I haven't looked through all of it but at a quick glance: EMI: There's 2 Chinese versions, Taiwan, Traditional Chinese and China, Simplified Chinese A rip of a Korean version has surfaced recently but as its a rip rather than cd images we cant be sure if its a fan-translation. From memory I think the dates looked ok so there's a decent chance its legit. Russian versions: I don't think these are official, every version I've seen for the different games has been a fan-translation.

I would love it if Tales could be remastered by Skunkape, they've done such a good job on Sam and Max. Speaking of...Devil's Playhouse is out and reviewed get it bought everyone.

Certainly, if someone shares cd images of it. We've never been able to track it down beyond seeing it on ebay.

Ogg tracks are for ScummVM, with DREAMM you'll need to import the original cd image.

I think you can rip the N64 soundbanks into a soundfont. Maybe try doing that and then playing the midi using that soundfont.

Merged the post into this thread. Good stuff 👍

For CMI we have cd images for all except Russian and Korean. I think Russian is a fan translation and as you've found, just a rip for Korean. We do not have Chinese EMI and Grim. I'm not sure about Grim being an official release. I know there was a Grim Chinese fan translation and it seems unlikely they would have gone to all that trouble if there was an official version available.

As elTee said, Fate of Atlantis Japanese is the big remaining missing one but there's also some games for which there are ripped copies but not disk images. (Ripped refers to a copy of the files from when the game has been installed). Disk images are much better for preservation and its easier to tell if they've been modified. If you have any of these games or know someone who does please let us or Aaron know. Do you have any of these?

Saw this today and thought of this thread: https://en.todocoleccion.net/video-games-pc/monkey-island-2-le-chucks-revenge-edicion-arte-limitada-personalizada~x372703554 The price is ridiculous of course, but its nicely done.

A basic example of that here https://skynetde.github.io/scummvm-shader-comparison/

For posterity I am answering my own question, there was indeed a BBS contest demo. Its the non-interactive demo that we already have. That demo that we have is unpacked, the original was in an installer file and came with README.TXT and CONTEST.TXT that explain the competition. Here they are: README.TXT: Thanks for downloading the Day of the Tentacle demo. This demo has voice and music for those of you with a Sound Blaster or SB compatible. Adlib users will be able to hear the music only. To run the demo just type "install". Follow the onscreen instructions You will need 535k free memory. A small help file is available by typing dottdemo help. Be sure to enter our demo related contest for a chance to win this zany new game. CONTEST.TXT APRIL 15, 1993 "Read my suction cup . . . no more taxes!" Are you forking hard earned cash over to Uncle Sam? Elect Purple Tentacle ruler of the world, and never pay taxes again. After all, when tentacles come into power and humans are kept as pets, you'll never have to file another 1040 form (of course, you'll also be forced to sleep in a cage and do stupid pet tricks at human shows). Is this the warped ranting of a crazed, power-hungry politico? NO! It's the warped ranting of LucasArts Entertainment Company announcing its newest game, Day of the Tentacleª. This sequel to Maniac Mansion¨ is a wacky, interactive cartoon comedy in which you must stop tentacles from taking over the world.

Sounds like something that could be done on Mojo maybe? In the past we have talked about doing things like that for the games database.

Both Darkside detective games are great. Kroms recommended them to me ages ago and I've since completed them both.

Me too. Monkey Island Heardle #298 🔉🟥🟩⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ #MonkeyIslandHeardle

Blondebeard's 25 year, long game has finally reached its end. I look forward to the announcements of Psychonauts 3: Razputin's Domain and iMuse Island the album.
