elTee Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 Looking at skyfoxes avatar... Which version of Monkey Island was that dog in? I have the original floppy disk version, the re-release floppy version, and the Bounty Pack CD version. I've never seen the damn thing. I assume its the dog in the SCUMM Bar? I remember it's on the box of the white label re-release which had MI1 and 2 in, but I never played that version. HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmatz Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 It's the dog in the SCUMM bar in the first one. I think he's Scruffy and he's like right next to the curtain. At least I suppose that's what dog it is... doesn't look much like him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 I've spoken to that damn dog, but I never get the zoomed in view, like I do with Mancomb Seepgood etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmatz Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 There isn't lol... I think he made it. You never talk to the dog close up like Mancomb... at least I don't think so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 But he didn't make it! It was on the bloody box art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 I seem to remember that there's a combination of Look At and Talk To that'll let you get the close-up of the dog. I don't quite remember, but I've done it before at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueZTone Posted January 20, 2002 Share Posted January 20, 2002 The dog's named Spiffy by the way and yeah like Remi I have also seen the dog close up in-game once. But recently it's never worked anymore. Don't know in which version of MI i saw the dog close up either...could be the white lable one.. adios =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 Hmmm. A strange Easter egg? I think not. I guess it was obvious at the time... It was pretty obvious, at least, that they were gonna do every character in good zoomed in view, then decided that it would take them too long. I mean, you see half of the SCUMM bar characters in the good view, who you only speak to once. The only others are Carla, Elaine and Smirk (I think.) Why not LeChuck or Stan or Otis or the Cannibals or HERMAN? There was also a lot more effort in some of the cutscenes, now I think about it - I mean, the parrot cutscene still looks fantastic, but when you kill LeChuck? No close up super views, just a fiew camera angles. Don't get me wrong, that was cool, but I think that it is obvious they changed thier minds half way through, and decided to leave what they'd already done in the game. Cos I mean, why destroy it? I'm not complaining here, by the way, so don't go mad or anything. Maybe they did it so if you played the demo you'd think the whole game would be like that. Who knows, maybe the whole game would've been like that if they hadn't been given a deadline. Makes you wonder... If only CD's had been around 5 years earlier, then MI2 would have been about 10 scenes bigger too. Just 'cos it needed to go on 6 floppies, half the game was cut out. What might have been, what might have been... I mean, look what they did with just 6 floppies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huz Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 Originally posted by LucasTones I mean, look what they did with just 6 floppies! And in the case of the Amiga version (bet you didn't see this post coming), they almost doubled the number to 11 and made you swap them a lot. But it just made that 80MB hard disk all the more sweet.

Crocodilic Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 I would think of something very witty to say, but instead i think ill try and be the 1st person to say on this forum: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!! 4|| ¥øü® ߪ§ë å®è ߢ|ðµg ¹º û§ Joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't quite remember, but I've done it before at least. Woah really?? it's scanned from the original box back, and I thought it was left out of the game. I have never seen it actually IN game. A mug o'grog to the first person who can prove it's in the actual game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Head Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Question: How bored am I? Answer: Enough to make me play the scumm bar scene over and over at 00:10 so as to use every combination i could think of on that dog, and then to go through the data file of monkey island and check every backdrop it had to see if i could find the dog...it wasn't there. boy am i a sucker, can i still have a mug of grog for the effort?

Schmatz Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 It may have been in the really really old version, but I have the new Monkey Island Mania CD that came with the CMI Lucasarts Archive, and I can't find it anywhere in the SCUMM files.

Remi Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 The more I think of it, it could be that it was something I got on the Amiga version... I know I'm not going crazy and that it's actually possible to do it at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huz Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 I'm thinking the same, Remi - I've seen it! I'm not mad! I had a glance at my one and only PC version of SOMI, but couldn't find any way to get the dog on-screen. It definitely wasn't on the Amiga version. That just did the same as the PC version, ie. you talk to the dog from the standard SCUMM Bar view. It wasn't in the Passport to Adventure demo version of SOMI, was it?

elTee Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 I have the original original original pc version. I'll go n check. I'll let u all know tonight. I've always wondered about that damn dog... Re. LSL4 - Al Lowe said there was no LSL 4 cos after LSL 3 he said there would never be a LSLS 4. But he changed his mind, then kept his word neway. So LSL5 is LSL 4.

QueZTone Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 its not specifically in the Amigo because ive seen it as said before and i don't have an Amiga. It's kinda tough cause in total i have like 3 versions of SoMI and one other version which i unfortunatly don't have anymore.. So there's... and old pirate copy i have the original MI1 disks version White Label MI1 MI1 VGA CD Bounty Pack MI so..hmm...its been a while and i just recently got the Bounty Pack so i didnt see it there. It wasn't the MI1 VGA CD either... It wasn't the original MI1 disks version either where i saw it on cause i just got that one for a year now So the pirate copy is left and the White Label version which i don't have anymore.. damn.. I think it was on the white label version, yeah i certainly think so.. if i'd still have the white label cd i would check.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
