Laffer Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 On the back of the MI box, there is a close up picture of a dog (the one in the scumm bar?). I've never seen this in the game, is this only in the EGA version (like Loom, in which there are lots of extra close ups in the EGA version?) ?
ptdc Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 It's not in any version, if somebody says they've seen it they're lying ¬¬.
Remi Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 I don't know if they're lying per se, I could have sworn to have seen it in the game myself, but it isn't there. Left out because of space restrictions.
LeChuck lives Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 it is in the game. the dogs name is spiffy and guybrush can talk to it with a combination of barks which we cant understand.
Bushmeister Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 I think that it is just a case that it was in the original SOMI version, but not the revised one with a graphical inventory.
Laffer Posted October 17, 2003 Author Posted October 17, 2003 No, it was not in the disk version of SOMI (the one without inventory icons), so I guess it's right that it's not in any versions of SOMI. I think it's a bit strange that they have included a picture on the box not featured in the game, though.
Remi Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 Tim Schafer said something about them putting it on the cover because they liked the art work, but not in the game because of the space issues.
ptdc Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 I suppose in the days of 720k disks such things mattered. It's a shame it wasn't reinstated in the cd version though.
Ernil Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 I've been thinking 'T would be very nice if they would re-release Monkey Island I and II with all of the things they had to take our because of "space." I'm sure most of the deleted scenes are long lost, though. Drat.
Tahnee Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 Originally posted by Bushmeister I think that it is just a case that it was in the original SOMI version, but not the revised one with a graphical inventory. Um, in the Mac version of SMI...with graphical inventory...there's a dog named Spiffy in the Scumm Bar that Guybrush can talk to. Apparently my copy of the game is from the Twilight Zone...
Udvarnoky Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 The dog is in every version of Monkey Island 1, and you can talk to him in every version. What everyone is referring to is a close-up picture of the dog that is on the back of the box. Check out ThunderPeel's avatar.
BattleCakes Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 hes right, there is a closeup in the mac disc version
Melancholick Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 Actually, I've got the Mac disk version two feet away--there's no closeup of the dog in that version. It's on the box, but not included in the game itself. I remember thinking that was weird.. since I recall it being in the Atari ST version. Which is probably also just ten years of delusional thinking talking.
ptdc Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 It is definitely not in the Atari St version, which I played a few days ago.
Jedi-Monkey Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 This is madness. Maybe its on some discs of every version and not others just so the creators could laugh at the confusion it caused.
Remi Posted November 1, 2003 Posted November 1, 2003 Or maybe people should just listen to the creators when they say it's not in any of the versions.
Tahnee Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Bah, who listens to what those game creators say anyway. It's not like they know anything...
ptdc Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 If they make MI5 he should be in it, like the stump joke returned in CMI.
