Back when games were actually funny

Monkey Island 1-2 still hold up in the funny department!

Wow, ole Simon there is kind of a piece of shit!

He's a product of his times

This is a very funny parody of The Witness that does require you know and hopefully love The Witness for it to be funny. It's also not a bad short puzzle game in its own right, and it's free, so it's worth every penny.

I laughed out loud at least four times, which is four more times than I've laughed at anything for years...

He's very likable. Sure, he has some flaws, like being a misogynist, sexist, racist, bigoted, hypocritical, narcissistic, entitled, irresponsible, obnoxious, dishonest, pretentious, rude, mean, arrogant, greedy, judgemental, unreliable, ignorant, immoral, snobbish, self-righteous, immature character. But other than that, he's a lovable fella.

The game ends with him being bound to a pillory and the town throws tomatoes and eggs at him. Very unfair, if you ask me. Nobody's perfect. But things could have ended much worse for him, I suppose. These days, he'd get his whole life canceled by Twitter.

OK, so this one isn't very funny, so here's my attempt to make it funnier:

I have decided, and thus decree, that this thread shall now serve as a random dump of anything that's even slightly amusing in old games as I play through them. In summer, most people go on vacation, go to parties and have sex. I decided I'll just play old games instead.

I do love the idea of Simon being this "from another era" chauvinist. Just irredeemable.

Oh don't mince words, Nikos, tell us what you really think!

And the sickest joke of all was that here in the US, it was published under the Infocom label.
