Hey Everyone,
I just picked up my macbook pro and i was over a friends house and he was talking about The Curse of Monkey Island games. I never played any of them but he said they were a lot like one of my favorite games of all time "Day of The Tentacle". I did a quick search and i was reading about SCUMMVM running in OSX with PC copies of these old LucasArts games? So can anyone give me an idea what SCUMMVM is and if i pick up copies of these games for PC on amazon/ebay can i run them on the pro?
Thanks

-EDIT
I just was reading up on "Escape From Monkey Island" is there anyway to run that on my macbook pro?

ScummVM 0.10 - MacUpdate

Runs all the Monkey Island games (minus Escape from Monkey Island), either from PC, Amiga or old Mac versions.

Since EfMI only runs on OS 9, and there's no Classic for intel macs, your only option is to run it under Boot Camp (or possibly a VM like Parallels)
