I did buy the Shivers game and preordered that expansion pack of that second Shivers Kickstarter.
And I've had grand plans of using their "blank" character sheets to create a Mona character for the Shivers game, so that would be how I would/should celebrate the anniversary of that post.

Whatever a "jumbo" steelbook DVD case is, it's not a proper PC Game Big Box. Shame. And the journal is blank. The globe is 11" and has a secret compartment.
$189 on the Bethesda game store. https://gear.bethesda.net/products/indiana-jones-the-great-circle-collectors-edition

Just found their big news post on Steam about the changes to this remaster. Along with the addition of point and click interface, about 6 bugged out lines of dialog were restored. Read on for more goodies.

I fear it a pipe dream (not Pipe Dream) that Tales of Monkey Island remaster would be next in line for remastering.

Thank you so much for your extensive work on this huge project. The whole retro scene owes you a debt of gratitude. Years after fixing some officially, you've come back out of nowhere to bring all these LucasArts titles to a playable state on new machines. It's really striking and incredible.

I believe you can actually play this game in both first or third person.

Dammit, while filling the credit card details to pay, the Day of the Tentacle box went out of stock again 😡
Did you check the other DOTT boxes? Like Xbox or other? You can search at the top of the first link I put in my post above.
The DOTT Xbox collectors box is still in stock and has like all the same extras.

Missed your chance to get some primo/questionable boxed LucasArts LimitedRun Games releases?? Monday, May 27th 10am ET, they are seemingly clearing out their extra stockages of LucasArts games as well as 21 pages of other inventory. Forget all those others; here's the ones we care about:
* Day Of The Tentacle PC (Xbox version)
* Full Throttle PC box ("special" dark art edition)
* Maniac Mansion NES
* Maniac Mansion NES Premium edition
* Monkey Island Collection 30th Celebration (with typos)
* Monkey Island Anthology Upgrade Kit (to fix the typos and give you ReMI ( @Remi ) )
* Secret of Monkey Island (Sega CD)
* Return to Monkey Island (Xbox disc edition)
* Sam and Max Save The World (PC) (Switch) (Switch Premium)
* Sam and Max Beyond Time and Space (PC) (Switch)
* Sam and Max This Time It's Virtual (PCVR)
Honorable Mentions:
* Lair of the Clockwork God (PS4 and others)
* Knights and Bikes (Switch)
This is not an exhaustive list and I got lazy with the non-boxed copies for sale and the Star Wars releases (sorry).

Thanks, but those scans are badly filtered. That's why I was hoping for some new, unfiltered scans.
I think I can also be a help here too.

Sure thing. I'll PM you.

What a Nightmare on Melee Street.

@micpp I noticed also that the Windows DVD (although not the USB) has this random extraneous shortcut file sitting in the folder
Oh great... Just what we need. ANOTHER secret to Monkey Island.
Maybe this is a way to add another "Insert Disk 22" joke. 😛

Prepare your Sam and Max plushies for combat. iAm8Bit is back with new plushies of Raz and Lili from Psychonauts 2.

It is a shame that it seems so hard to get in touch with Jo Ashburn. I've really missed his takes on the Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood.

Another round of small updates:
‘The Lair of LeChuck’ – Players will no longer intersect with the statues on Monkey Island.
‘The Lair of LeChuck’ – Players will no longer find themselves launched into the air when walking near the rock ladders by the stockade on Monkey Island.
Seems Guybrush always seems to have trouble around rocks on Monkey Island...

Okay, I have opened my box and retrieved the USB Drive and the game-disc CD.
Both media have seemingly the same "Loom.exe" file of 273 MB, which does an auto-install of seemingly just one Loom game folder.
I see:
Loom
--Loom
----901.LFL
----902.LFL
----903.LFL
----904.LFL
----CDDA.SOU
----DISK01.LEC--Loom.exe
--testapp.exe (which so far seems to just run Loom)
--unins000.dat
--unins000.exe
And after having the game open, I couldn't not recall what button combination may tell what version the game/scumm may be. It also wasn't in the manual. And finally, my google-fu has failed me. I cannot see how to find the version number (unless perhaps I download DREAMM?)-

You're all trying to get me to unseal my Loom box aren't you. Well, it's going to work. I'll report back later today.

