It’s the game Huz has patiently been requesting for literal years: Monkey Island Frantic, now in beta testing. For those not familiar with the concept: Pieces of a screenshot from a Monkey Island game will rapidly appear on the screen. Type in your best guess (or use the auto-complete function) of what location the scene is from in the text field. Click “Guess” to submit your answer. You have unlimited guesses because that’s how gosh darn generous we are! You score on guesses, not time. Taking a few seconds to get a clearer overview will make the game a lot easier. For the beta phase, I'm looking for bugs, and also checking on the difficulty level. Apparently Mojole is too hard for some of you chickens. Anyway, play! I figured out Monkey Island Frantic #1 in 9 seconds using 1 attempt. 😍 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Frantic/

OK, because of popular-ish demand: Screenshots from MI1/MI2 should not show the verb/inventory lines anymore. Chicken mode: Reduces the interval to 1s (from 1/10s). Speedrunner accolade: After the CEO sat me down and gave an inspirational lesson on his gameplay philosophies, I implemented a special accolade for those who finish the game in fewer than seven (7) seconds. (Not in chicken mode, mind you.) Added a "Give Up" button. A few performance improvements. … and I think that's it. https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Frantic/

Aight, so we had one or two spam posts slide through our spam filter, likely because we forgot to renew our forum license. Whoops! It has been taken care of, and we’ve also put in a (temporary) admin-approval step for new accounts. Also, the end-of-year polls have concluded – the exciting results will be revealed soon.

Walmaker1987 on the LucasArts Adventure Fans discord (the 1987th of his name) has been putting Psychonauts into Day of the Tentacle: (Amended to rudely copy-and-paste from Discord, rather than rudely hotlinking from Discord which stopped working after a couple of days! I should have seen that coming, and kinda did.) Which is pretty Raz. Er, rad. HOLD ON. That's the same guy as "somebody on Tumblr"! What are the chances? Pretty high I guess, because @EricMahler's post must have reminded me of the Psychonauts stuff without me realising. Oh well! It's good stuff.

Hold on...

We have a thread for our own Mojo-adjacent content, but we don't have one for great stuff by non-forumites that we spot. Let's start one! Here's an incredible DOTT fan animation: https://bsky.app/profile/imajunation.bsky.social/post/3ldbvw4lrls2q https://www.instagram.com/p/DDkYOhLNDe-/ (Sigh, of course my first ever one doesn't embed. Hopefully Blue Sky and Instagram will embed at some point in the future and this will magically fix itself!) Okay, let's jazz this up a bit. Here's an amazing series of PnC fan art by Jón Kristinsson: https://pointclicking.com/ Including this MI2 take:

It's an honor to be nominated. I feel like I could... like I could... like I could... TAKE ON THE WORLD!!

Here's a nice holiday themed thing made by somebody on Tumblr : https://www.tumblr.com/walmaker-artist/769335154757992448/the-edisons-are-well-prepared-for-christmas-this?source=share

A Shtick to the Past will remain there, though Ron's pivoting to another game that supposedly releases in only a few months.

Please someone patch the Amiga version to play this on the built-in drive. You'd only need three external drives to get the same number of channels as the actual Amiga music. (This is because the Amiga is the best)

I'm on the fence about the inventory part -- frankly, I was thinking it'd be too easy without it, but I might be miscalculating using Sushi and Huz’s Mojole levels as the baseline.

I used to play this game, but a few months ago it stopped working, so I decided to create my own version, which is now live on The Legend of Monkey Island website. It's still a Heardle clone with all the features you would expect, but I've made some small improvements. It includes music from Return to Monkey Island, which I think is a worthy addition, and the names should be easier to find (I hope). Also, there won't be issues with some music randomly not showing up in the search results, which I found quite frustrating. Today is an easy one so I'll go first: I guessed today's Monkey Island tune 🎵 in 1 try. 🟦⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ https://legendofmi.com/webgames/guessthattune/

Where am I going to get my Temu vouchers now???

Including solving a few Mojole’s and correctly answering a couple of swordfighting insults and “if this is…what is…?”

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Remi thwarts A.I. plot to take over the world!

There's always Xbox gamepass to stream the game to any hardware (even a lot of smart TVs). You just need a good internet connection.

Hi I'm here! Haha thanks! Yeah I still have a Grim Fandango thing I want to finish too (https://bsky.app/profile/imajunation.bsky.social/post/3l6zh33ta2t2y). After I did that and maybe a couple of others as well; I'll post a short compilation of everything on YouTube

Just finished it, absolutley enjoyed its up there with Fate of Atlantis with been one of the best Indiana Jones games

It's going to be 800x better!

Same. And in no way will I be able to wait until spring to play this on my PS5. Luckily my WFH machine is quite a beast, and I just successfully set up Steam Remote Play to stream the game to my laptop downstairs, hooked up to my 82'' TV. This will be glorious!

Found a easter egg linked to many past LucasArts games especially the Indy adventures

Gordy Haab's soundtrack album releases tomorrow, with samples already up at Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/nz/album/indiana-jones-and-the-great-circle-original-video/1783178826

Thanks Amazon. Nice and early

I figured out Monkey Island Frantic #5 in 7 seconds after 1 attempt. 😍 WOOP! WOOP!

