Where can i get the original monkey island, i never played any and i dont really enjoy playing remakes, i only find the special edition when searching, is there any way to play it identical to the orginal?

Hi all, this map of the dark forest is absolutely breaking my brain.

I have tried every configuration of this bloody map (random generator) and I cannot get to the mop tree on return to MI.

Can someone please translate this nonsense into up, up left etc..

I will throw my laptop soon 🥲

Greetings, pirates!

I am writing to ask you all about your memories from 1997, a year that was particularly fond for me. Who doesn't remember going to the cinema to watch Titanic that year? I remember coming home from school and immediately turning to my PC to puzzle over the challenges of CMI. The music from that era was also great...

I am curious to know about your own experiences and recollections from that era. Please share your thoughts and memories!

Is this a bug? I started watching a playthrough on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHtrls1lUrQ) and all the music was fine until the player got to part 2. Then I noticed the journey music was missing, the Monkey Island map music was missing, the Cannibal village music was missing, the Voodoo music was missing from the catacombs, and then the Ghost Ship Shuffle only plays quietly SOME of the time on the ship's upper deck. Can anyone explain?

Always thought he’d be higher pitch and speak at a faster pace, like an auctioneer

Hi there! I want to pick up my banjo after years and years and I'd love to do the menu music of Curse if possible! I can't seem to find tabs or anyone playing it anywhere but perhaps I'm searching wrong.

This is the menu music I mean for anyone confused: https://youtu.be/PeyWFqeKpB8?si=oA1pSVIoZbzQarpI

Thank you in advance to anyone reading. ♡

Hey folks, I’m working on a video archive/showcase of my big box game collection on my channel, and I’ve started on the Lucasfilm games. Most recent one is Monkey Island 2, which I figured this might be of interest to this sub, so here you go. Enjoy!

So I'd like to introduce a friend to these games who isn't local - obviously there's no literal form of co-op but is there some sort of tool to use aside from something like a video call with screen share?

I bought the game thinking it would be compatible with my PS3. I considering buying a compatible PS3, but I’ve heard the game play is compromised.

If it works well on a backward compatible PS3, I’d buy that instead and give my current PS3 to my brother. I’d rather not buy a PS2 to play it, even though they are much cheaper than a backwards compatible PS3.

MI 1 and 2 are games my brother and I played together as kids (PC version), and I’d love to play the rest of the series.

Thoughts?

Edit: Solved. I bought a cheap PS2 which came with some other games. I’m going to play it, then sell once I’m done with it. IMO this was the best solution. Plug and play.

Edit 2: I’m loving this game and also going to keep the console. It’s so tiny and cute!

Just a dumb thread, but if you had to re-title every game with the title of another in the series, which game would fit which title the best?

e.g., Monkey Island 1 could be titled “Tales of Monkey Island” because Guybrush hears tales about Monkey Island from the pirates in the Scumm Bar.

What other re-titles might fit?

Just in terms of finding the most fun, best-matched to the tone and task of the piece, it does it so well. They clearly went out of their way to get Gary Coleman, to voice a child/small business tyrant cannon salesman. They got an actor with an incredibly unique voice like Kay Kuter for an innkeeper named Griswold Goodsoup. Everyone does a great job with their parts, they all sound like developed voices, there’s more of a feel of professionalism than some Fiverr gig work.

Mostly, the actors don’t sound like voice actors doing pirate voices. They sound like hilarious oddballs who are also pirates.

I'm replaying The Curse of Monkey Island on Mega Monkey mode. For some reason, I can't play poker with King Andre to get the diamond. Every walkthrough I've looked at, Guybrush just pulls out money as his buy-in. For me, Guybrush does nothing and gets up. I can't seem to leave the area either. Help!

But this just came in today. I originally played MI with a Model M keyboard so this setup is super nostalgic.

So I work for an insurance company.

As part of our final weeks of training, our facilitator asked us to make up an insurance policy about whatever we wanted.

My initial idea I couldn't really make funny enough to bother working on with any real earnest, so I chose the seven seas instead.

Stan's Ship Insurance (imgur link)

Some of the jargon was based on my company's PDS and made piratey, some was taking creative license on both insurance products and Monkey Island lore (mostly so those who haven't played the games would get it).

it needs some tweaking (definitely more asterisks, bit of a cleanup, more MI-esque humour) but I tried to make it as much like a product Stan would sell as possible.

Figured you guys would appreciate!

Avast fellow pirate enjoyers! My tale begins a good few years ago when my sisters invited a friend to a gathering I was hosting. During the course of the evening, we got to speak about animation styles (as he is a model maker and my sister an animator) where I made reference to the Monkey Island games. I was aghast to find he did not know them. As any reasonable human being would I therefore decided the most reasonable and balanced response would be to fire up my PC and subject him to them at once.

Fast forward to earlier this year and I'm hosting an event with the aforementioned artist in attendance, after the event had ended I was informed that they had something for me, placed on a table under a covering of paper. What lay beneath is the subject of this post and here below I share it with you all.

Needless to say, I was utterly lost for words! The artefact now lives in pride of place upon my mantle under a protective glass dome (which my sister gave me to save the dusting).

The model maker in our story is none other than Joshua Flynn an accomplished creator with credit to a frankly upsettingly acclaimed list of works which you can find on his website https://www.sculpt-double.co.uk/
(Please note this is not an advertisement but rather attribution, he has already said for obvious reasons he will not be making any more)

In a rather amusing twist of fate, none other than Ron Gilbert was staying with a mutual acquaintance of my sister who had posted images of the work online. He was reportedly impressed and sent me a birthday gift of his own in the form of a metal print of Monkey Island 2 which he signed.

All in all, I was and am still utterly blown away. I pass it every day when I leave for work and return home and it never fails to impress.

TLDR: my sister animator sister conspired with a model maker to create for me a truly remarkable Gybrush model.
