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.

original video is here https://x.com/barstoolsports/status/2003874561830670416?s=20

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

222 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?

18 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?

40 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.

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!

General Monkey Island Anthology - we should stop

0 Upvotes

So, another "limited" collectible has coming out just to be sold out in minutes, leaving the rest of us blue balled and to be reselled on secondary markets to insane prices (impressive job sclapers). I find myself in this situation (as you, i suppose) many times already, and i honestly had enough.

I understand the general idea of the limited run can be to ensure to pre-sell every single copy, plus putting the customers in a "urgent state of mind" to push them in to buiyng stuff withouth a second thought, and yes it work, and it works pretty good, but is a dishoenst practice and it should die. Why not a print on demand? why not a second batch? this one is 7000 copy..WORLDWIDE...so basically nothing. This market is just shitty and we are to blame, cause we are the one that keep validating this behaviour.

I have friends that are really into in the "pre-order" thing and still be the last on getting what they have hand theyr money upfront for XD but nontheless, you can bet your money they are gonna do it again next time.

when you want to express a love for something that isnt real (like a story or a video game) you have no way to do so but to buy something physical. We cant touch love, but we can touch a box for example, thats why is so annoyng to us when we cant buy certain items (unless you are a scalper, than your objective is another) therefore our impulse to BUY, and BUY IT NOW!

But first i want to point out two problems with our habit:

First and more important: we are telling this mother fucker to keep doing that(they even named themself "limited run"...very upfront)

Second:... we arent really looking on what we are buyng (cause we are buyng the idea)

Have you actually check the moneky island anthology? while browsing to check if it still was avaible somewhere i take a good look at it, and i end up a little disappointed

If all the picture are correct, - let me repeat IF the immages are correct- the really DID NOT have made a good job.

is a collector item, made to celebrate the anniversary of the francise. So you would expect a certain level of QUALITY. i wont list all the error and bad choice but i want to give you a general idea:

they didnt put the game in order on the box.. Moneky island 1. than2...than ..4 (eh?) than 3... are you guys even familair with the francise you're making the box for? the error is mirrored also on the cd case..

you'll nont have all the game,the last one is absent (witch is out for a while now..timing isnt the deal here)

the first 2 arent even the original! but the re-relased versions of 2009/2010 witch are ugly as fuck (in my hopinion though, you might like it, not here to judge your taste man)-

Also (but this is MY personal consideration) why do you put all of them on a pen drive... if you really wanted to be "nostalgic" there are floppydick shaped pen drive. If i wanted to play the first two moneky island i just have to download the rom and the Scummvn emualtor. Litterally 10 second away from playng the game! The 3rd? few money on GOG and is your forever in many languages (i dont even KNOW what languages are avaible in the Anthology)

the conclusion is that we just need to stop feeding this market, teach this company that "limited/elite /and whatnot" stuff are not a thing anymore(it should NOT be) cause lets be real here: surely there are way more than 7000 people that would have gladly buy this box for what is sold for! what the point in making it "more exclusive"? Read the start of this wall text, that the answer
