Default Hi all, new here!

Hi everyone. New member but long time fan of adventure gaming. As a child of the 1990s, one of my many obsessions was any computer or console game with the name Lucasarts printed on it. For me that was the golden age of gaming in the same way that the 60s was to rock and roll. Pretentions aside, I am also a very big fan of films, amongst those is Back to the Future. Preorder? Check. PC? Check. Mac? Check. iPad? Getting it in February The trailer has me absolutely psyched. It looks like it takes off right from where Part 3 left off in terms of look, feel and sound.

Some other gaming favourites of mine:

- Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

- Sam & Max

- The Last Express

- Doom 1 & 2

- Duke Nukem 3D

- Quake 2

- Anything Half Life

- All Tex Murphy

- Deus Ex

- Broken Sword 1 & 2


I'm also an avid gamer on the DS and PS3 platforms plus i'm also looking into trying out gaming on the iPad in February when the second generation model is released.

Look forward to getting to know you all

If you enjoyed LucasArts' Sam and Max Hit the Road, you'll find Telltale's Sam and Max games just as brilliant. Monkey Island, too.

It sucks. It's basically just your average go-kart racing game, but with horrible controls, and hundreds of glitches.

Welcome to the Telltale community! Like Molokov said, as a fan of the LucasArts Sam & Max game you'll also love the games from Telltale.

See you around on the forums!
