  1. What a great read! Thank you for writing it, it must've taken a lot of time to research and write this piece! I'm currently letting your theory sink in a bit. I don't know if it's the full thruth and nothing but the truth, but I do think it's on the level that Ron Gilbert operates on. He's a big fan of David Lynch and the layered narrative structure he (often unconsiously) uses in his work. Monkey Island has obviously always been a deeply personal project for Ron, which is showcased by his constant willingness to return to the franchise over the course of 30 years. I'd like to think that that's because of a deeper layer like the one you described. Anyway, the thought that there could be so much thought put into this game is really mind boggling... and it really makes me want to play Return again just to see if your theory matches up. I'd like to add a log to your fire: In the years that Ron couldn't make a Monkey Island game, he supposedly gave this description about a possible third Monkey Island game, "It takes place in hell and Stan is involved." Looking at you're theory, you might want to let the last part of that sentence sink in... seems to match up. Thanks for the read! It kept me off work for way too long! πŸ˜‰
  2. Then let me blow this thread wide open: Technically, a pan is a horizontal movement. Shouldn’t this be a banana tilt?
  3. Don't say that! You NEED to find it, and the community must keep posting until you do! (To be honest, for me this is the most entertaining thread at the moment. So please continue.)
  4. Great news! I’d love to see what they have in store for us!
  5. Great stuff, Jake! Thanks for posting these. Looking at these pictures, I'm actually pretty sorry I didn't pre-order this one when I had the chance. This looks so much more fun and inspired than the Grim Fandango one I got. Still, I got the original box right here on the shelves, it's actually one of my favourite Video Game covers, it's just so much fun! Other than that, it's great to see Steve pick up his old art style again, the one with the thick black outlines that he used for his comics. He must've really been quite nostalgic while making these.
  6. Wow! What a great job you've done, Laserschwert! And it's really cool seeing an illustrated write up of this! You guys really went the extra mile! Steve Purcell, like you, must be a really passionate guy to spend so much time on a re-release of a thirty plus year old game! Still, it's kind of weird seeing modern "blank eyed" Max on a Hit the Road box, while Sam looks very true to the Sam of that era. (The shorter nose and smaller lower jaw. Less triangular head.) But all and all it's amazing! I never thought I'd see the day that fresh Hit the Road art would grace a box! Fantastic work!
  7. Thank you so much for making the time to take a picture! I had no idea of this! Mine definitely didn’t include it. They send me a ripped poster and forgot to put in my wall mural too, next to the fact that the box is way darker than the original one. It’s a pity that LRG is a bit hit or miss with the quality check of their products, because the original concept is great!
  8. Thanks for replying. That's weird. What kind of card is it? Do you have a picture? This is the first I've heard of this.

  20. Thanks for the tip. I usually start with β€œpirates” and work my way down from there. English is not my first language and, although I can read, speak and write it pretty well, with this game I notice the limits of my active vocabulary.

  24. I gotta say... I was pretty sceptical about this. But after the good press and reactions it's been getting, I'm kinda curious! Too bad I don't have the hardware to play this.
