Dunno, while I appreciate Rex‘ vision of Guybrush, I can somehow connect more with YOUR version. Great job 😀

If I were you I would take the time and one myself. It is a lot of work - but also a lot of fun.

@Laserschwert When looking at the original Dark Forces Poster (the one with the stormtrooper) and the sketches of Jon Knoles (love them) I got the idea to change it into a more „sketchy“ version. I know that derives from the original idea, but what do you think of it? That added picture is just your adjusted cover version ran through a vector graphics app.

I am with you + Dark Forces in at least Unity Engine

I‘d love to have a remaster of Zak McKracken. But only if someone could bring it on the same level graphically as DOTT. Because of the craziness of the game. And of course new soundtrack. But that would make it a remake not a remaster I guess.

I would be really disappointed, if there will be no box release. But I am talking about content like in the old days e.g. Indy 3 with the diary (Ron worked on it as well).

Ron should ask @Laserschwertfor help and some other guys here to come up with some nice ideas for the box content. Or create a kickstarter for it and hire Purcell or Chan to do the Box Art.

Who did Thimbleweed then?

Does anyone know if there will be a physical big box release of Return To Monkey Island? And what would you like to have in the box? Next to the code wheel, and the Monkey Island map and the voodoo doll recipe and the Monkey Island poster and…

I played MI 1 VGA and MI2 VGA talkie. Then Thimbleweed Park in Hard mode. Currently stuck with CMI. Don‘t like it very much. Guess will try MI 1 in EGA before ROMI

Just hope they make LeChuck sound right as the original voice decided not to return.

Speaking about backgrounds: Is there a source where one can get the MI2 backgrounds or even the maps in hires?

Ron Gilbert said, that when developing Thimbleweed Park they chose the retro graphics because they wanted the game to be retro. And this whole game cries out RETRO. Now ROMI is a totally different approach. They use new technology new art to tell a new story. It always was like that. When you look at each LucasArts adventure they always used a new style to tell a new story, be it Monkey series, Maniac Mansion 1 + 2, LOOM, Indy series, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango, you name it. It always was different. And also always looked fresh. And there also always have been people who didn’t like a new style. I e.g. could not get warm with CMI, but mainly because I missed sth was not there any more after Ron left. But that thing is back again - I felt it when playing Thimbleweed Park - and I am sure it will be in ROMI. So I am pretty sure it will be great.

I really really really am looking forward to this game. Hope there will be a big box release of it so I can buy it for my collection 🤩
