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...

[@Yosh2006]

The fuck is an ass story

[@SUCHMISH]

Also the fact that he held it 3 days prior too...

[@pilpyfimbleton8918]

And in the end, it's the _rope_ that fails, not his grip.

[@Tenraiden]

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]

The old games made up for lack of visuals with great music, great story and great planning. Since things got more advanced creators got lazier.

I can remember my dad buying me this game in the early 90s from the computer game shop and i initially complained about his game choice . . . but the game grew on me and since then i've become a monkey island fan.

[@stevesitkowski]

I swear to god this is the best game of all time. . . So many happy memories . It got me into video games and I have been honoured to play them all but none even compare to my first love . I’m a gamer geek and proud

[@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 :-)

[@whitebear5405]

My favourite game of all time. Tied only with Indiana Jone and the Fate of Atlantis.

[@iem7252]

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. I am interested in geography, maps, ships, history of the world and traveling because of this game. Exploring different cultures. God bless you George Lucas!

Don'tcha' just like like KZbin and then saying "Now i gotta play it again"?

[@AnimationAndMusicTimeTunnel]

I've just finished the secret of Monkey Island just now after not playing it for so long and it's still awesome and still a challenge. Going to do this one next so appreciate the guide incase it's needed (which it probably will at some point lol). One game I wish they'd re release which is just as good as this too is Discworld II Missing Presumed, that game is so underrated yet so good!!

[@THESCUMMBAR]

The Discworld games are tied up in rights issues unfortunately. But you can always pick up a copy from eBay and run it with ScummVM.

[@Gazing-09]

Guybrush shows Le chuck's beard to Largo. It's wriggling, like it's alive Largo: Lemme see that. Largo grabs the beard and shoves it down his pants Largo: It IS alive! *... What's it doing down there!?!*

[@JayMaverick]

You remember Largo's underwear? It's possible he's into some of the more kinky stuff.

[@maximeprometheas]

One of my favourite games of ALL TIME!

[@arcanetrivia]

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.

[@THESCUMMBAR]

Hey, thanks for noticing! I try to balance the "story" making sense versus not exhausting every single possible interaction (like a longplay would.) So I'm glad you appreciated it.

[@benwhite8075]

Wow this brings back so many fond memories of my childhood. I remember getting given this game as a birthday present from my dad. We would play it together. The music takes me back. Thanks for the video.

Le'Chuck on Customer Support for VooDoo Dolls. "Arrrrgh, this Voodoo doll you made me is defective! It was suppose to send Guybrush to a dimension of infinite pain and suffering!" "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.

45:00 "I was just transfered here. New Orders." Love the reference

[@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.

[@MattySadler]

Agree I find 3 very overrated.

[@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.

[@goopi_eh]

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

[@andybrookes4721]

31:00:31:40 when Largo took LeChucks beard and told Guybrush they could bring him back to life with it, why didn’t he use the voodoo doll to stop Largo? I never understood that 🤔

[@Fredcat11]

Guybrush perhaps overlooked that obstruction, or too stock to use it as he watched Largo walking off with the living beard stuffing his pants.

[@Tech-geeky]

1:15:19 ...wow.. i wish i could fix things that fast!! 1:17:50 ... I like the nice touches even though Guybush can't spit in the bar, yet the bartender is doing the same to clean glasses.

[@Rapanui5]

41:46 too bad you didn't read the "gorilla envelope" in which it says "Mr. Willy Gorilla. Arrested for grinding his organ in public" (at least it said so in the original version)

[@IceTrapta]

Yeah it still does say that, you get an organ along with it, right?

[@Tech-geeky]

[@kayneptuneable]

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.

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

looting i would say. Kids are probably gonna do that worse today anyway in todays games... They teach kids to kill with violence anyway.. So, suddenly teaching to steal doesn't sound soo bad.

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.

[@nuttyhops]

@@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.
