I'm aware, although I didn't play Tales in German yet either, now that you mention it.

Ah, I didn't realise the video had English captions! I was watching it in native iOS Safari like an animal. That's really impressive! It's interesting to see how much work has gone into making just the first half of the first section - I can only imagine the number of sheets involved in making a more complex part of the game, never mind programming it all. The Tiptoi itself looks like a nifty educational toy - I had a quick look to see if it's available in English but results were inconclusive. 🤔 Even the most promising listing on Amazon said something unhelpful like "English not guaranteed"! I wonder if Ronzo's educational games would be a perfect fit? I've never seen them, but I'm guessing they're designed to have more limited interactions.

He did Escape and Tales as well.

The German version was also my childhood version, which I have not played for a while now in favour of the native English. They got the German voice of Guybrush, Norman Matt, to return to Monkey Island for Return to Monkey Island though. So maybe I'll try that on my next playthrough.

When my daughter was still playing with her Tiptoi, I looked into hacking it for a short bit, but gave up quickly as printing seems to require a laser printer, which I don't have. Still, it seems to be relatively easy if you just want to swap out sounds. The guy from the video put together a much more technical overview of how scripting and producing images for the Tiptoi works, for thoses interested (English subs available):

This is fan-tas-tic!! He really made a board game-like construction out of it, and appearently it works really well! (Added nostalgia value: a friend of mine accidentally bought the German COMI version once, and for a long time it was the only voiced version of the game we had (next to the demo). I haven't heard these voices since we got our hands on the English version though, so it was fun hearing them once again!)

The video has CC, so maybe that helps. More context about the Tiptoi: It's an electronic toy pen that you can use on various products from the same line. Books, puzzles, board games, even figurines. You tap the tip on seemingly normal paper and it magically knows what you point at and plays a sound. The magic has been reverse engineered, and is a bunch of microscopic dots that form codes (imagine tiny QR codes, each 1mm²). The tip has a camera that reads those codes. Additionally to playing sounds, it can set and read variables and branch based on these states. So you could say it's quite a bit like SCUMM. This guy basically wrote an adventure game engine using the pen's limited instruction set.

I have no idea what's going on, but this seems good and/or cool.

So my daughter is old enough to have and love a Ravensburger Tiptoi. Of course I was curious if you can hack it, and of course you can. So I thought, would it be possible to do some kind of point and click adventure game? And of course it is, and somebody already did! Naturally, the person is German 😉 Enjoy the second most obscure Monkey Island 3 fan port I've ever seen

Finally got my dispatch notice on the "upgrade kit" yesterday, so it looks like those are being sent out now. Would imagine it will be arriving in 1-2 weeks or so.

I so agree with this. The endless tiny details make exploring CMI so rewarding to explore and even get stuck in.
