The previous game I had this was Thimbleweed park!

I don’t want to talk about the art since so much is said about it but after having seen the trailer I wonder still about if Guybrush is a kid or not. Why there’s scrapbook with his name on it? So that all the games are his imagination and pages on the scrap book?

I'm sure they are aiming to sell to the new fans more than existing fans.

How about a drinking contest ? Winner gets the doll! (Need to find near-grog quick)

They sell it for $850 on ebay cheapest one. Your kidney is worth much more!

Thanks! This is from Escape right? I finished it when it was out and forgot the details.

Is there a place Guybrush says monkey died from exhaustion?

BTW the ship in the teaser is LeChuck's!

It should be like Special editions are. As long as you do not press a key it should not give you any.

Not that much. 😀 But the original $175 was a steal. Even with tax and postage and errata on the book it's a good deal. Voodoo doll should have been included really! 😀

It's such a wasted opportunity to not have voodoo dolls ! BTW after having missed the presale you do not want to know how much I paid for it.

No need to apologize. I tried again and could not get it but he mentions in Wally's room. Maybe he's just making it up (since he does not want to admit he likes doll houses) and he does not have a sister since at the end we only see 2 siblings.

I have yet to find an easy Ron adventure, so I have faith in RTMI that will be satisfactorily difficult.

The length and complexity of MI2 Part2 and MI1 Part 1 are amazing. They consist most of their respective games. You can do 3 trials in any order or find map pieces in any order. i hope MI3 will have something similar! Also there are very short parts like MI2 Part 3 or MI1 Part 2 which are defined by travelling to a new location.

Ron said it will be a solid pirate adventure in the adventure's interview. So we are good! And Willy Beamish! Oh my , only makes me remember disk swapping. On Amiga you had to swap disks 1000000 times. Disk 2 had something every part of games needed so it was hell.

I will do so!

I'd say if Elaine is the sister, it was to magnify Star Wars spoof, eventually when all this talk would turn to be a result of the spell and these will be left behind.

I finished MI1 last week and MI2 last night to quench my MI thirst while waiting Return and also to refresh the "canon" knowledge. It does not mean that she's not mentioned anywhere else. I will reload Dinky Island save and try all the combinations. The dialogues with LeChuck are so critical.

He mentions of her sister's doll house, when he looks at the bed of Wally's.

Yes. That was the part that gave me most hope when I first played it. But at what point that spell got cast? It has to be after they met where the X was otherwise when they met he was already under the spell. The cargo guys like theme part employees and the lights to the tunnels to the cottage in Phatt Island, are other hints that everything can be in a theme park. If spell is the reason we think there's a theme park, then it had to be cast even before.

Just to recap: LeChuck had plans for Guybrush to make a chair off him then after he escaped he made a voodoo doll of him to send him to another dimension. It did not work well only send him in the next room. While doing the voodoo he brought up brothers story. Their (or guybrush's parents being around and voodoo doll that Guybrush made working implied they could be really brothers too. Then there's the theme park indications: the employees around, the the tunnels with electric lamps, rail road tracks. They all complete the theme park story and them being there to have fun. Guybrush wandered off and LeChuck went after him to agonize to avenge his toy. But on top of all that there's Elaine out saying LeChuck casting spell on Guybrush. So at what point would the spell be act ive? Even during the back story we see hints of eveything being in a theme park, tunnels to Rum Rogers' cottage are like the theme park tunnels (not the user ), also the cargo delivery guys seem like the theme park employees.

The story changing from brother El Carlo to LeChuck resurrected makes it even better.

These 2 quotes from the Verge interview hit me hard. This is what Monkey Island is all about!!!! "And revisiting the world, revisiting Monkey Island — I haven’t done that in a long, long time. I remember when I first started this project, and I was writing code, and I first typed the words “Guybrush.” It sent a chill down me because I had not typed those words into code in 35 years. That was really fun to just kind of relook at the world again." "And then I told him that it was the new Monkey Island, and he was just floored. Which is a reaction I get from a lot of people. Before, when we were bringing people on, and we’d talk to them, the minute I mentioned, “I’m making a new Monkey Island….” One person literally started crying. They were so happy that this was happening. "

Not saying it was not valid. It was a good distinction. What I meant it was right after our time in MI2 amusement park but "in" is better.

Amazing interview for the time being. It's not exactly MI3a but starts after amusement park (which is a great relief). Somehow other games won't be invalidated. I hope Guybrush and Elaine are not married like Ron wanted back then. I can relate and value very much how stressed Ron felt for a new MI game. He knows how it means to so many and does not want to disappoint. The way he says it's a great pirate adventure makes me happy. Graphics are a bit disappointing but as long as they will make us feel the atmosphere they will be fine. I understand very well they do not want to be seen as a retro game. All in the all it's a great time to be a Monkey Island fan. I cannot wait!
