...what would you do with it? Pick up where you left off or try and reintroduce the series?

I have to admit, I didn't play it at all when it was available, and is regretting it horribly right now from what I've read about it.

    I don't believe we have ever held the Monkey Island license unless I have fallen into a time warp somewhere. Lucasarts should be the sole owner of that one.

    Well, a lot of the people that work/created TTG were responsible for Monkey Island, so it's kind of like their baby that was taken away from them by LA.

    It wasn't really taken. They never owned it. Lucasarts just got rid of, as Ben Croshaw but it, "Their creative division." Also Ron Gilbert who played a huge role, major understatement, is working on his new game DeathSpank. I think people should remember the games fondly and look forward to all the new work those talented people are putting forth.

    If I had the Monkey Island licence, I'd keep it locked up. Or I'd make a bunch of games involving pirates discussing philosophy in the SCUMM Bar. Whatever winds up annoying people more.

    Maybe they'll make a separate Voodoo Lady game (possibly involving philosophy). Now that would be gleefully annoying.

    Yeah, because she'd finish conversation trees before you initiate dialog.:p

    Yeah but she lies all the time. Plus, she only said that in EMI, which is everyone's least favorite.

    LucasArts are totally making a Monkey Island MMO with Bioware. It's the most outrageous conclusion one can jump to.

    Source
    Next year's Star Wars MMO, not being developed by BioWare or Sony Online Entertainment, will launch simultaneously for PC and consoles alongside the debut of the first Star Wars TV series in fall 2009, of which the storylines of the game will tie into. Those Artistic Lucases already have a second online title planned that I've heard has nothing to do with Star Wars.

    activision has the european licence for lucas arts and i don't think that EA would like that theyd have to share the profits (ea being a money grabbing machine)

    This is a really bizarre and nonsensical derailment.

    I found some CMI cutscenes on YouTube, and I have to say, for a point-and-click PC title that was around in the 90s (I think), the animation for that was on par with a lot of the shows they were airring at the time. I forgot that it was a PC title simply because of how fluid the animation was.

    maybe EA will publish it or have to settle for a small amount of profits?
