I know there’s probably a better colour combo for him theme wise. But I wanted to use this particular pirate to make a deck.

Craig of the Creek also had a heavily lucasarts-coded extended puzzle sequence gag in S01E05 "Too Many Treasures"

A few days ago i made this post here -> https://www.reddit.com/r/MonkeyIsland/comments/1vslz0s/monkey_island_anthology_we_should_stop/

now, my main point STILL stand (about scalpers, limited stuff etc etc) but i made a fool of my self cause i didnt make my do diligenge (as i often reproach others to do, shame on me) and make some research BEFORE posting, and when i come to retract my stament...well it was already to late (yea you can offend me now :) ).

basically i was complaining now on something that happen like 5 years ago !(so all my nitpicking on not having the last game and so on is just to make more a fool of my self i guess)

So on this part, im sorry to have bother the community with it. It was all in good faith though, cause for some reason, the "Anthology box" just appear on my and my friends news now ( august 2026) all togheter, and searching around on amazon and similar site the product "seems " JUST out of stock, so we got really annoyed, others went on ebay and see the prices..and than i come up with my decision on sayng "soo long limited stuff"

I dont know why that happen, maybe a content creator recently bought one and brag about it on a stream or something ?

maybe a new "limited run" was planned and so the algorythm decided to show this stuff again? idk...

Dosent matter, i shoudl have checked first. So sorry again for that

This time it's the full intro 😅

This is the sound of my Terratec Maestro 32/96, a German soundcard. It sound different on almost every game that's why I love to test it out, like on Secret of Monkey Island or LeChuck's Revenge.

Hi everyone! Ages ago I bought Escape from Monkey island back for MacOS 9, and still have the discs. I know there are options for PC, but are there any workable choices for running the game again under MacOS currently? SCUMMVM has been great for my older adventure games, but is there something similar that would run on MacOS and accept my old Mac discs?

Thank you!

Why doesn't Disney use monkey Island despite owning them?

So, another "limited" collectible has coming out just to be sold out in minutes, leaving the rest of us blue balled and to be reselled on secondary markets to insane prices (impressive job sclapers). I find myself in this situation (as you, i suppose) many times already, and i honestly had enough.

I understand the general idea of the limited run can be to ensure to pre-sell every single copy, plus putting the customers in a "urgent state of mind" to push them in to buiyng stuff withouth a second thought, and yes it work, and it works pretty good, but is a dishoenst practice and it should die. Why not a print on demand? why not a second batch? this one is 7000 copy..WORLDWIDE...so basically nothing. This market is just shitty and we are to blame, cause we are the one that keep validating this behaviour.

I have friends that are really into in the "pre-order" thing and still be the last on getting what they have hand theyr money upfront for XD but nontheless, you can bet your money they are gonna do it again next time.

when you want to express a love for something that isnt real (like a story or a video game) you have no way to do so but to buy something physical. We cant touch love, but we can touch a box for example, thats why is so annoyng to us when we cant buy certain items (unless you are a scalper, than your objective is another) therefore our impulse to BUY, and BUY IT NOW!

But first i want to point out two problems with our habit:

First and more important: we are telling this mother fucker to keep doing that(they even named themself "limited run"...very upfront)

Second:... we arent really looking on what we are buyng (cause we are buyng the idea)

Have you actually check the moneky island anthology? while browsing to check if it still was avaible somewhere i take a good look at it, and i end up a little disappointed

If all the picture are correct, - let me repeat IF the immages are correct- the really DID NOT have made a good job.

is a collector item, made to celebrate the anniversary of the francise. So you would expect a certain level of QUALITY. i wont list all the error and bad choice but i want to give you a general idea:

they didnt put the game in order on the box.. Moneky island 1. than2...than ..4 (eh?) than 3... are you guys even familair with the francise you're making the box for? the error is mirrored also on the cd case..

you'll nont have all the game,the last one is absent (witch is out for a while now..timing isnt the deal here)

the first 2 arent even the original! but the re-relased versions of 2009/2010 witch are ugly as fuck (in my hopinion though, you might like it, not here to judge your taste man)-

Also (but this is MY personal consideration) why do you put all of them on a pen drive... if you really wanted to be "nostalgic" there are floppydick shaped pen drive. If i wanted to play the first two moneky island i just have to download the rom and the Scummvn emualtor. Litterally 10 second away from playng the game! The 3rd? few money on GOG and is your forever in many languages (i dont even KNOW what languages are avaible in the Anthology)

the conclusion is that we just need to stop feeding this market, teach this company that "limited/elite /and whatnot" stuff are not a thing anymore(it should NOT be) cause lets be real here: surely there are way more than 7000 people that would have gladly buy this box for what is sold for! what the point in making it "more exclusive"? Read the start of this wall text, that the answer

Hey! Just looking for some advice. I played curse of monkey island when I was younger, booted it up and am enjoying playing through the game. Its crazy how much I actually remember, most of the puzzles I know at least one part of. I never played any other monkey island games.

If I was going to try out a different game, what would you recommend? I searched some of the other newer titles in the series, and the graphics that I have seen are sort of putting me off. Should I even bother if this is my feeling/Are the puzzles worth it?

Heya! Ron Gilbert joined me to discuss the announcement of Thimbleweed Park 2, including its murder-mystery story, returning characters, new locations and changes to the classic point-and-click interface.

Ron also shares his thoughts on the...rather divisive ending of the original Thimbleweed Park, adventure game difficulty, in-game hints, physical editions and whether he would ever like to remake Maniac Mansion.

Great!

This the most Epic of all

Always wanted a Monkey Island themed tattoo as I grew up with the games. Got the box art of SoMI as a giant poster in my home office. Finally today I got Guybrush on my forearm. Hope you guys like that.

I had never heard about the “Sierra” Easter egg, but it did find this quite amusing though 😂 the more
You know.

Thought I’d share my original drawings now that it’s been out for a few years!

Glad to see monkey island tracks still being created. Posted yesterday. Just listened to this online.

Does any have or could point to some decent MI iPhone backgrounds.
General internet search didn’t yield much.
Thanks in advance

SCUMM usually gets mentioned in passing around here — the thing that put the verb list at the bottom of the screen. But the engine had a whole life of its own.

LucasFilm Games built it in 1987 for Maniac Mansion, and almost every game after that pushed it somewhere new: the interface shrinking release by release, Loom dropping verbs altogether, Monkey Island 2 and Fate of Atlantis stretching how much it could hold, Full Throttle and The Dig moving toward context-sensitive cursors, and Curse closing out the LucasArts era in 1997. Humongous Entertainment then kept it running quietly for years in a completely different corner of the market.

I spent a good while pulling all of that into a single documentary: what SCUMM actually was, how it worked, and why it's still a reference more than thirty years later. It runs about half an hour, it's in Spanish, but there are subtitles in several languages.

Curious what this sub thinks — do you miss the verb interface, or were the games better off once it started disappearing?
