The worst Indiana Jones was the tv series. I hated that Crystal Skull referenced it (riding with Pancho Villa) and made it canon.

I found my old TellTale account recently and couldn't understand why all my posts were about a missing 5th game. Now I get it. Sorry as well, Jake!
I was guilty of a “when will episode 2 drop” post. I now know it will release August 20, 2009. Sorry Jake and Telltale!

If we don't get a code, we'll probably just write something based on the screenshots.
But really, should we post something, we'll probably do what we've been doing over the last years -- an impression of the first two hours or so with minimal spoilers. (Then something larger a while later -- we're gonna milk this cow dry.)
I’m looking forward to the eventual (not to mention literal) secret history!

But how many primates are in the Monkey Island series?

Grim Fandango is a game whose narrative and environment aged much better than its gameplay and UI, in my opinion!
I have said the same thing when it comes to Psychonauts 1 (meat circus) and Brutal Legend as well. Amazing stories and environments, but the gameplay always misses at times.

I’m torn, it almost feels sacrilegious to not have my first playthrough be on the PC like the previous 5 games. On the other hand, I’ll get Monkey Island on the go (excluding previous iOS editions/Steam Deck).
What the heck, I’ll probably end up getting both.

In less than one month we will all be learning the Secret of Monkey Island. That’s such a surreal feeling.

Oh I see, we're doing the seafaring variation of the insult swordfighting technique here.

Or at the very least, a release date.
Or at the very, very least, more gameplay video.

I give them credit for showing restraint on changing the name of the SCUMM Bar to (New Engine Name) Bar.

That’s such a fun detail! The Legend of MI site has done such an incredible job showcasing details and Easter eggs that I never knew existed that I’ve been wanting to seek out details in the other Lucasarts games.
The only one that comes to mind right now is in Fate of Atlantis whenever Indy is in a pitch-black room, the room brightens slowly, as both Indy and the player get to adjust to the darkness.

I think I'd prefer to get a date first though so I can plan my series playthrough.
I need to plan mine out as well. I’m aiming for 2 runs back to back, one just to play and experience the game and the other to go back and explore everything in the environment.

Ahhh this is worth the 13 year wait!!

Wow. Was it just me or was that article terribly written?
Yeah… they did say that Ron Gilbert “had taken something of a steering role in Escape from Monkey Island”.

I’m excited that the Fate of Atlantis Special Edition team is still active even if it isn’t for their project.

I mean... I sort of read Thimbleweed Park as a Maniac Mansion sequel.
Thimbleweed actually made me change how I play Maniac Mansion. Previously I imprisoned or ignored Dave the full game. After talking to Sandy and him so pleasantly in Thimbleweed, I like to use him more. I pretend that he's the only character who can use the excercise machine; that gets it done!
I need to do a playthrough with Jeff, the poor guy can only fix the phone.

Maniac Mansion Deluxe was praised by Ron himself. It's a shame it's so hard to find/run these days, because it basically is the best version of the game.
I heard somewhere that Neil Cicierega composed some of the tracks for the game. Maniac Mansion Deluxe has to be the best fan remake of a game ever (sorry Black Mesa).

Return to Monkey Island
in General Discussion

One final Monkey Island Monday!!
I’m predicting we’ll see the Scrapbook retelling of the previous games.
…or since I’ll only have one last time to place a foolish guess, they’ll release the game a week early 🤣
