Bunta Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 I had them back in the day, but i've moved twice since then and just have a huge craving to play them again. I've been searching online and on ebay and i can't seem to find Monkey Island 1 and 2 for sale anywhere for the mac. I know they made them for mac cause i use to have them. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Remi Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Buy the PC versions and run it through ScummVM on the Mac. Should run without any problems.

Tahnee Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 Originally posted by MojoMonkey Is it any differents between MI1 and MI2 on Mac and PC?` -MojoMonkey The Mac versions' music is slightly different. I'm not quite sure what it is really, but you can tell the difference right off the bat. Check out, for instance, the Mac version of Largo's theme versus the PC version versus the Amiga version. Other than that, I haven't noticed much of a [noticeable] difference, and I've played both versions of the games.
Udvarnoky Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 That's not the real PC version, it's a remix. I'm still waiting for someone to put up the originals.
Remi Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 They're not remixes they're from the CD-ROM version. The "original" MI music was in MIDI format (or AdLib for the EGA version) which you can get here
Udvarnoky Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 The PC CD-ROM music (for MI2, only) for me has the same music as the floppy disc version. And even those MIDIs are not the same.
Joshi Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 The only versions of MI1 and 2 available for mac were the original Floppies, which were pretty much universal as the same disks would work in a PC, Mac and amiga. The new CD version doesn't work on a mac, but as Remi said, run them through ScummVM and it should be fine (as far as I know, it doesn't work with virtual PC)

That is what makes it alot beter then the PC versions. I know SCUMVM can do smoothing as well but it still doesn't look as good as the mac smoothing.
Jake Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 ScummVM's smoothing routines (especially advamame2x) are almost identical to or better than the Mac one. And Joshi, the floppies weren't universal at all.
Krazy Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 No the letters seem choppy in ScummMV. The letters in the mac are better.

Nah, I didn't know up until the point when I, yesterday, tried the pc disk's in my amiga and they didn't work. I guess they all just came witht he same manual then instead of seperate ones for seperate systems. Never mind.