Oh my god it’s happening

I couldn't name today's Monkey Island tune! . 🟥⬜🟥🟥🟥⬜ https://legendofmi.com/webgames/guessthattune/ Not if you couldn’t guess it? Showing all the tracks from a game? And/or at least making the pattern match so that if you type a - it matches everything beyond only to the track and not the game anymore. Two drop down lists (game and track)?

Good point! It’s now fixed: I guessed today's (Jan 3, 2025) Monkey Island tune 🎵 in 1 try. 🟦⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ https://legendofmi.com/webgames/guessthattune/ If you have suggestions for improving the name of the tracks, let me know. The game should be about identifying the music, not about figuring out the right name. I already tried to add the location/island to most of them (if applicable).

Again, this is just a big IF (not going to happen). Then again, just listen to how much more soul machines get when you inject a bit of MI:

I figured out Monkey Island Frantic #3 in 9 seconds using 1 attempt. 😍 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Frantic/ Now this is what fun is like!

Yeah, I'm entirely willing to accept it's a me-problem. Thanks for wanting to think of solutions though! Though I tried again, and maybe it's because the color palette between the images is more consistent, but it went a bit better this time: I figured out Monkey Island Frantic #3 in 8 seconds using 1 attempt. 😍 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Frantic/

I guessed today's Monkey Island tune 🎵 in 1 try. 🟦⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ https://legendofmi.com/webgames/guessthattune/ If I made a Monkey heardle-like game, you would need to name the game, the section/location and the version/soundcard. All from a drop down list so there would not be any guessing the parser meta-game. In true wordle style, things would turn green or yellow depending on how close you are. Getting a full correct answer earns you pieces o’ eight, which you can spend on hints (like a few pixels from the scene) or to listen to an AI generated version of any combinations you’ve submitted that do not exist - say, CMI option screen on PC speaker. So now you can finally listen to what the Woodtick tune would sound like on the Amiga! Of course the actual one (silence) would be part of the challenges to guess too.

I guessed today's Monkey Island tune 🎵 in 2 tries. ⬜🟦⬜⬜⬜⬜ https://legendofmi.com/webgames/guessthattune/ I had no idea for the first try, but an inkling after the second. Though I did cheat slightly by semi-accidentally reading Huz's spoiler >_> It was indeed a joke, sorry for worrying you! The game has been working great. The joke was that I was so amazing at the game that I needed even less than 1 guess.

Bleaching it afterwards would have ruined the logo as well or would have caused blue color bleeding over the orange, which is not the case. The logos were clearly printed after the tie dying. my guess is you may have found the only Jeff-approved * version of this shirt! I’d totally wear it. *Jeff from Maniac Mansion, but in this case the Dude would also nod approvingly.

As a large language model I am very happy to see this change implemented.

Just realised, the latest Mojo news post fits perfectly into this thread! Incredible to see the Klik N Play engine wrangled into an adventure game, and some neat fanfic tying together of different threads from the games: https://mixnmojo.com/news/Fan-made-masterpiece-Fate-of-Monkey-Island-now-a-streamable-experience

As I'm not on this list, does it mean I can win the prizes?

For those digging into the game, particularly before its general release, this is the place to talk about it.

It’s a very long game, I just had a very free and open weekend to play it with the early release. I’m also ashamed that I forgot Last Crusade in my ranking but remembered the Zynga game…

Even though I somehow don't manage to get much traction for this soundtrack, I've added yet another track: Crete Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (fan soundtrack) by Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, Michael Z. Land

I’ve only played about an hour so far. As an Indy fan I can’t stop geeking out over the game. The tutorial had the perfect location to kick off the game. I love the Easter eggs, particularly at Marshall College I'm not ready to say it’s better than Fate of Atlantis, but it’s getting pretty close.

Brutal Legend merchandise (pins) have recently been made available for purchase. https://gear.xbox.com/products/br-tal-legend-4-pin-set?_pos=1&_psq=brutal&_ss=e&_v=1.0

My latest addition: The Statue & Kerner's Escape Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (fan soundtrack) by Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, Michael Z. Land

Which, I'm sure, some on this forum have.

Hello everyone! When I think of the great graphic adventure games by LucasArts, I can't help but remember my first experience with them. I recall having to play them in English, as in my country, only versions directly from the United States were available. Back then, I wondered: why didn’t they release these games in my language? Over time, with the rise of the internet, I discovered that there were versions of these games across different platforms and in various languages. So, I set out to gather all the LucasArts games in my native language, but after some time, I asked myself an even bigger question: "Isn't there someone in every country who also wanted to play these games in their own language?" With that thought in mind, I embarked on an even more ambitious mission: to preserve the great LucasArts classics in all their official versions, in every language they were released in. It’s been over 20 years since that journey began, and today, after much effort, I’m sharing with you the summary of what I’ve been able to gather so far. However, I would love your help: if anyone has information or knowledge of a game that I haven’t been able to find on my list, I would greatly appreciate any insights. It’s important to clarify that this search is focused exclusively on official game versions. While there are fantastic fan translations created by enthusiasts, my goal is to ensure that all the official games, across all platforms and languages, are accounted for. I truly appreciate any contribution you can make to help complete this project and ensure that these great LucasArts classics aren’t forgotten, but continue to be accessible to everyone in their original languages. Thank you for your support!
