Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition hits the App Store photo

It is now possible to play Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition on the go. This morning, we were surprised to find the Special Edition version of the benchmark adventure title on the App Store. We knew it was coming, of course. LucasArts has been delightfully silly about the possibiliy of an App Store port. But we didn’t know when it was happening.

The title weighs in at 351 MBs and currently costs $7.99. According to the “Application Description” of the App Store page, the title is a faithful port of the recent rerelease. It includes voice acting, the ability to toggle between visualizations, and a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle.

Color us excited about this release. We’ll hit you with our impressions soon.

I hope they don't release a Mac port. I really don't need to buy a 3rd copy of this game (ignoring the 3 versions I bought of the original).

What the heck? It's two dollars cheaper on the iphone? What gives? I kinda feel ripped off.

nice game... lacks the clasic choice meny at the bottom. Imstead you have to either scroll the middle mouse button or press on the key board guessing what you can do

Bit of a shoddy port compared to the others. The character's mouths don't move, even in classic mode, in the coversation with Mancomb Seepgood, whenever he moves his face, especially when laughing, you can see tearing, like they only moved part of his face, and didn't redraw all of his beard to accomodate the difference. Finally, dragging the cursor around instead of just tapping on the items/interface? I sincerely hope there is a patch released to give it a more natural touch environment. I love this game, but I doubt I'll ever play it much on the iPod.

to be fair , graphically it is alot worse than the pc version. Still looks fantastic , if i had an iphone i would totally buy it. I just completed it on pc last week though and it was a great remake , kept everything from the original in tact!
