I just purchased "The Dig" game. Lucas Arts re-released the game on Steam for only $4.99 USD. It is an old game from executive producer Steven Spielberg. Since, I had nothing better to do and spare change so I bought the 2 games. I never could get the game to work properly the first time I tried to play it and back then there was no Internet to look up the walk-through when I got stuck.
I also bought and completed "The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition" game for USD $9.99. It was exactly like the original except they added voice work and enhanced graphics to the new release. The game was kind of funny just like the other sequels in the series. It took me only a day to finish it.
It's weird that Lucas Arts is re-releasing its old games on Steam now. They even released "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis". Last time I checked, Monkey Island was among the top sellers this week.
Steam is starting to resemble iTunes for games. It's good that one can buy the old games that I used to like and play them for only a few dollars instead of buy those expensive $40 - $80 ones. Last time I checked, Sierra's 'King Quest' Series had a "Coming Soon" banner on it.

How To Burn X-Box 360 Games
What you need:
- YOU NEED A MODDED XBOX 360 (FIRMWARE FLASH DRIVE).
- USE Imgburn to burn the game iso.
- You need DVD+DL Double Layer disc 8.5GB (recommend Verbatim disc Made in Singapore not India- cheap media i.e. HP and Memorex will cause problems).
- You need A good DVD dual layer burner (recommend Pioneer DVR-115D)
Always book type to DVD-ROM when burning some drive's do this auto some need to be set in the burning program. - You might want to defrag your hard drive first and close any other programs running when burning.
- You should also uninstall any other burning software you have on your computer.
- BURN AS SLOW AS YOUR DRIVE AND MEDIA WILL ALLOW 2.4x recommended.
If you're already have a DVD burner, I recommend you update the firmware on it for better media compatibility better burns. - ImgBurn 2.4.1.0 gets the latest version http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
Instructions:
- Open Imgburn. Make sure "Mode" is set to "Write"Book typing (tools>drive>change book type) set it to DVD-ROMs a Pioneer burner's do it auto.
- Ensure that if you have more than one drive, the correct one is selected in "Destination".
- Insert a DL DVD+R in drive let the drive spin while ImgBurn reads your blank disc.
- Browse for, and load, the .DVD file for your game. If there is no .DVD then load the disc image [game image].iso instead.
- The information on the left will now be filled and the layer breaks of 1913760 Will be displayed there. If it doesn't then stop and recheck everything!
- Select burn speed burn at 2.4x, some people burn successfully at 4x.
- You can check the "Verify" box if you want, I never do, it takes ages and you find out far quicker if there is a problem with the completed disc when you put it in the 360!
- Click the burn icon in the bottom left corner. At 2.4x it takes about 42 minutes.
- When the disc reaches 100%, you still have to wait for the disc to finalise. At the end of the burn you will get a small pop up box telling you the burn process has completed, simply click " OK" on the pop up box.
