Just had a 5 minute go and it ran perfectly, everything worked even in fullscreen with no lag or visible loading at all.
runs better than on the 3GS

I've played it up to Blood Island so far and it runs perfectly. Only three tiny things I've noticed:

1. You have to manually switch to Click-and-Drag mode every time you start the game (it would be nice if Click-and-Drag could be automatically activated in MI3 and FT when touchpad mode is off)
2. The seafight controls don't react too well (but as far as I remember, that problem was already in the original game) - it's not that bad and playable even in hard mode though
3. The colors in the savegame preview are off. Also, since opening the options acidentally performs a right-click, every savegame preview shows the inventory.

As you can see, these are all very minor things. In my eyes, the iPad is the ideal device for point-and-click adventures, and Curse of Monkey Island is much more fun on it than on a PC.

I've had some more time to try this, and apparently, Blood Island is as far as you get with ScummVM on the iPad (same probably goes for iPhone) - I can't seem to nail down the bed in the Hotel room because whenever I close the inventory after selecting the nails, Guybrush takes a step aside and the bed snaps shut. It seems we need a hotkey to close the inventory without moving.

edit: Never mind, it works when you exit click and drag mode.

Just to confirm. It runs amazing and is so far the best showpiece for the iPad for me!

I played it 100% on Mega Monkey mode - there are one or two times you need to disable click/drag mode so you can close the inventory while holding an item.

Other than that it's incredible on the iPad and pisses all over the iPhone version!

Regards
