Even with the title, I have no idea where in the game this music happens...

I had the same problem. Is it... on the Rum Rogers island (does that even have music)? When talking to the men of low moral fibre? In the hotel reception??

 

As Serge says though, as it's one of the game's traditional tune ripoffs homages, that should make it easier to place! 😢

I assumed since it's named Casino (if I remember correctly), I think it plays in the alley in Monkey Island 2 with the big wheel where you can gamble on the outcome.

It took longer to think what that scene (Casino) might be called than to identify the tune.

 

No idea on this one however

Guessing the name of the tune is a challenge by itself.

Track names are from the downloads page on The SCUMM Bar, I do apologise for some of the obscurity.

 

Some of the MI1 & 2 names probably originate from the old MIDI files, with CMI's probably coming from Serge/Telarium (Highland Productions). EMI names partially originated with me, sorry.

 

Anyway,

Man 😭

 

Spoiler

I tried so many options from that part of the game. Aren't they all very similar? They are in my brain and that's my excuse, anyway.

No problem. It makes total sense that it's a Casino, I just never thought of it that way!

 

As for EMI, I'm not going to get any of them regardless of title.

Good to know where the titles come from. This way I can look them up in the future!

For the Highland MIDI, we titled it "Phatt Island Wheel o' Fortune". I don't really think of it as a casino either - but it's historically been the name people used for that room in the game - not least because it was the "official" name during MI2's development (but worth remembering that names during development were generally kept as short as possible, partly due to the 8 character filename limitations of DOS). And since MI2 is one of the games that include the original room names in the game files, people likely found it there once upon a time. 🙂

This one was one of my "guessing the title is harder" - I think the "more official" (possibly original) title of it is "Mildly Fearsome Pirates" - but that's also a good example of why "original" titles wouldn't necessarily be easier to find. 😉

Literally audibly exclaimed "Oooh!" when I heard the first second of this, since I recognised immediately which game it was from, and it's such a good tune. Still took me a second guess though.

Spoiler

My first guess was at least close, I thought it was the music of the ship combat, turns out it's the ship swordfighting.

I forgot to post that I'm lame and failed again. In my defence, even though I'd accidentally cheated and looked at a spoiler tag, so I knew what game it was from, something wacky was going on with the search and it wouldn't come up with anything from that game!

 

I wouldn't have got it anyway though.

I got too stuck thinking it was from the wrong game(s), and even with the answer I can only barely remember where something related to the title might happen in the game, let alone that there's music associated with it...

I've seen that bug a few times. Refreshing the page fixes it.

It's on lucre island when you go under the lake to find Pegnose's stash. The music is a nice variation on the underwater/diving/falling off a cliff theme.

That's it, my brain is officially ruined, I don't even remember what this part of the game is. At least I guess the right entry in the series... for all but the last guess where I lost confidence. :(

At least I got the game right this time.

Those... horns I think are pretty distinctive.

Now you know how we feel when you ace another Mojole while the rest of us struggle :p

 

 

Edited to add: It may not be clear from all my grumbling, but I love this game, thanks for making it!
