Can we just appreciate the fact Guybrush is holding onto a rope with one arm whilst he is holding onto a chest with the other and still manages to tell a whole ass story

[@deceiver444]

The guy has the strength of a super hero, no doubt. And the largest pockets known to man...

God that music. The way the actually melody dynamically transitions between scenes. And this was back in 1991! Almost. 30. Years. Why haven't more games with higher budgets done this since then?

[@THESCUMMBAR]

Even the enhanced remake didn't have the music transitions... ridiculous.

[@maximeprometheas]

Now that the Final Fantasy VII Remake has been released, check it out. Not only does the music dynamically transition between scenes, but once you enter combat mode it changes depending on how much action is happening - it becomes more intense when you're constantly attacking, and goes into a sort of sustained medium paced riff when you're just trying to keep your distance.

[@hcdenton]

@@THESCUMMBAR I think the modern version uses "pre-rendered" music whereas the original version used the sound card/midi to synthesize the music on the fly. Even when you switch back to the "original mode" in the remastered edition you don't get the correct music.

[@rovhalt6650]

[@maverick2009ish]

just started this one up again after playing this version couple of times after it came out in 2010, and was happily surprised tonight (its been a few years) and smiling when watching this game opening and playing it for 2hours (and just left scabb Island hehe, i am milking this one out this time) :-) feels like a new game all over again :-)

Amazing!! I have so many nice memories from my childhood during 1997 because of this game. I truly believe this game shaped me as an adult now.

Thanks for throwing in some Easter eggs and occasionally taking "extra" actions (from a streamlined playthrough perspective) that show the background for why you're about to do some given thing to solve a puzzle that might otherwise seem very non sequitur.

"Sir, what did you ask for specifically when you ordered the doll?" "I asked for a doll to cause harm to him and send him to another dimension you phone-jockey wench!" "Then the doll is working properly, as you did not specify a dimension when you asked for one to be made, the doll has it's coordinates set for the nearest sub-dimension. If he's re-appearing in the next room, then he's in the dimension the doll is set too." "... Arrr...err.... What dimension is the doll set too?" "According to your account with the VooDoo priest you requested, he set the coordinate to the dimension of Big Whoop, the theme park dimension; as the original treasure was deemed not only difficult to attain, but impossible." ".... Crab Baskets and Barnacle Butts! HOW DO I GET OUT OF HERE?!" "By our account of the sub dimension, you will need to exit where you will and the intended target will become children and re-live your lives in your new home for the rest of your years, attain a VooDoo doll with new coordinates set to the previous dimension you came from or bite the bullet as our policy when ordering from us is that you are to take full accountability with any and all actions you have performed with your purchase.

Best part about this is that Guybrush and LeChuck does the thing from Star Wars where Darth Vader (Anakin) tells Luke "I am your father" and Luke goes "Nooooo!!"

[@Tenraiden]

Man. No game since has ever successfully emulated that adventurous feel of exploring the islands of Monkey Island, especially the eternal-night first islands of MI1 and MI2. MI3 was okay, but the series was basically done by that point without the original creator(s) (Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman)

[@MrIAMNOTANOOB]

Tim Schafer actually had some involvement in the 3rd game. Dave Grossman and Ron Gilbert worked on Tales of Monkey Island. The 4th game, Escape, is probably where the series went into free fall.

[@kugelblitz5812]

Almost all of the puzzles I couldn't solve were on Phatt Island. I lost patience with the hand numbers game, the library card catalog, and I was so angry when I had to cheat to find out that I was supposed to put Kate's flyer on Guybrush's "wanted" poster. I would have probably played the game for months without ever thinking to try that without cheating.

[@shadowwake19]

I watched this like four times as background noise before i finally realized the number game is SO SIMPLE. What the door guy says means nothing, it's just whatever number of fingers he shows you first. I facepalmed so hard. (yes i realize this is a month old)

[@DeeCross]

In regards to the flyer and the wanted poster, you probably just have a kind heart. Maybe.

@@shadowwake19 Oh my god, thanks for explaining! I was just wondering what was up with that puzzle.

Rapp Scallion's Death is the explosion from his Steamin' Weenie hut on Scabb Island and he died on his 35th birthday from a flash fire by LeChuck. It is revealed in The Curse of Monkey Island to find out the other fates of Captain Marley's crew.

[@StrangerHappened]

*JUST as all adventure games,* this one is teaching children to steal right from the very first minutes of the gameplay.

The special edition of MI2 looks a lot better than that of MI1 imo

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

Most of the visuals of the special edition of M1 actually look decent. It has one huge problem though, Guybrush. Guybrush looks absolutely horrible! And since you are looking at him throughout the entire game, that is a pretty bad design to screw up on. Another big flaw in M1 SE is not being able to play with original graphics and voices like you can do in MI2 SE.

@@HerecomestheCalavera actually you can change it to original graphics... You press F10 in the first one and in the second game you press F1. Don't ask why they changed it.

​@@Charlyfromthenuclearcity Just close your eyes and think this was the only version in existence... Keep thinking there was no MK2 original.. This is a better version anyway..

Too bad too, they could of tempted users with extra gags only available with the SE version.. I wondered if Ron thought of that.

[@nicktinsley7779]

Btw - what makes this 'Special' as opposed to the edition that came before? Is it the jazzed up graphics & music? And the speech/voice acting? (Is the voice acting new on these later editions, or are they the same recordings from 1991?) THanks very much peeps!
