    You bought the wrong game...

    Tales of Monkey Island is the new episodic MI game developed by TellTale.

    Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is the remake of the original MI developed by LucasArts and available on July 15th off Steam.

    These are totally new Monkey Island games. If you want a remake of Secret of Monkey Island you should buy the Monkey Island Special Edition by Lucasarts which comes out soon.

    seriously, is the concept of two different games so difficult for people to comprehend? I'm getting a headache.

    Hi,

    Tales of Monkey Island is not a remake of the old series. These are completely new episodes. But there is a remake in the making by LucasArts. It's called "Monkey Island Special Edition". Here is the link:

    Even if it is an honest mistake, Tales will not disappoint any Monkey Island fans.

    If you're not happy with what you bought, I'm sure you'll be able to email Telltale and get a refund. Or you could keep what you got; the game's really quite good.

    As others have said, the game you intended to buy was The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, which will be released on Steam on July 15th.

    thnx for all your quick replies. and i apologize for given certain peeps headaches and thanking them for sharing it with me. Too bad they can't understand it might be a bit confusing with two similar games with money island in them to be pretty newly released in july.

    it surely isnt disapointing to some level. but i do regret the purchase to some extent

    thnx all