I wrote a whole bunch below but then found this direct link, which I suggest you use now and get a quick update.
LRG and Purple Dot - Update/Shipping Lookup
If you don't get the shipping info that you expect, I'd say reach out with the link I wrote further down.
------
I suggest you reach out to the "Purple Dot" group, as mentioned on their new shipping initiative FAQ.
LimitedRunGames and Purple Dot shipping
From the FAQ: "You are even free to reach out to them directly for an independent update on your pre-order."

Good luck!!

@Jake, I am ecstatic that you are involved with that one and that someone was smart enough to let you.
I also have received my Loom LR edition but I haven't opened it up yet so I can't confirm the included versions but I don't have a reason to doubt it either.
And I also have received my "This Time It's Virtual" box but have also had already-released items held up because I had lots in my one order.
@Lagomorph01 can you check if you have other items with that specific order?
Limited Run Games started an initiative recently to allow users to have half-orders shipped separately but you have to make that effort with their shipping distributor.

I added Double Fine, Autumn Moon, and Telltale Games to the considerations. I think I was just so excited I forgot to mention those potential games. With these new editions, perhaps now I'm most excited of the possibility of an RTX enhanced Psychonauts with cleaner figment textures.

With this incredible piece of Nvidia's RTX Remix tech now in open-beta, who here will be undertaking texture mod refinement on LucasArts games of the DirectX 8/9 era??
DirectX 8 LucasArts Games:
- Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb
- Star Wars: Republic Commando
- Star Wars: Starfighter
DirectX 9 LucasArts Games:
- Armed and Dangerous
- Lego Indiana Jones 1
- Lego Indiana Jones 2
- Lego Star Wars (other)
- Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga
- Lucidity
- Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge
LucasArts (Others listed as RTX capable?):
- Star Wars The Force Unleashed
DirectX 8 Telltale Games:
- CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder
- CSI: Hard Evidence
- Sam & Max Save the World (but we have excellent remasters now)
- Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space (but we have excellent remasters now)
- Telltale Texas Hold 'Em
DirectX 9 Telltale Games:
- Back to the Future: The Game
- CSI Deadly Intent
- Game of Thrones
- Hector: Badge of Courage
- Jurassic Park: The Game
- Law and Order: Legacies
- Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent
- Poker Night 1
- Puzzle Agent 2
Telltale Games (Others listed as RTX capable?)
DirectX 9 Doublefine Games:
- Costume Quest 2
- Gang Beasts
- Hack 'n' Slash
- Mountain
DirectX 9 Autumn Moon Games:
A Vampyre Story
In all seriousness, the Indy game could probably be a winner with a texture mod pack and enhanced lighting. Maybe even Armed and Dangerous too. Lucidity had a strong light focus to begin with and may be perfect just as it is. I bet some fun could be had with Monkey Island 2 though...

Just an update, Sea of Thieves has put out a very large patch and some fixes were made towards this Legend of Monkey Island tall tale. Nothing of real importance, but it's nice they spent some time tweaking some bugs. Potential spoilers below in the patch notes:
‘The Journey to Mêlée Island’
- Players can now head up to the Mansion as soon as the guard leaves his post, and are no longer blocked by parts of the environment.
- When players have constructed a body for Murray, any players joining the session after the initial sequence will now be able to see Murray’s body.
- Players will no longer see a silhouette of Walt the violin-playing skeleton through the church window.
- Fog seen in the Mansion now behaves correctly throughout the location.
‘The Quest for Guybrush’
- Players should no longer see a patch of mist on the stairs near the Lookout Point after the fog has cleared from the mountaintop.
‘The Lair of LeChuck’
- A Quest Book is now present during the ship chase sequence, giving players the option of leaving the Tall Tale during this section.
- Herman’s Supply Crate will no longer appear to move around while the player is viewing it.
- The front-facing cannons on the Headless Monkey now have more restricted movement to prevent issues with aiming.
- The Head of the Navigator can now be taken from another player when offered.
- Liquids in the cooking pot now appear to drain correctly when collecting Banana Grease.
- The Banana Grease Jar will now appear correctly after it has been used.
- The notification shown to players when the Chilled Banana Soup has been discovered or lost now references the correct item.
- Players can no longer become stuck on the palm tree within Herman's camp.- (Can't delete this html block while just editing on my phone. Ignore me!)

Yeah, but what if it is Strong Bad that gets to their email request first?!? 🗑️
