At Macworld Expo 2010, Telltale games officially announced their foray into Mac gaming with Tales of Monkey Island. Likely, it couldn’t have been a better choice of games; it’s a franchise familiar to Mac gamers, it harkens back to a time when Mac ports were commonplace, and it’s a comic adventure that appeals to both casual and serious gamers. Two of us here at Appletell have played through the game, so we decided to have a quick chat about how this new episodic adventure turned out.

I’ve apparently been so busy exploring Monkey Island for the Mac that I didn’t realize Monkey Island is coming to Mac. Telltale Games recently brought us Tales of Monkey Island, and now Aspyr is also sailing back in time to bring us The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition. Originally released for Xbox Live Arcade and PC last summer, this special edition can be pre-ordered now through Aspyr’s GameAgent service for only $9.99.
