socialoutcast59 Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 After the wonderful Monkey Island 399: Wally's Disease, I have reason to believe LucasArts Entertainment Company is planning a Monkey Island 400, under the possible names of: The Prostitute of Monkey Island The Evil Mutant Cheese Pancake of Monkey Island Monkey Island 400: The Unpredictable Return of LeChuck If you have any rumors about this long-awaited episode of the series, please post them below. Because I like to read rumors. It gives me pleasure.
Metallus Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 I want to contribute to this thread! However, I think the MI series jumped the shark after Monkey Island 273: The Shark-Jump of Monkey Island.
Mullog Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 How really wierd. Thought that was no. 237? Well, "The erotic bloodbath of monkey Island" was a total derailment anyway. Sure hope no. 400 will use the same 4d engine as the previouse one.
Remi Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 Monkey Island 273 is so not a Monkey Island game. Ron Gilbert wasn't involved at all!
Metallus Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 Yeah, it wasn't as smooth of a transition from adventure to racing as I had hoped.
scabb Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 My personally favourite is Monkey Island: Xtreme Beach Volleyball. With naked nude cheat switched on of course!!(!!!)!!11111!!!!!!!
xElaineMarleyx Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 How comes I don't know what y'all are on about? Is that some kind of magazine or something?
Joshi Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 Monkey Island 136: The Lost Banana, was by far the best one, much better with the killer robots, although i got a little lost in the 'sim island' part of it, were you meant to make a boat with interl;ight extentions, or take the sausages from the townspeople as thanks. (oh, and xElaineMarleyx, don't worry, we're just goofing around, just go with it.)
xElaineMarleyx Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 Riiiiiiiiiiight........ Am I the only sane one here? I would love it if they brought out Monkey Island comic books though, because we have this shop near me (in the UK) where they import American comic books so us British comic book fans can buy them!!! It would be seriously cool though, seeing all my fave characters from all the MI's in a comic book... * HINT HINT!!! :)*
Joshi Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 paco's monkey island comic. there ya go! oh, and we're just joking around here, just go with it.
brief Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 Bah. Monkey Island 234 was the best, in my book. Roll around town as Murray, terrorizing the neighborhood... *sigh* Good times.
Joshi Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Originally posted by brief Bah. Monkey Island 234 was the best, in my book. Roll around town as Murray, terrorizing the neighborhood... *sigh* Good times. it was okay, but the duck pirate chase sequence was a little overdone, don't you think?
brief Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 Originally posted by Neil Joshi it was okay, but the duck pirate chase sequence was a little overdone, don't you think? I thought the song they had for that sequence was quite catchy...
Joshi Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 hmm, too many referances to sausages if you ask me. the song in Monkey island 324: The Bullfrogs Revenge was better, i can't get enough of the donkey line from Smymush Leapfood.
xElaineMarleyx Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 Honestly, you people have no taste! Obviously you all missed 'Monkey Island 1 : Elaine's Revenge'!!! That one was a classic... Run round as Elaine, slap Guybrush countless times, beat up LeChuck, tease Wally... And that music sequence when Elaine sings about her secret love for LeChuck? That was AMAZING!!! Who agrees?!?!
socialoutcast59 Posted March 13, 2003 Author Posted March 13, 2003 Okay, Monkey Island 1 was called The Secret of Monkey Island, alright? NOT Elaine's Revenge. And it is not fun to slap Guybrush. It is unkind and rude.
brief Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 I think she meant Monkey Island Zero, the supposed prequel to the Monkey Island series. It had no involvement of any of the original creators, and they couldn't even get most of the voice actors back for the dubbing (which was the main reason they used the prequel premise--the actors could be younger and not sound like the established characters we know and love). Therefore, MI0 is typically considered not part of the Monkey Island proper continuity. It's nothing but a glorified fan-fic, if you ask me. I mean, who would believe that Elaine has any kind of romantic feelings towards LeChuck? Sure, she liked him, in that annoying-neighbor kind of way... but anything beyond that is just plain blasphemy.
Mr.Lukie Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 You people are crazy! Monkey Island 174: [insert Cleaver title here] was by far the best in the series! I was impressed by the new ability to liquidate any character who gives you a hard time (asta' la'vista, Cabana boy!) I was deeply saddened though, when I discovered that there were no explodable toothpicks. Those stupid censors! They ruin everything! They even cut out the "razor-blade shooting hair-dryer" sequence! Rightious morons! I mean, what evil could possibly come from exposing young children to brutal scenes of torture and homicide at an early age? I didn't think so.
Porky Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 You people are clearly all insane patients. Monkey Island 303: Day of the Monkey was by far the best. Anyway, great news! Monkey Island 401: Timmy Goes Hollywood has been confirmed! I can't wait!
Joshi Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 Originally posted by Mr.Lukie You people are crazy! Monkey Island 174: [insert Cleaver title here] Monkey island 174: Attack of the giant cleaver! sorry, ahd to say that. also, porky, they can't have confirmed MI 401, 400 hasn't even been created yet (check the first post, this may all be nonsense, but by god, we're gonna have continuity!) and Brief, i think what you refer to as MI0 hasn't actually got a number to it. it is actually called Monkey Island: before they were famous, which is of course has referances to Monkey Island 234: Systematic Sampling and Monkey Island 376: The Sound of Monkeys (wake up sleepy jean)
smith Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 Did anyone ever actually get a chance to play "Monkey Island 135: Yarr, thur be munkeys in them thur hulls?" I heard it was pretty rare, since it was only ever produced for an obscure format of CD which gave terrabytes of storage in a tiny tiny disk made from paper treated with special chemicals. Sadly, I've heard no known copies survive, since those chemicals had a tendency to burst into flames when exposed to oxygen. As I understand though, it was easily the biggest and best looking and sounding Monkey Island game ever.
Joshi Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 i think my friend had it (god rest his soul). all i know is that they heard the boom three miles away. pity really, but i think they're bringing it out in budget for a price of £60 for 12 disks to play it off of. it apperently has good graphics and sound with 4D elements.
Guano Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 Bah! I loved the Monkey Island 69: The Censored Edition and MI6: At Her Majesty's Service. I hope we'll see a sequel to that.
smith Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 There WAS a sequel - Monkey Island 007: Monkeys Are Forever. It had a bunch of Full Throttle type driving sequences, and Guybrush had a gadget equipped reversible Leather Jacket, so he could pose as either a leather jacket salesman or a flooring inspector, in his quest to stop Lehuck from using a giant miror on Monkey Island to melt the worlds polar icecaps, thus forcing more people to use boats that he could pirate.
Joshi Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 Yes, but Monkey Island 007: Monkeys Are Forever was a complete rip off of Monkey Island 234: The World is not a Monkey as they both took on the story line of lechuck trying to kill guybrush with a laser aimed at guybrushes crotch.
