Monkeys. Little fellows with hair. Lots of hair.
Why does everybody find monkeys funny. It is one of lifes most complicated questiosns that just cannot be answered. Could be their jumping-around-making-monkey-sounds approach to everything in life. It is a mystery.

Monkey Island 1 to 4

Time-splitters 2

Ape Escape

These are just some examples of games that just go to show that without monkeys, the world might be a terrible, unhappy and dark place.
Personally I would like to see more monkey-related games.
A real-time strategy game with monkeys in it. That would work.


What is everbodys' opinion about monkeys and monkey-related games?

in real life Dk would be a gorilla, but as its a game he can be called a monkey of sorts :P


games that should have been monkey-fied:

Monkey raider
Monkey-zero x
Monkey Sunshine
Monkey of empires 2: the age of kings
Monkey-kombat: deadly alliance (monkey island's version doesn't count)
etc

Install as normal as far as I'm aware (Its been a while since I've used the program, and my brother did all the installation), run the program and point the virtual machine to the game files as far as I'm aware.

He's recently been in touch and said he'd played Sam N Max on it, so I know it works up until that game.

Glad to be of help.

Notice how he casually misses out Super Monkey Ball, the single greatest Monkey game ever.

You're not a monkey fan. *Slap*
