Here's my back story, I'm nearly 30 years old and I have grown up with computer games. I had an Amiga 500 as a kid... I played MI1 & 2 and loved them, all 11 floppy disks required per game. We had a dodgy Windows 95 PC that couldn't run anything but I insisted we had to have MI3 & 4.
As far as consoles go I got a NES for xmas 1989, I've had a SNES, N64 and Gamecube. I switched it up after that and bought an Xbox and after that an Xbox 360. My present day gaming habits involve countless hours roaming the Xbox Arcade for old games I remember from my childhood!
So when I saw LucasArts' remastered releases of the original two MI games I couldn't believe it! I got both straight away. Now, one day I saw news of TTG's ToMI and thought yeah okay I'll give it a go. Which self-respecting MI fan wouldn't have! I downloaded it on my mac played it and loved it. Telltale did a great job! But it was a gateway drug for me. I downloaded Back to the Future on my mac, based on my ToMI experience. I downloaded both of the available Sam & Max games on xbox, played them, loved them. I regressed in age and downloaded the first Wallace & Gromit game on xbox and found it surprisingly enjoyable. And of course, I have played through the entire Walking Dead series on the xbox and thought it was the best TTG effort to date....
So what do I play now!? Ideally an xbox version of MI3 but I know that is a matter for a LucasArts forum! There has been no news of any kind of ToMI port to xbox live. I'm making a really long-winded point here but basically... I am a console gamer first and mac user second and I really want to me able to play ToMI on my xbox. My sister has it downloaded on her Wii, so why can't they manage it on the xbox!
I have a massive wish to see Curse of Monkey Island and Grim Fandango on xbla but I will navigate to the relevant forums before I start ranting about those old beauties.
