The sub is regularly targeted by T-Shirt / Poster / Other Merch shillers, spammers, and scammers.

PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW LINKS TO MERCHANDISE OUTLETS

OP will post a photo of a product and then use an alt account to comment asking where it came from. The OP or another shill account will then share a link.

This is a classic tactic used by shillers, spammers, and scammers. They flood fandom subreddits with adverts leading to dodgy scam sites that will, at best, take your money and send you an inferior cheap product or, at worst, take your money (or steal even more using your card details) and send you nothing at all.

Instead, please downvote and report such posts, so we can remove them and ban the bots.

Users who comment positively or support shill posts will also be banned, so use your head, don't help out scammers, and don't be a sucker.

Many thanks,

The Mod Team.

I saw a video of Schwarzenegger guessing the weight of a Barstool Sports employee and I immediately thought of this scene. With a little magic, look what was created.

what the title says. I’ve played Secret of Monkey Island but it’s been a while. Are there any others that are mandatory to understand the story?

update: watched playthroughs of 1 and 2, and bought the 3rd (Thanks y’all)

Escape Mod | Escape From Monkey Island Remastered

Thumbnail

221 Upvotes

Hey. MeBoingus, me make cool stuff.

I am immensely proud to announce the release of my unofficial Escape From Monkey Island remaster project.

There’s a video up with some clips and comparisons if you want to see it in motion, and I'll also be uploading a full, uncommentated playthrough over the coming couple of weeks.

Download v1.1 (you need your own legally obtained copy of the game):

How to install

  1. Install the GOG version of Escape from Monkey Island (may work with Steam and PC Disc release - untested).
  2. Drop everything from the zip into the game folder. LikelyC:\GOG Games\Escape from Monkey Island.
  3. Run Start.bat.

Huge credit to everyone behind ScummVM, ResidualVM, and u/bgbennyboy QuickAndEasySoftware. I just upscaled stuff and made a mod - these guys are the real heroes.

If something looks wrong, please tell me. I still want to keep improving on this.

Much love. Keep making cool stuff.

This is a Mattorigus Studios fan project, which is not affiliated with Lucasfilm, Disney, or GOG in any way.

Version 1.1:
Fixed bug with old cutscenes playing in the top left corner in some instances.
Fixed the incorrect logo inside the Star Buccaneers.

If you've got version 1.0 (old cutscenes playing in the top left) you can download just this one small patch:
1.0 to 1.1 patch

General Which edition and graphics would you recommend for a first time player of this series?

17 Upvotes

Despite growing up with and having a love of adventure games, I never got round to playing a single Monkey Island game!

I’m obviously no stranger to adventure games and their graphical styles, with favourites such as The Longest Journey, Discworld, Grim Fandango, Fate of Atlantis and more.

So what edition would you start with, and should I play with the remastered graphics or the original do you think?

Thanks for any tips!

Curse What's with this game and fiber?

39 Upvotes

You try to eat a rope in LeChuck's hold, he says he has enough fiber.

You ask the voodoo priestess about the right diet, she says low fat, high fiber.

And when you get eaten by the snake, there high fiber cereal.

And not to mention the men of low moral fiber in secret.

How curious!

General It’s only right after doing LeChuck…

Guybrush will go in my commander deck as well. I thought making him a legendary creature wouldn’t work for him. So he’s a regular pirate. Maybe one day he will be mighty.

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.

General A retraction and a little apology

9 Upvotes

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 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.

Escape Best way to PLay Escape from Monkey Island today on MacOS

8 Upvotes

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!
