    I took your Guybrush and stuck him into the concept art, scaled to CMI's resolution, and added in the verb coin and text

    Awww :( That would have been so cool

    This is what I think Monkey Island 2 Le Chuck's Revenge Special Edition should look like.

    I would simply be thrilled to participate in someway in a Monkey Island 2 remake, but I simply hope that Lucasarts can check this stuff and see what we expect from such a remake.

    A game that looks first class, with great artistic style and faithful to the original one at the same time. No strange designs with characters we love.

    I really love TSOMI as a first try and as a comeback after so many years, but Monkey Island 2 must really be state-of-the-art!

    With that, I must ask, is there any way I can get the old games on SCUMM or something?

    Tim get rid of that link. Neither is MI abandonware nor does an "abondonware" status mean it's legal to copy it. It just means that you think it's unlikely that somebody will prosecute, but with LA still around not even that is the case.

    Consider it done. Thanks for the heads up.

    If you buy The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition, you'll get the original anyway, and it works with ScummVM, you just have to extract it from the game. As for the rest, look around Online someone is bound to be selling the games, just grab a copy and use ScummVM to run the thing. :)

    OK, cool. I'll have to search. :)

    Actually, I thought Irishmile's were a Sonic the Hedgehog homage. What the heck, I'll take both, to go please.
  • edited July 2009
    Mine is actually from the New Super Mario Bro Wii

    The Moon is from CoMI, Guybrush, giant wind thingy and the palms are from ToMI ... The sky and clouds are made in photoshop

    I cried tears of manly joy at seeing these. These are hilarious; but they look like games I'd play at the same time.

    I wonder what sort of enemies you would see in a Super Monkey Island game.
  • edited July 2009
    Sorry, there are only PS3s all around me (not a single Wii, not a single XBOX360).

    When I see an abstract block-type brown pattern with a narrow grass top and palms on top, along with some simple deformations I think of Sonic and nothing else. :)

    That's easy: Pirates with turtle shells.

    Wow just wow. looks amazing hands down.

    I will say tho, i can live with 3D if this room and the Voodoo ladys place, is an indication of the quality and detail, Telltale will use from now on im this game but also others like Sam & Max.

    It's a crying shame that I've yet to play the Grim Fandango. I've heard such great things about it! Is it for sale online anywhere that I could possibly pick it up for cheap, or will I have to wait and see if LucasArts puts it up on Steam/D2D, etc?

    Also, that's a fantastic photo edit Irishmile! Looks like it could have been a real bonus/easter egg for the game! Keep up the great work! :D

    We can pray that Lucas Arts bring more games to Steam and other online platforms, i must say that screenshot really also wanna make me play Grim Fandango again, sadly as with the problem with cd's they just cant survive to much use :( my grim fan... disc died along time ago.

    My discs are all messed up too.... I think my kids spilled soda on them and tried cleaning it up themselves...

    If the discs aren't physically damaged by the soda you can try cleaning the surface with rubbing alcohol, works wonders for me.

    I had a copy of Hunter: The Reckoning Redeemer that I bought on ebay that arrived with weird dried liquid residue on the information side of the disc and I cleaned it with rubbing alcohol and it worked perfectly after that.

    Just make sure you use a soft cloth to clean it, and put the alcohol on the cloth, not the disc itself. If you get too much alcohol on the disc for too long, it can warp the disc.

    They are all scratched up.... but there is a trick I learned that sounds crazy but it works for minor scratches.... if you rub "gel" style toothpaste on it and then wash it off the disc reader will read it again.... but it doesn't work on really bad scratches.

    I can vouch for that... though I have also had it work with normal white paste toothpastes. I tried it randomly as a child on a PC Gamer disc, after trying every other thing in the house, and it suddenly started working again!

    If it's just the transparent side, you can simply use car polish to get rid of the scratches. There's no data on that side, so taking a few tenth of a millimeter off won't do any damage.

    Any volunteers for the web team rescue party? :D

    maybe they are fighting off a Shambling Corporate Presence...... but probably not because I guess they are friends with Lucasarts now.

    That's OK. I still thought it was a funny and amusing image.

    One more image that just had to be done (eventhough others could probably have done it better):

    So is this thing officially or unofficially DOA?

    anyway lets go classic shall we?
    Simple... yet.... It makes my mind wander and think about how funny the two franchises would be if they ever clashed... Imagine Herman being the cause of one of Graham's deaths.
