I was luck to play the PC versions from a Hard Drive, so never had to worry about the disc swapping most Amiga users were plagued with.

Replayed Secret a couple of years ago through ScummVM and it's still fantastic.
LeChucks Revenge is somehow even better though. It's a masterpiece of P&C design and arguably the best game in the entire genre.
Curse of Monkey Island is really solid as well, even without Gilbert at the helm. Looks great and has some fantastic characters.
The Telltale, Tales of Monkey Island was ok, but its very easily forgotten.

It's only really Escape that lets the series down. It just never transitioned to 3D particularly well and I remember being utterly frustrated with it, especially with the Monkey Kombat section later in the game.

Might do a replay of them all in the run up to this.

Really excited for this. Actually only did a binge watch of YouTube videos about the first game a couple of weeks ago. Never quite got on with LeChucks Revenge as much as the original. Perhaps that's because I played the original as a kid and so it has all the nostalgia associated and I only played LeChucks many years later. Love Lucasarts point n clicks so much. Might also do a playthrough of either the Monkeys or Lucasarts.

Do we have any idea when this is out?
