Well, in the end I think we can all agree on one thing, and that’s that The Curse of Monkey Island is the best LucasArts game with the best verb interface.

I mean, I'd say that's pedantic to the extreme. It's the same concept. You just like Curse's implementation better... that doesn't make it a different thing.

I think maybe the confusion here is that Thunderpeel said that COMI *perfected* "the modern verb-based interface", not that it invented it or even that it invented the 'verb coin/tattoo'. Full Throttle used the concept before COMI, but didn't use the exact same version as COMI and so this doesn't contradict the opinion that COMI perfected it. (I agree with TP that COMI's version is slicker and less fiddly, but I do still have a fondness for FT's metal af version and respect it for coming first.)

I’m glad you did some analysis on this. I was almost going to get some sheet music out or record each using the same instrument to show the damn things are the same. 😅 I think with things like this it’s easy to get thrown off by the stylistic differences, but for sure that is the same melody.

The full throttle one is my preferred one because it had a hole in the middle to see where your cursor was. In Curse the object you’re interacting with is covered by the coin But I do like the wheel interface in general. I’m surprised more things didn’t use it.

So what you're saying is... Disney are selling these fine leather jackets https://www.shopdisney.com/indiana-jones-leather-jacket-for-adults-2840057819027M.html?isProductSearch=0&plpPosition=2
