LGH_ Posted March 12, 2024 Share Posted March 12, 2024 This one, as well as the one with Michael Land, were my absolute favourites so far. Iâm such a huge fan of the music in LucasArts games! Both in terms of general composition, interactivity and production quality! Â These interviews were long, but they were worth every single minute of listening. Getting this behind the scenes look with so much inside info, but also hearing and feeling their compassion about their work, is just pure fun! Â So thanks again for contributing these moments to the fan community! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagomorph01 Posted June 20, 2024 Share Posted June 20, 2024 The only thing I'm left wondering is... why isn't "Albu uncovers test footage of never released Indiana Jones FMV game" a front page post yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'm wondering about that with each of his videos. It doesn't get more Mojo-centric than interviewing any LucasArts veteran for half a day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielalbu Posted July 28, 2024 Author Share Posted July 28, 2024 Recently, there was a Kickstarter campaign that promised the "lost script" of Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix as a stretch goal.  The problem is, there is no such script.  That's why I got project lead Aric Wilmunder to give us all the true story behind the cancelled Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix game!  Today @ Noon (PT)   2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udvarnoky Posted August 2, 2024 Share Posted August 2, 2024 Wow. Â Also glad Aric talked to you about his TEMPLE OF DOOM prequel idea that covers how Indy found the remains of Nurhachi. I had the privilege of getting to do a similar rap session (unrecorded) with him as part of the research for Mojo's Iron Phoenix article six years ago, and I remember that coming up. As you've learned, Aric freely goes on tangents and they're all worth it. I'm glad these stories are out there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm here for everything they have to share with us all. Â This will not be my last session with Aric, we already have a session planned in which we'll go over all of the design documents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted August 5, 2024 Share Posted August 5, 2024 Wasn't Aric heavily involved in the Amiga conversion of The Secret of Monkey Island? For some of us that's the definitive edition of that game â¤ī¸Â Would love to hear about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPeel2001 Posted August 10, 2024 Share Posted August 10, 2024 Amazing we're getting all these incredible stories. Thanks for your work Daniel! Â There's always more questions. I wonder if you'll ever get more details. (like who wrote "LOOM SUCKS" and it would be amazing to see photos of the original LucasArts alumni that Iain McCaig clearly (albeit loosely) based his MI1 VGA portraits on (Guybrush is clearly a self-portrait, for example and Elaine was Avril Harrison, etc. etc)). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get to the bottom of "Loom Sucks", I just haven't talked to the right people yet.

However... the image you show is the EGA version. Iain McCaig drew the VGA portraits, not the EGA ones.   See the Mojo article  https://mixnmojo.com/features/sitefeatures/Revealed-Iain-McCaig-the-man-behind-the-Monkey-Island-VGA-portraits   Edited August 11, 2024 by ThunderPeel2001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
