Evil is powerful, but not above muddy floors. ⸻ 2. “No Unauthorized Ghosts Beyond This Point” Only the authorized undead may haunt, scare, or cackle menacingly here. Poltergeist interns must check in at reception. ⸻ 3. “Treasure Room – Trespassers Will Be Polished and Sold as Souvenirs” Our treasure is guarded by traps, curses, and a disgruntled parrot with a grudge. You’ve been warned. ⸻ 4. “Danger: Moaning, Groaning, and Occasional Explosions Ahead” LeChuck’s latest experiments in supernatural mayhem may cause temporary loss of limbs or reality. Proceed with existential caution. ⸻ 5. “Cafeteria – Serving Only the Best in Rotting Grub Since 1667” Today’s Special: Boiled Eyeball Stew with a side of Screaming Peas. No refunds.

Complimentary towels (charred). ⸻ 8. “LeChuck’s Office – Do Not Disturb Unless You Enjoy Eternal Doom” By appointment only.

And sarcastic. ⸻ 10. “Official Map of the Fortress – You Are Here (And Probably Regret It)” Directions not to scale. Or accurate. Or helpful. ⸻ 11. “Ghostly HR Department – Now Offering Post-Mortem Benefits!” Need help with your spectral career? We provide ghastly guidance and resume haunting tips. ⸻ 12. “Skeleton Crew Lounge – No Skin, No Shoes, No Problem” Open 24/7. Karaoke every Friday. Theme: Songs to Die For. ⸻ 13. “Secret Exit – Shhh! It’s a Secret!” If you can read this, you’re not supposed to be here. Report to LeChuck immediately for re-education. ⸻ 14. “Beware of LeChuck’s Beard – It Bites” Approach with caution. Beard oil available at the gift shop. ⸻ 15. “Fortress Maintenance – Now Hiring Minions With Flexible Morals” Must be willing to work nights, weekends, and across multiple dimensions. ⸻ Oof. They're fricking awful... No surprise I guess

Oof. I feel ashamed. I figured out Monkey Island Frantic #114 in 15 seconds after 2 tries. 💖 https://funzone.mixnmojo.com/Frantic/

It's a travesty

Ahhhh! I think you're right. Ha. I just thought it was a fun easter egg, but I'm playing in regular mode and that puzzle is always the one that stumps me in Mega Monkey. It's a shame we have to solve that with head cannon.

What a sad turn for Shelley Day... Has Gilbert ever talked about it? A weird way for your company to go down And was Gilbert set for life after Humungous? He doesn't seem to have done that much and yet lived a good life (or was his time at Double Fine and agreeing to do Return partially down to the money?) Gilbert is quite a mysterious guy now that I think about it.

So I'm playing Curse again for the xth time and I randomly discovered something I'd never seen before. I inhaled some helium... and then used the bubble gum while his voice was still high pitched. As Guybrush was chewing, I thought to myself, "they should have made it so when he does this the b..." and lo! They had. Damn. Did everyone else already know of this tiny detail? (No spoilers for anyone who wants to try it.) Honestly, the attention to the small things is why Curse is so much fun to replay. (Schafer was right when he said they should go back and fix all the "Nice x" lines at the end of Monkey 2.)

I'm so confused

In all the trivia I've read about MI over the years, I've never read this. https://www.marineinsight.com/marine-navigation/what-is-monkey-island-on-ships/ Is it a relatively new term? Did we just not know about this in 1989?
