TUAW's Daily App: Monkey Island 2 Special Edition
Oh, you need more? This is one of the most beloved LucasArts adventure games of all time, and it's actually two games in one. They redrew and recorded all new voices and audio just for this edition, and you can switch between the old and the new games at any time. It's got a new control scheme, or you can point and click your way around the old control scheme. It's hilarious, beautiful, still original, and just plain captivating.
Oh, and it's usually $7.99 (in fact, the iPad version is still priced at $9.99, even during this sale). Just go buy this game right now! This is a crazy bargain for iPhone gamers, and you should consider yourself lucky to have it.

This will be the shortest Daily App post I've ever had to write. LucasArts has inexplicably put the iPhone version of Monkey Island 2:...

Inexplicable? I think it might have something to do with September 19th being International Talk Like A Pirate Day.
Last year LucasArts gave 50% off The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition.
Looks great, definitely going to get a copy. For free. Off of apptrackr. Thanks for the heads up.

I had the original game on my old 486 with a brand spankin' new Sound Blaster and I was blown away. Now I'm blown away again by the revamped graphics and voices. Kudos LucasArts.
"You have the sex appeal of a shar-pei!" "I look that much like your fianceé?"
(and just how does Guybrush fit all that stuff in his pants??)
Since I bought an iPad, I find it hard to play these kind of games on the iPhone. I wish developers would use Universal Binaries more, especially in cases like this where 99% of the code is probably shared anyway.
