Jedi-Monkey Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Would you have believed Gary Kurtz (producer of A New Hope) if he said that Darth Vader was Lukes father before Empire Strikes Back came out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjølen Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Silly, SILLY, people! I tell you I KNOW the Secret of Monkey Island. Well the game the Secret of Monkey Island led you to believe that the gates of Hell were on Monkey Island, (or so I thought after i found out, i think) however thats not true because Guybrush asked in CMI. Now I've said it once, and I'll say it again: The Secret of Monkey Island is... ... The Giant Monkey Robot! How do I know this? Well by watching the monkey robot scene you wouldnt suspect a thing, but if you went back to view the TITLE of the cutscene you would. The cutscene wasn't named "The REAL Secret of Monkey Island" for no reason I say! Glad I could help and I'm happy to feel useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alia Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 But they seem to mean CMI and EMI notwithstanding, as there was planned only two games at first. No more. No less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Only one game was planned actually, but the design got too big. So they made two, and also planned a third a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alia Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Ok, 1-3 games. More or less. Ha...ha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinkie Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 The real secret is that there is no secret, they just wanted to see what people would come up with and maybe steal some ideas later on.... "Look at that you were right all along those tiny little fragments of information that you haphazardly linked together all these years was exactly what we were getting at" On a side note I used the term haphazardly without laughing hysterically.

Lefty9fingers Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Hmmm, you say the secret is that there is no secret? Now where oh where have I heard that exact line before? Oh that's where I remember it, it's from MY POST up near the top, right around the time this whole discussion started. Glad to see we're all following along.

Seedy Pirate Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Has anyone noticed that the "Monkey Island" part of the game titles only really come into play with EMI? Think about it - MI's so-called secret was never even that game's focus, LeChuck's revenge didn't even involve MI, and the cursed ring was merely a trinket in the booty hold of LeChuck's ship (and again, MI wasn't even in the game). It's not until the fourth game that you actually validate the series' title... weird, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty9fingers Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I would just like to point out the fact that you don't know what you are talking about. If you ever played CMI you would remember that the whole end of the game(however short it may be) took place on Monkey Island, ala LeChuck's Carneval of the Damned.

Governor Phatt Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 lefty, u seriously need to calm down and be a little more civilised in ur opinions. im not saying u cant voice them, but theres no need to keep going "YOU IDIOTS YOU'RE ALL COMPLETELY WRONG!!!" just cos someone has a difference in opinon. ...right, so anyways, its not like MI played a huge part in CMI though, its just a gay little carnival ridiculously set up on the island, which i was never really satisfied with. But the guy with one eye (sorry lefty, "visually impaired") in the scummbar in MI said only Lechuck knows the secret, so it is surely (in the game world) something to do with Monkey island, or the undead or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I have played through CMI and you're partially right. While I'd forgotten that's where the ending took place, the "Carnival of the Damned" was actually what LeChuck called the litte setup that he'd created at the end of MI2 (hence his line in CMI, "Threepwood! I don't know how you escaped my Carnival of the Damned, etc..."). And to Shivermetimbers: the end of MI2 takes place on Dinky Island. Anyway, is this how newbies are generally received?

Bushmeister Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Yes however if you take MI3 into account (which I myself would choose not too) then the Carnival at the end is on Monkey Island and we therefore do see it in MI2.

Seedy Pirate Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Perhaps LeChuck's decision to relocate his carnival to Monkey Island was to... eh, nevermind.
