I’m not having it. This is impossible. Is it based on an original track name or is it a fan name?!

I’m sure I read years ago about how the glowing eyes were added to the end of MI2 to provide an out if needed, so I personally have always disregarded that detail and taken the rest of the ending for what it is. When looked at that way, the whole ending chapter is fairly literal and easy to understand. It’s two kids messing around, supported by numerous clues throughout the first two games. What else could it mean? The ambiguity always came from the glowing eyes at the end, but that has been cleared up by interviews and Return (including its little ending note).

I was playing a bit of Curse of Monkey Island again yesterday with the latest version, and noticed an issue I’ve seen before where the music doesn’t play when you first return to gameplay after turning Elaine into a gold statue. The music only kicks in once you’ve left the scene. I’m almost certain it’s meant to play there… I think!

Just playing some CMI and realised I was wrong about the hold track being unused. It is used if you pop your head outside the ship before you sink all of LeChuck’s lads. After that it turns into a more upbeat tune to accompany Murray.
