Escape From Monkey Island.
This game is so, so good. It's everything you want a game to be - fun, relaxing and challenging. It's just such a good game.
For example, I played today. I started by talking to a pirate who runs a perfume stall, and managed to take an empty bottle from his counter. I then decided to make my own perfume, which, to date, contains water, a dead fish and some wood shavings.
I then decided to ruin two people's chess game by distracting them and allowing the other person to cheat. I then stole their clock while they were arguing.
I then told a young girl outside the bank that I fancied her. She rejected me because I couldn't kick start her singing career :-(
I then went up to an Australian man's house to see what was there and to try and find something for my perfume. I found a flower. I then went inside and talked to the Australian guy. I got to challenge him to a sword fight and tell him he had the sexual appeal of a Shar Pei.
This game is soooo good, and cheap too, only 14.99 most places. Get it.

Meh, buy it second hand someplace.
Only annoying point is if you do something wrong late in the game and save you can't correct what you did wrong or re-do it, so you have to start over.
Hint: Save before you throw any rocks down any holes in Monkey Island.

... And I have a Mac, so chances are it won't work.
They have it for PC, though..
Aw, crud.
SR don't have it for PS2 - so I can't change my GAD claim.
Bah!

Oo, I like Broken Sword.
Might get it.
Might get it right now ...

It's like Broken Sword.
Is it a free-roamer of just one of those games where you have to do challenges to finish the game? Like Broken Sword (What a game...)
