I rebuilt the logo using the main poster. It's slightly different from the ones floating around the web, so now it matches the one in the actual ad. It looks like they painted out some of the coordinate grid from the map (probably to not clash with the text overlay). I might do that eventually.

The Sea Of Thieves version of Melee Island makes up a few short alleys behind the church and store. But it only puts a short covered archway between the clocktower and High Street, which according to the above discussion can't be entirely right. It does at least make up a short path between the Scumm Bar and Low Street. On the whole though it seems at least a loving recreation, and an accurate-enough one too, as far as I know. I'm sure people with more intimate knowledge of the games and island will be more than happy to correct me though

Oh, we’re ripping into this again? Because I’m ready to go down in flames proving how I was right. I also can’t prove this but I heard @Marius bribed Dave and Ron. Just something I heard.

It’s also how they’re referred to in the game’s source! As learned by @Marius and Frank Cifaldi when excavating it for the VGHF chat with Ron Gilbert. Also your post was a great read!

For a relatively small community like Melee Town there's actually not really anything that screams "not a church" to me. The front's all stained glass, but the sides don't need it, especially if what we're looking at is actually the part of the building given to the rectory, where the priest lives.

30 years and now I have to rethink everything. >:

Can I just say how much I love this site and Marius specifically

The fact that it was something they had to think about for MI6 is huge praise, Marius.

I think this is a ScummVM bug if you were using that. I spotted the same thing myself but when elTee ran it through DREAMM he didn’t get the same. 🤔

For god's sake, look at the psssst. And yes, I realize I'm getting into "the grassy knoll" territory here. ¬

As for the portal, that was pretty much cracked here previously, I do believe. We are traveling down quite the portal here ourselves it does feel like.

Or…

This was always my interpretation: a building behind the church.

I am so happy that we already have a evidence-board-like image with multicolor lines and circles. That‘s what I was hoping to see in this thread. I love this forum. ❤️

Another pair of things I forgot to mention is the at the store seems to end pretty quickly in the street view, so unless there’s a further appendage at its back it doesn’t really make sense. Also, if we did accept #3 despite the church incoherence, the street outside seems far too thin to be the street we know and love. The real secret of Monkey Island.
