Janitor Bob Posted December 7, 2000 Share Posted December 7, 2000 Why is Monkey Island rated Teen. What kind of things are in that game that you wouldn't want your 80 year old Amish Grandma to see? ------------------ I like pi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClickerClicker Posted December 7, 2000 Share Posted December 7, 2000 they don't say HELL at all!!! Instead, they use HECK !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoClown1587246265 Posted December 7, 2000 Share Posted December 7, 2000 They do say 'Hell' a couple of times. I know, because I cringed whenever they said 'Heck'. The occasional 'Hell' was a blessed relief. I think Elaine says it in the cutscene where they're all going in to vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent007 Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 Yeah, they do use "heck" a lot. But, the cook in the Scumm inn says "Da**" (I put the asterisks in) when he asks his boss if he can come with you on the voyage to Lucre Island. He says it under his breath, though, and it's hard to hear. I don't think it's any more violent then your average sunday morning cartoon, though. There are some other things they might have considered, like the references to Guybrush's honeymoon and stuff like that. Anyway, it only means kids 13 and up. Anyone younger than that wouldn't get much out of the game anyway, right? Yeesh, that was a mouthfull. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Shrimp Posted December 8, 2000 Share Posted December 8, 2000 Well the comment about the 2nd largest duck he's ever had in his pants, verges on inuendo. Plus, there's the ever-so-popular comment Guybrush makes about his & Elaine's bedroom. Plus ghosts, and all things dead-like are usually considered not children's material.

Guest Guybrush112 Posted December 9, 2000 Share Posted December 9, 2000 It also says "Suggestive themes" the only thing suggestive that I can think of is the "Looking at my stuff" bit but that's it. And somebody tell me ONE time when somebody glorified the use of alcohol? I mean, Guybrush makes a comment on alcohol burning through his enternal organs THAT'LL make kids wanna drink! O and whenever they said, "Heck" I screamed out the word HELL, HELL, HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To muffle out the word. ------------------ "You may have seen me in your nightmares.

timmy the monkey Posted December 9, 2000 Share Posted December 9, 2000 lets see: the thing about another honeymoon is rather suggestive as is the part where you can look at your inventory in the cane shop and fred(dy)says, "oh is that what their calling it these days, well hurry up, we wouldnt want any ladie folk seeing that." when you look at their bedroom door and guybrush makes some snide comment there are a couple times when gubrush refers to having something in his pants your whole conversation with drunken Carla can be used to justify a teen rating on account of she is drunk they refer to wenches quite often, which the last time i looked it up was defined as a young women of loose morals if you catch my drift i'm sure there are more but i cant think of them right now I think that it probably deserves the teen rating, not that many people actually look at the rating when they buy or many stores that enforce it. At least not where i'm from. ------------------ Hey, it's timmy the monkey....how did he get here?

CocoClown1587246265 Posted December 9, 2000 Share Posted December 9, 2000 Hey, you get parrots drunk and/or hyped up! We wouldn't want the little kiddies trying that at home. Also, I think Guybrush (in the bait shop, if you try and puck something up) says something about keeping the pointy objects in his pants to a bare minimum.

Rufio Posted December 9, 2000 Share Posted December 9, 2000 sure thats all in there, but its not enough to disserve a teen rating, the last teen rated game i had that involved language refered to specific parts of the body and used many common four letter words, MI4 has less offencive material for immpressionable youth than your average "TVG" television show ------------------ (¸.·'``'·.¸¸.·'`'·.¸¸.,.,.¸.·'´`'·.¸¸.·'´`'·.¸) «´¨`·.¸¸.*NewFoundGloryBoy* .¸¸.·´¨`» (`'·.¸¸.·'´`'·.¸.·''´`'`'`'·.¸¸.·'´´`'·.¸¸.·'´´) Wanted: one clever signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janitor Bob Posted December 14, 2000 Author Share Posted December 14, 2000 Doesn't sound too bad. Remember their was cussing in Sam and Max and DOTT. I don't think that got a teen rating ------------------ I like pi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Shrimp Posted December 14, 2000 Share Posted December 14, 2000 Erm... Is everyone forgetting that bit where the Ghost Priest mentions how LeChuck gutted him with a flaming sword and held up his still pulsating pancreas in front of him? Besides, what the heck are you griping about? I mean, you are a quote/unquote, teen, are you not? You got the game, so shut up already!

Guest Guybrush112 Posted December 14, 2000 Share Posted December 14, 2000 Even though that is in there no little kid is going to get it. When Guybrush says, "This is the second largest duck I ever had in my pants" the little guys are just going to laugh because they think that having a duck in your pocket is funny and that they think it is abrupt! ------------------ "You may have seen me in your nightmares.

FreakyBob Posted December 15, 2000 Share Posted December 15, 2000 Has anyone actually thought it might be the DAMN PUZZLES! not every five year old is capable of playing a game like monkey island. In fact 11+ is about right, kids can think a little at that age and the attention span is a bit longer. DUH! ------------------ "I Trust You About As Far As I Can Throw Manhattan!"

musicallyinclinedmonkey Posted December 15, 2000 Share Posted December 15, 2000 every time you check your inventory in front of someone you get a suggestive remark i.e. "i'm not sure what you're doing, sir, but i'm sure it's against company policy", and such. If you haven't tried to pick up the big hand in the voodoo lady's house, there is a very suggestive comment made. Although I laughed my @$$ off, I wouldn't want my little sister to see it. (If you are older than "TEEN" try it- I won't spoil it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
