasArts about bringing Monkey Island to iPhone, confirmation has been found in the form of a Google advertisement that The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition will be brought to the iPhone App Store. Apple policy prevents developers from announcing titles until they are released, and no official LucasArts announcement has been made, but this is as close to confirmation as you can get, especially after LucasArts president Darrel Rodriguez as well as the official LucasArts twitter feed gave us the old “wink wink nod nod” on whether we’d see an iPhone release. From checking the App Store on my iPod Touch, the game does not appear to have been added yet, but I think we can expect an announcement from LucasArts as soon as tomorrow or perhaps later this week at Comic-Con.

Having played only a few adventure games in my life, I wondered what all the fuss about the LucasArts adventure games was. Being a member of LucasForums, you constantly read how the Monkey Island games are not to be missed, and they appear in many a top ten list of games. When I heard The Secret of Monkey Island was being released as a special edition, I was glad, not only because I thought it would be great for the long time fans of the series, but because now I would finally play it.

If you hadn’t heard already, now you know. The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is due to be released on Xbox Live Arcade as well as Steam this Wednesday. The game will be 800MS points on XBLA and $10 on Steam. So all you readers have no excuse not to purchase it! Remember, if this one sells well, there may be more on the way.

Another suggestive message via the @LucasArts twitter feed today, implying that we’ll see The Secret of Monkey Island : Special Edition as an iPhone release shortly.
“@lucasartsgames – For our Monkey fans – an iPhone sized wallpaper. No reason. Wink wink nod nod.”
The lovely LucasArts rep who has been updating the twitter feed has also been giving out codes for free steam games, so keep your eyes on that! You have to be quick though. Someone generally works out the missing letter within 2 minutes!
