Actually, I believe Grim Fandango was already in production when The Curse of Monkey Island was announced and Grim was still a secret to us. The standard project time for a LucasArts title is, according to their website, 1.5 - 2 years.

There has been suprisingly many requests for the Afterlife MP3s in the last couple of months (like, half a dozen!) so I uploaded them temporarily for your convenience. As for the rest of them, most Monkey Island downloads are available at The Scumm Bar and... Oh, what the heck. Just use your brains.

My e-mail address, in case you need to contact me, is joonas dot linkola at iki dot fi. I don't know where the LucasFans redirect addy goes to now.

That's Krzysztof Kieslowski.
And, of course, you all still need to see Amélie. And, while you're at it, see Delicatessen and The City of Lost Children. Jean-Pierre Jeunet is a master.I love Amelie. Saw it in theaters for three or four times. Haven't had the time to pick up the DVD yet, though.

I've been having troubles with 42. My shoe size is 42, I ride the bus 42 to my friend's place, I've got several seats numbered 42 at theaters and such, the clock seems to be more often 42 past something than not and so on.

The original ARPANET was up and running as a 4-node network in 1969. (See here.) Pong, on the other hand, was introduced in 1972.

Was the WWWboard one the original Scumm Bar forum? That's the one I started using, IIRC.

Geckos are lovely and dangerous animals.

No, there isn't an official CMI soundtrack. There was a petition for one, but never an album.
-
*LOL* What a priceless thread this would make if only I had saved all the cursing (pun not intended) and bashing of CMI when it was first released. Ironically enough, when EMI was released CMI suddenly turned from a lousy sequel-wannabe into a worthy Monkey Island title. O tempora, o mores!

Some piano, and used to know how to play French Horn but probably not anymore.

What about the Hidden cutscene with Elaine chaging the switches, can I find it online of in the game? How and the waving Guybrush one...please
I don't think the one with Elaine controlling the rollercoaster was ever animated. There might have been storyboards (someone with the official player's guide could probably verify this) but not a completed version. After all, what point would there be in cutting a finalized cutscene?

Kind of ironic really, they got Mark Hamill to do voice-over for Full Throttle yet he hasn't been on any Star Wars title yet. (As far as I'm aware of, that is.)

Uh, starting to like them? Where have you been?

It's "compatibility", not "compatability".

What poor, unfortunate creature had to die for you to wear that?
My aunt Trudy, I replied.

I think that's pretty much the ultimate goal Jake is aiming at with this thread. Or am I wrong, Jake?

My vote goes on this one as The Most Useless Thread Ever.

Does this mean that you'd be willing to part with one? I'd get one off Ebay, but they always have a "little drill hole" in them to show they're out of supply or something.
The drill holes are usually on promo copies, ie. copies that are sent out to magazines or music stores for review purposes. The drill hole is there to make sure the review copy is not sold commercially. There's nothing to be afraid of, those copies often end up on Ebay since they can't be sold in conventional stores and are a great resource for a collector.

Damn, you know how many times fans asked for a CMI soundtrack? How many petitions were organized and sent to LEC? And to think that while you can extract all the music from the game CDs, people still wanted an 'official soundtrack'!
I'm only aware of one, the one that I organized?
By the way, you can also collect all these, (instead of commanding me to give you mine ) It is really hard to find some of them, but it's possible - I did. A year ago I had none of them, but now I have them all (besides the original Loom Audio Drama CD), and even 2 spare copies of The Dig Soundtrack.
I'm a huge fan of LucasArts soundtracks too, have been for over a decade now, and I have all the ones you mentioned (except for the Full Throttle mini CD). The Loom Audio Drama came out on cassette before the CD premiere anyway, so I have the cassette version (and a bootleg CD version, just for convenience). I wish there was more of the music stuff around though, I guess the commercial viability of the soundtracks isn't that great after all, even with the dozen of us enthusiasts around.

I've got:
#1 - Summer 1990
#5 - Day of the Tentacle cover, Fall 1992
#7 - TIE Fighter cover, Winter 1994
#8 - Full Throttle cover, Summer 1994
#11 - Winter 1995 (2 copies)
#14 - Winter 1996 (2 copies)
) It is really hard to find some of them, but it's possible - I did. A year ago I had none of them, but now I have them all (besides the original Loom Audio Drama CD), and even 2 spare copies of The Dig Soundtrack.
