hgdagon Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 So I decided if we have Monkey Island Special Edition DVD then what about the other 2 games? Why can't we have a DVD with those games? Since LucasArts is no more, I decided to create my own. So I took Bgbennyboy's installers, edited them a bit, and decided to burn the beauty on a DVD. It was still OK at that point. But then I got too carried away and created a poster and an autorun! So with this stuff already done, I wonder if any of you would be interesting to have the same (providing Bgbennyboy doesn't mind, of course)? P.S. The original posters are taken from this thread.

RoyTordesLegend Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 The first two were the best, the third I accept is canny enough (despite Guybrush looking like a git), the fourth I refuse to admit exists and the last one all seems way too modern for me....so it's a grumpy old bastard no from me!

hgdagon Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 ... the fourth I refuse to admit exists The fourth? Which one's the fourth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexrd Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 The fourth? Which one's the fourth? Escape, of course. Personally, I don't really care about Curse, Escape and Tales. In my mind, they don't count. It's Ron's story, he should be the one to make MI3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgdagon Posted August 10, 2014 Author Share Posted August 10, 2014 Escape Oh, the fourth game! Dammit, I thought he was talking about... oh, well, never mind. Yes, I admit, since The Curse, the games took, well, a bit different turn. BUT! I'm the kind of a person who tends to like the characters, you know, get involved with them, so the more they span the better (as for me). So I can't completely strike out the new games (Tales included). But, yes, I would prefer Elaine not marrying Guybrush, for one thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they're bad games, or that they somehow ruined the characters. On the contrary. I just can't shake away the fact that Curse, Escape and Tales are, at the end of the day, licensed fan-fiction. Ron had a different story (and game) to tell and unfortunately he never got to do it.

hgdagon Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 I'm not saying they're bad games, or that they somehow ruined the characters. Yes, I understand. You would prefer something better, something... more original. Something right out of the "womb" of the author. Ron had a different story (and game) to tell and unfortunately he never got to do it. Yes, but, let's face it, we really don't want a Metal Gear story here with MI, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexrd Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Yes, but, let's face it, we really don't want a Metal Gear story here with MI, right? No, but I don't think that's what he had in mind either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyTordesLegend Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Sorry, didn't understand that one. I'm not a native speaker. Ron had plans for MI3? This pretty much sums it up:- http://monkeyisland.wikia.com/wiki/Ron_Gilbert The first two games were Rons games. He wasn't involved in the creation of 'The Curse of Monkey Island'. His vision for a third game in the series was quite different and never released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
