The International House of Mojo

That's right. In a nigh-undisturbed, dusty GameSpot warehouse, diligent archivists have recently unearthed tantalizing clips of footage from a long thought-to-be-lost silent video game, Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse, Episode 2: The Tomb of Sammun-Mak! Makes that Metropolis restoration look like peanuts in comparison.

Well, go and check it out. It's only so often such a priceless piece of video game history is rediscovered.

(Actually, the trailer is hardly long-lost, but who cares? It makes a good news post, and admirably sets the mood for the game. Which looks awesomely old-timey, don't you know.)

Steam is launching for the Mac platform today and among the first batch of games are four LucasArts adventures: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Loom, and The Dig.

Each game will be available for $4.99 though you can also buy all four in a bundle at $9.99 for a limited time.

Thanks to Mac enthusiast clone2727 for the tip.

For those of you Monkey Island fans who have been freaking out that Dominic Armato, THE voice of Guybrush Threepwood, has not yet been confirmed as reprising his role in Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, Special Edition, worry no more.

LucasArts' MISE producer Craig Derrick has revealed on his Twitter feed that Dom is indeed on board for MI2:SE, and that his Luke Skywalker impression is top-notch.

(Yes, the tweet is from April 2. Shut up. Mojo is as timely as ever.)

Also of note is the background to Derrick's Twitter page. It would seem to be a MI2:SE character there!

Possibly the image is related to a comment Derrick made in the recent Gamespot interview with him, Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman:

"CD: Be nice guys [i.e., Gilbert, Schafer, and Grossman]. Remember, we did fix Guybrush's hair and put a very flattering caricature of each of you in the game."

Interesting.

And if you get the reference in the title of this post, you are far, far too much of a Star Wars nerd for your own good.

Or, to put it another way, Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse, Episode I: The Penal Zone is available now on PC and Mac!

What are you waiting for? Enter the Zone! You know you want to.
