This new studio better lawyer up.

3 hours and 45 minutes is not even my longest interview. Aric Wilmunder and Larry Ahern are 4.5 hours each! (Aric Wilmunder was so great and so into the conversation that we kept on talking for 1.5 hours off the record after we finished recording, which means that we both sat for a total of 6 hours and talked!) All of my interviews are recorded in one session. It's problematic to recorded a video interview in several sessions as you can clearly see on both people that it's not the same day (clothes / lighting / etc.). I tell my guests that they can ask for a break whenever they need one and I just edit that out. I usually finish recording these sessions at 3-4am in my timezone so I would have preferred to do it over several sessions, but again, it has to be in one session for authenticity.

Back with a bang, baby! Monkey Island Heardle #426 🔇🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥 #MonkeyIslandHeardle

It looks like it's reached the end of the list. I'll get the next set of music sorted for tomorrow/later today. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Updated to a slightly longer version, now including the "searching around" music, followed by the Raider's March B theme, once Indy falls down. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zwM7HDfSuhbfLCUms06cyegtqke6M8MH/view?usp=sharing And an image to go along with it. Edit: Should I just start a new thread, even if this moves along only slowly?

DREAMM 2.1 is officially released for Windows, MacOS, and Linux targets (x64 and ARM64). DREAMM is a bespoke emulator for LucasArts titles running on DOS, Windows, and FMTowns platforms. Download it here: aarongiles.com/dreamm/ Link to what's new (also copied below): aarongiles.com/dreamm/docs/v21 What’s New in 2.1? DREAMM 2.1 sports a number of significant upgrades over the original 2.0 release. In short, the major changes are: Greatly enhanced Windows emulation to support new games: Indiana Jones and His Desktop Adventures Mortimer and the Riddles of the Medallion Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire Star Wars: Yoda Stories Outlaws Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith Star Wars: Behind the Magic Star Wars: Episode I Insider’s Guide Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine Extended support for Windows releases of Star Wars: X-Wing, Star Wars: TIE Fighter, and Afterlife.

Added an OPL-based MIDI emulator as a fallback for all platforms. Games can now be installed via the command line. Added limited telemetry to notify me remotely if DREAMM runs into problems.

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time! I was part of the community back then. Met many of you guys there for the first time. I remember the puzzles. I remember some of the games they pitched. I still have no idea how "iJet" would have worked. I remember "Project Joe" for which I still have the demo installer on my NAS somewhere. Is there some kind of archive of that era, e.g with a list of games, the puzzles...? I also remember email correspondence with Mr Kierdorf personally. A wild time.

Alright, Simon Jeffery next.

OK, I've re-shuffled and added the tracks again - reminder, this is a reset! When I get a chance, I'm going to throw some Return to Monkey Island stuff in there as well. Eventually I'll rewrite it when I find some time.

Great interview, as always! Do I need to flee the country? He's coming for me!

About that, almost done:

A very old different attempt (end titles, though - and without most of the percussion, and some panning issues in places that I never fixed) - towards the end of this video. 🙂 Was actually thinking about getting back to it with newer samples. But I really like your arrangement so far. 🙂

No problem! To be fair I wish I missed this, I remember I spent quite some time obsessively hitting refresh on the Bad Brain homepage for news about Sam&Max FP. You definitely dodged a bullet!
