Hi everyone! I'm still playing catch-up so forgive me if this was mentioned earlier. I have 25 pages left to read in this thread. Something I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else yet: The END OF THE GAME is what they used to PROMOTE THE GAME. They created an actual Melee Island set for Gamescom, and everyone was playing around, taking photos and enjoying the whimsy and excitement of a new Monkey Island game, completely unaware that they were walking around in the final room. That must have been super surreal for the people who knew! Ok. Back to playing catch up...excited to read everyone's theories!

Ron has also expressed (perhaps jokingly) in re-doing Maniac Mansion. Kind of like an Evil Dead / Evil Dead 2 situation. I'd be happy as a clam if they waited and the new version of Maniac Mansion got a collector's edition release that includes both games. At the same time, a proper re-release of the original game as it is would be very nice...

Great to hear!

Great work! Not sure if this would be an appropriate place to share "bugs," but I found that DREAMM doesn't know what to do with my "Classic Adventures" compilation versions of Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken. The Classic Adventures installer produces an EXE, but it runs from a BAT file. I thought it was weird 25 years ago, and I think it's weird now. Apparently so does DREAMM, ha
