You might want to pick these up if you haven't done so already, great point 'n' click adventure games.
From the Steam page:
Back by popular demand, The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition faithfully re-imagines the internationally-acclaimed classic game (originally released in 1990) for original and new audiences alike. The development team at LucasArts is bringing the game into the modern era with an all new re-imagined contemporary art style, a re-mastered musical score, full voiceover, and an in-depth hint system to help players through the game’s side-splitting puzzles. Purists will also delight in the ability to seamlessly switch between the updated hand-drawn re-imagining and the original classic version.
The game's twisty plot leads our naive hero on a hilarious, swash-buckling search for the fabled secret of Monkey Island. Tales of pirate wealth lure him to the port of Mêlée with high hopes, no money, and insatiable curiosity. If clever enough, he will win the confidence of Mêlée's pirates and find himself blown by the winds of fate toward the terrifying and legendary Monkey Island -- an adventure that would chill the bones of even the most bloodthirsty buccaneer.

I fear todays 8 year olds would find Monkey Island boring and frustrating. Sadly they seem to much prefer shooting virtual prostitutes in GTA then enjoying the craftsmanship of LucasArts' classics.

I'm still here watching the tumble weed blow about as everyone on HUKD is scrabbling around the Steam sale to find stuff to post. :laughing:
