darrksaber88 Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I just borrowed Curse of Monkey Island from a friend, and after playing for a while, I got to the part where the skeleton that looks like Manny, wearing the 'Ask me about Grim Fandango' badge, was discovered in a chicken restaurant. The pirate running the restaurant said that he had died after being stabbed over remarking about the chicken. I never did quite get what Manny did in life to get stuck at the DOD, since it didn't seem to me that a reson was ever given. Was insulting the chicken the great sin that Manny committed in life? Forgive my newbie-ness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Hey, welcome to the forums, rath! I loved that bit in CMI. That scene is actually a reference to something that happened in Monkey Island 1 in the SCUMM Bar. You ran into a pirate (named Cobb) who donned an "Ask me about Loom" button. This pirate bore a strong resemblence to another character from Loom, another LucasArts adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrksaber88 Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 Ah right, I'd forgotten about the other badge wearing guy... Lucas Arts sure do love paying homage to things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallus Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Yeah, so I doubt that that was actually supposed to be Manny's true self in Captain Blondebeard's chicken restaurant. Just someone who looked very very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. Toothroot Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 I think all those parallels between different LEC Games make it a lot more comfy for real LucasArts Adventure Gamers to be real fans. It´s just great to have a good laugh seeing some character from a different game while playing. Does anybody remember the Sam´n´Max costume that is shown in MI2 on the Booty Island costume rental? You can just see it for a short time, when you get your purple dress there. I also loved the ancient stone in Dr. Jones office (Last Crusade), that said something about aliens invading earth (Manic Mansion related).

Darth Eggplant Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 alas I am an outcast, for GF is only the second Lucasarts game I have ever played or owned. The other is Racer. like Pod Racing. I have always meant to play some of the others perhaps my new years resolution for 2003 should be more Lucasarts games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
