MI1 and MI2 Link?


Recommended Posts

I'm really thinking about creating a Monkey Island fan-game which fills this gap. It would start exactly where part one lefts off, and ends with Guybrush sitting around the campfire with Bart and Fink... telling his LeChuck stories yet another time. It would be really fun I guess... but I have such little time, and it would be hell of a lot of work... though I would really LOVE doing it...

 

BUT, most Monkey Island fan-games were shut down by Lucasfilm, and especially something this close to the original characters would not be very well recieved by them, I guess.

You mean "Klik'n'Play", but yeah, that one wasn't really suited for adventure games. I was going to use AGS, a free program specifically designed for adventure games, like the ones from LucasArts and Sierra. Some people even redid the Scumm-Interface for it, so that I could make my game look exactly like the original MI1 or MI2... but as said, I am still not sure when I could do it... I just don't have any time.

The time between the two games is probably about a year. In that time, conversations from the second game suggest the following happened:

 

After Guybrush defeated LeChuck, Elaine and Guybrush moved in together, and then Guybrush awoke one day to find Elaine had left him forever, and hadn't left a forwarding address. Whether he meant to find her, or maybe he was just searching for Big Whoop, he decided to travel a bit in search of the greatest treasure of all. Big Whoop. He got to Scabb island, somehow, and couldn't get off again because Largo was the law and didn't "let's nobody on or off!". From there, we pick up the story as Guybrush.

 

So yes, that did happen.

One of the hilights of that game, I think, would be seeing how Elaine and Guybrush's short relationship comes to an end. Oh, and to add to the list of things that happened, Guybrush wrote a book called "The Time I Blew Up LeChuck", and Elaine wrote a book about her time with Guybrush. Both are found in the Phatt Library.

 

Although somehow I doubt writing a book would make for interesting gameplay :p

Yeah, and the story about his beard... well, when Elaine left him, he was so bummed, that he kept sitting at home, just staring at the wall, without a shower, without SHAVING... And Guybrush decides to go after Big Whoop... getting himself the nice blue coat, and not shaving... you know, just for the looks. His life should change right now...

 

Oh, and yeah, that company should be called "Elaingels" MUHAHA!

Big Whoop is a famous pirate treasure, so there would be no problem with Guybrush knowing of it's existence.

 

As for Largo... I can only guess he was made right hand man in the year between SOMI and Mi2. Perhaps he was the one who brough LeChuck back to life, I dunno.

LeChuch doesn't exist in between MI1 and 2. ¬ He was probably right hand man before LeChuck died, seeing that the ghost crew in MI1 was from a ship where everybody was killed to serve as Chuckie's crew.

LeChuck doesn't need to exist in between MI1 and 2 to make Largo right hand man. ¬

 

Just say that LeChuck's followers, pressuming he still had some, re-grouped after MI1 to find LeChuck's body and bring him back to life. Now Largo had only been a minor player before now, but suddenly he's rallying everyone together. Then, he finds the body, orders all the voodoo magic stuff and BAM LeChuck is back in business. Of course the first thing he does is make Largo his right hand man for bringing him back! Or perhaps Largo worked alone! It would explain why he wasn't in SOMI!

 

Then again, your idea of him being right hand man whilst LeChuck was still alive kind of makes more sense. ;¬

Oh wait, Remi... You're right. I just remembered that Largo brings LeChuck back to life during MI2, and not before it. I blame writing posts at 6am having not had any sleep previously. ¬

 

Anyway, it still makes a great fanfic!

 

"The head of monkey island loomed ahead like a big head of a monkey! LeChuck: I come back now you are my right hand Largo. Luke: I feel the force. Then largo walked off and bit guybrush’s head off! Then largo walked off! Elaine had hot sex0r the end."
