@Marius' wonderful thread on the MI1 alley has brought me back to a topic I wanted to post about some time ago...
We only see most of the islands during day or night. Actually, only "Tales" is the exception with Flotsam Island in chapters 1, 4 and 5 (and maybe the EGA sunrise in MI1). Now, I'm sure we've all wondered what one or another place looks like at a different time of day - and luckily there's a source or two to give us a little idea here:
MI1 - Parts of Mêlée Island during the day (Fanart videos, apparently even playable)
MI2 - Booty Island at night (Official Concept Art)
CMI - Plunder Island at night (Fanart)
CMI - Blood Island during the day (Fanart)
Maybe there are even more of such wonderful "what ifs" out there? If so, why not post them here, too?
I find it totally exciting to see these places in a different light and mood, as it directly changes the whole scenery. Plus, it leads to certain mind games, such as:
Where do the pirates go when they're not in the SCUMM Bar?
What does the Voodoo Lady do when her store is closed?
Does Carla also spin back and forth in front of her cabin during the day?
What does Stan do in his spare time?
(Same questions for all the other games of course!)
Sure, there are no concrete answers to any of this (so far), but it's fun to think about. Let's see what happens!
