I agree with this, the Legend of Kyrandia series are a great couple of adventures. Colorful, lighthearted, interesting puzzles and a wonderful soundtrack for it's time.
It's one of the adventures I used to play in my childhood together with my father. Playing the game and trying to solve the puzzles together was always a lot of fun and something we both looked forward to. Granted this was in the days before internet so it wasn't that easy to look up a walkthrough if you got stuck:)
Stuff like this always makes me think of Pantip Plaza in Bangkok. It's a fairly large mall where they sell almost nothing else besides hardware and pirated software.
Once in a while the police will raid the place to show that they're cracking down on the illegal software business. They will keep an eye on the place for a couple of weeks and after that just give up. After that, the vendors will just take up their usual spots again and it will be business as usual. It seems like this cycle just goes on every year with no real progress being made, and I have a feeling that it's the same in China.
All those stores would be open again in a month, selling all their stuff like nothing has happened. It's just a publicity stunt and nothing else.

Kyrandia can also be played through SCUMMVM. All three games can be found here http://www.abandonia.com/en/game/all/The+Legend+of+Kyrandia+Trilogy. Though the CD-Rom versions are even better with some strong voice acting.
Heh, one of my favorite scenes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqNac7Fz1Uc
