Weather forecast for September 19th: Hotter than a Monkey Hellmouth already on a warm, tropical island. So... wear shorts.

He couldn't exactly take 4 months off from work running a whole company. He owes it to his employees to keep steering that ship and not go run off and be a pirate on the Mad Monkey. Although it would be fun to have seen this as a Double Fine production so we could see a two-headed baby as a ship figurehead in an opening graphic.

Here's your Monkey Island nod: https://twitter.com/ackley_jonathan/status/1561052724346515457?t=_BWMtSC3l5S4F49fsKyBMg&s=19

Who would win? Giant Monkey Kombat Robot or tiny, hat-wearing monkey piloting Smirks' "The Machine"? Different fighting styles for sure.

Big fan of Monkey Kombat.

I remember when Jurassic Park 3 (Allen!) came out and had Dr Statler and Dr Grant separated and semi estranged through an off screen story, and that was jarring to audiences and falling away from expected movie tropes of couples staying together unless we witnessed the breakdown. More like "hey this would fit the story if they were apart for then to have Grant call her at the last second from a dino-poop-satellite-phone". I guess what I'm saying is, stay together unless the separation is an earned story point?? I think that's what I'm saying. Jurassic Park 3 was fairly awful. That was my point.

Sam and Max: Hit The Road had the most Bigfoots... Bigfeets?? It's probably "Bigfeets".

Wow, you have already done some impressive work and research. I could see you getting a small number of people interested in some of the items by themselves but I cannot expect the demand to be too high here for the whole package/box and contents. There are boxes for Monkey Island 1 and 2 rather readily available on marketplaces like eBay at decent prices the last time I looked so I cannot think the cost for your hard work may make sense for you, besides your desire to recreate something beautiful, and just that good feeling finishing this recreation. A recreated box for Zak may get some extra attention here, as that is something selling for over $300 at times, which is ridiculous. I have also wanted to make a few custom boxes for LucasArts titles, like a slipcase to go overtop the Collectors edition of Tales of MI (like old Sierra titles) and a separate box for just the Monkey Island Madness CD collection, but I haven't made the time to work on those much. The work you have already done is very impressive and I can see the hard work that has been done.

I hope the Horse Armor makes you instantly over-encumbered and you cannot move or pick up any other inventory items, thus you must leave it on the ground of the first game screen. 😛

But I'm afraid if it was more of a Myst situation. Sold really well, not enjoyed or completed by those masses, maybe left a poor taste for adventure games for many? Just a thought

Clearly it will be: "I think I can live without that particular piece of junk."

I was thinking more of John Hancock shivering looking like this poor unfortunate soul. And... After 10 years, we all will finally be able to play the next game in the series by the original creators on September 16th. I'm talking of course about "Space Venture" from the makers of Space Quest. Undercutting some silly pirate adventure game release day by 3 days. But really, their Kickstarter campaign for Space Venture started over 10 years ago, and they spent the last two years on the Save-Load system if you were to take their spaced-out updates as any indication. While I've never played a Space Quest game beyond a few minutes, I did back their campaign. There have been plenty of backer complaints throughout the years. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spaceventure/two-guys-spaceventure-by-the-creators-of-space-que/posts/3590050 I'm so happy that we haven't been dragged through ten years of a Kickstarter campaign to get our hands on another Monkey Island.

Have I got some news for you!! https://mixnmojo.com/news/Maniac-Mansion-Bonus-Track-aka-The-Sounds-of-SOMI-SE-Part-2#comments

Off the top of my head, when you meet up with your old crew from MI1 in EMI and have a discussion with them.

When do we get a version of MI 1 with all of the closeups of Guybrush replaced by photos of @Dmnkly ??

I didn't think any of the releases said anything but "Tuna Head". Interesting.

Has anyone captured the current website of ReMI/Stan for posterity... and for later republishing, like the old, interactive Mojo hint guides?

It's so pretty

I hear 25% of the games original dialog is down there...

You would be correct that @Trapezoid made the music and by all likelihood forgot his password here and is now @Trapezzoid https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/401/

As much as I love the CMI verb coin, I think it was Jake that brought to my attention that with Full Throttle you could still see through to where you clicked on. I do find that highly useful, so 10 points to Whatshisname.

Weren't there a bunch of sexy baritone @Dmnkly lines in EMI? Rated M for M-eow.

I believe the green skin was to show better the meteors influence over the Edisons. Also, I was about to pitch a (fake) snooty fit if you didn't mention Maniac Mansion Deluxe... but you did and I got myself all worked up for nothing.
