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!

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!

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. (Muah.)

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!

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?

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? (Update: No.)

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.

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..
