I think they really need Monkey Island to come out on DS!! The profits that they would make and all the fans of the Monkey Island series they would impress and make happy :D

I think my life would be complete if they released its awesomeness :P

What do you mean "Could be good"?!

The Monkey Island games were some of the best adventure games ever made! All they would have to do is put the first two on a DS cart and it would be gold. Or they could remake one of the first two with crisper cartoon graphics and better audio and that would be great. Or they could just release the third or fourth and that would be great too (although I would much prefer the third).

If the OP was suggesting they make MI5 for the DS I would want the original team to work on it (Shafer/Gilbert/Grossman). Although LucasArts has pretty much said their not going to make another MI.

You already can if you've got the disks around, via ScummVM.

Monkey Island on the DS would be awesome. Its been years since I've played any of the games.

I wish they would release all the old point n click adventure games on DS. Why in the world they ported a game like myst instead of all the sierra games is beyond me. I would pay $100 for a Quest for Glory collection disc for DS.

That would be cool. I like adventure games, so I wouldn't mind seeing more come out for the DS.

I remember having the first 2, not sure if there was a third one. They were pretty interesting, but I couldn't really beat them myself because I was so young back then, I had to get walkthroughs to go thru some of the parts.

Well, there IS a method to get them on the DS. It's just... slightly illegal...

But yeah, it would be awesome. I loved the MI games, especially 1+3.

Is there any game on DS that has a similar humour and charm of monkey island?

My teenage daughter wants a DS for christmas. having seen a few games being played by friends.

I asked her what type of games she wanted: she said something like Monkey Island! She and her sister grew up with the evolution of the series.

Runaway ds is similar to monkey island and has a lot of humor. I played the pc version, but didn't finish it because I didn't wanted to use walkthroughs :p (it's kind of hard)
The game didn't get a very high rating though.

For the pc you can also play runaway 1 (which is just a little cooler than part two, of wich also the ds version is based on)

here's a trailer:
