That's all very well but if Guybrush had referenced this in some way it might have been easier! In the US a spanner is called a monkey wrench, am I right? At 11 years old I didn't know this...

True, it would have been easier had it been referenced. I was a similar age though and in the UK and although it took ages, I love the puzzle.
Secret of Monkey Island: It was my first game for my AMIGA ever. Must have been in the very early 90s, and of course, it was a pirated four-disc-copy with corresponding copied code-wheel, sad to say! It wasn't for another 10 years that I actually knew what the code-wheel actually looked like, when I bought the "LucasArts 10 adventures" which thankfully had the original MI1 and MI2 wheels inside. I really don't remember much about the gaming experience, besides not setting my speakers up right and therefore playing the first few days with only one speaker on. Honestly: Monkey Island sounds totally different that way.
MI2 was one of the first games i played on my first PC (386-DX40). It was the first adventure i ever played, too. And i really liked it, hell yeah, i liked it! Got the hole stuff from my uncle. Thanks to him i got into pc-gaming. Thanks to him i work in IT-Business now. God rest his soul!
And yeah, i played MI1 after i played MI2, shame on me...

Wow, whoever copied that code wheel must have been dedicated. Do you remember the Team 17 code booklets? They would have been a bugger to copy!

it wasn't really hard to do that, you just had to seperate the two parts, copy them, cut out the little holes for the numbers and put the two parts back together.
i don't know the english word for these brackets (maybe envelope brackets? pack brackets? sleeve braces? i give up....), but they're perfect to replace the thingy in the middle which holds the two parts together
I had a box set for the Amiga 1200 that included Secret and Le Chuck's Revenge plus Maniac Mansion and two others, but I forget which ones now... possibly Zak McKracken
It was Curse that I really fell in love with though. It was absolutely perfect - the dialogue, design, animation, story. Faultless.
It had LeChuck's revenge as well? Are you sure it wasn't the Classic Adventures Pack which had Monkey 1, Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken, Loom, and Indy Last Crusade?

Yeah, you're definitely right... that's the one. I remember now, I bought LeChuck's Revenge separately!
Tales of Monkey Island will be my first exposure to the series, as I was a late-comer to the Adventure genre with Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis and Day of the Tentacle. Thankfully, Telltale picked the right game to remake and then make a new series of episodic games for. ^_- Now how about a remake of Sam & Max: Hit the Road (which my best friend played but I never got a chance to)?
We was going through a box of old pc games at a friends house he dug out Curse i loved the cartoony style of the box he had only gotten out of le chucks ship and onto Plunder Island. When i eventually got him to turn it on i saw it was a point and click and i loved Broken sword 1 and 2 (had completed them both at the time) i seemed to click to the crazy puzzle style eventually having been used to the saner style of Broken Sword.
i did one of the thing's he was stuck on (cant remember what) he carried on playing after he left i got a copy of his disk (neither of us had the internet to buy it and we were little i own it legally now of course) and we played it together both helping eachother (although i was on mega monkey) and we eventually completed it he got the original 2 i played through both at his place then eventually escape came out i played ps2 he played pc and now here we are both waiting to do it again.

And I became addicted to LA adventures... tracking down Zak Mckracken was hard.

A real DOH! moment.
Once you know it's very clever but very very frustrating until that point!
