I really wish people would talk about this game more, its such a great eerie, tense game

Good Game, just not as good as Secret, Revenge or Return😏 Sorry but i cant take people like you seriously who use the word PEAK...its cringe and people need to stop using that word. Its just a buzzword😒

720p what a shame...

Good observations, I love how aggressively you can act in this tactics game

I think if you look at your ship's hold you can tell how much money you have for cannons

Someone who grew up in the time always has a different view.. For example,, i grew up in the Amiga days, and is always remains nostalgic to me over any games you make today..Yes their good, but i always find myself going back to the 1980's of Commodore 64/Amiga Compare that with games you make in the 90's or even music, the same rules apply... You'll always favor those than anything later.. even if the story is better.. because that was "your" idea, or you grew up in the moment,, so you'd rather stick to it like glue.. I can understand why Ron wanted Mi3 like that. The remake of Great Gianna Sisters is terrible .... Give me the original Amiga one anyday.. The music was also way better. (Maybe you'd like to know Telltale died off..) shortly after.. I still reckon 'Tales of Monkey Island' was too much of a budget-blow, that was the final nail for them.

Best game ever

Will you review Return?

Interested to hear your review of Return to Monkey Island!

You can skip the naval battles by using Shift+V. Also, the cannon at the top of the list, is always 1 victory's worth of booty. The second is 2 victories and so on and so on. So you can either come back and get the very next update after each victory, or just stock up on booty until you have enough to buy the final cannon.

I played through this game several times over the years and it was only during my most recent playthrough (which was last week) that I figured out that Van Helgen is a reference to Van Halen. 😅

I find it really funny that in a game about pirates, people complain about guybrush causing trouble. He's a pirate. Also, he caused a lot of trouble in the first games as well - I don't know why you think he acted differently in the 2nd game. He killed the governers dogs, stole credit from the shop keeper's safe, stole fish, meat and a pot form the chef at the scumm bar, marooned his crew on monkey island (one possobel ending), stole fruit from the natives of monkey island and then conned them into giving away their navigator. Guybrush isn't a moral guy.

Wow! That was most harsh review of MI2 that I ever came across! :⁠-⁠D And in many things I agree with you: pixel hunting, bra/dress joke, Guybrush as a sociopat, less "piratey" atmosphere. But cannot agree on the puzzles. Yes, some of them was ridiculus and used moon logic, on the other hand they perfectly fit game structure. Many of them are best in history... Fetch quests? Well it's just staple of adventeru games/rpg of the era. I never felt like it was wasting my time, I felt acomplishment. Even Guybrush as unlikeable as he is fits game narration (ending and anachronizims). I think MI1 is a better pirate/comedy game but MI2 is better adventure game!

Just come across this whilst looking forward to Return. You’ve got a new sub off the back of it, keep up the great work

Curse has the bes OST on the series. By far. And, to me, is one of the best games: the atmosphere, the sound, the music, the whole feeling is wonderful. I still preffer MI2, though.

There is a way to make to make all the prosthetics less painful. You're able to combine all of them into a mini abomination. That way, it just takes up one inventory slot.

you can't play it with the original graphics and voice acting making this version useless. the remaster characters are really blandly stylized, their level of detail makes the limited animation look incredibly tacky, the color use is significantly worse and they literally used comic sans for stan's sign instead of drawing it by hand. if you want voice acting get the talkie version off archive.org and copy your preferred soundtrack (original cd, remaster) to the main game folder then run the game with scummvm

I really wanted to love this game. But it is a fine example of ruining a classic series catering to "making one we can sell on consoles". This isn't Resident Evil. TANK CONTROLS IN MY POINT AND CLICK ADVENTURE?!?!? Honestly, never got past the last fight against giant LeChuck because I could only work a strategy that slowly chipped damage away. The final battle was looking to take 30 minutes or longer. (wait you just draw 3 times?!) So much bullshit in this game. I liked the TellTale series so much more than this 3D polygon'd crap.

11:23 I am actually happy for you to find out about the multiple endings that way. It´s something you wouldn´t think about back in the 90s. Different endings depending on how you play - say what!? :D

0:15: Nope. In 1990, computers were running on MS-DOS 4.0, and file names had 8+3 characters, all upper case. And data were not stored on CD-ROMs, but on diskettes. And Star Wars Episode 1 came in 1999.

It's a great game and I do prefer it to the first one personally, but claiming it's better than Monkey 2 was always going to be a controversial opinion. I'll always appreciate the fact that it managed to feel like a real Monkey without the original team behind, which was in and of itself a true miracle. I'm glad Ron is coming back, because I wouldn't trust anyone else to bring back Monkey at this point, I don't know if 3 was peak but it was certainly the swansong of the series.

Great video man!

(BIG SPOILERS FOR MI1) The same joke about your actions being pointless is also in the first game... you complete three quests to impress the important looking pirates, only for them to disappear so you gather a crew to go save Marley... only for the crew to mutiny... so you find your way into the heart of Monkey Island, only for the ghost ship to sail back to Melee island... so you go to save Marley, only to ruin her plan that would have saved herself. Everything would have been fine if you hadn't gotten involved!

1990 Monkey Island on our trusty Amiga.

The graphics are ugly.

The ship combat sequence is a parody of Sid Meier's Pirates.

I loved this game ever since I first bought it from Best Buy when you still bought PC games at Best Buy, then when I bought it again on Steam a couple years ago for like $1.50. I'm disappointed at the sequel, but I must've played this one front to back 30 times over the years. Also it was very funny finding out the sentry stone was based on a walking alien rock from old Dr. Who. Crazy stuff.

6:33 The items in the pot aren't random. They are all listed in the journal on board as ingredients for making the magic potion for traveling to Monkey Island, but with a twist. So instead of 1 Pressed Skull it's a skull and cross-bones flag.

Looking forward to the Tales of Monkey Island video. Love these games. So hyped for new Monkey Island!

the ship combat is a homage to sid meier's pirates

I know it'd be incredibly stupid to do and they never would, but it might be cool to have re-re-masters of the first two games with a pixel art style that's closer to games like Octopath Traveller or the unfortunately-named Triangle Strategy. That's what the first thing in that Ron Gilbert rubric sounds like.

I'll subscribe, but only when i can be the 69th sub

I really like curse but it's no mi2. The jokes just aren't as clever and it didn't even have the original writers.

I didn't discover until well after my playthrough that the "useless items" could be combined to save inventory space. Collect and combine them all to unveil an easter egg!

Great review! This game is such a mix of bad and good and bad.. Its held back by the worst adventure-game control scheme, and layers of "old game" problems.

you are wrong.

Good breakdown.

This is a gaming public service announcement. If you too want to experience or re-experience this gem of a game, it is free through Prime gaming during the month of May.

That link that you mention at 1:20 isn't in the description jsyk :0

Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge is FREE now on for Amazon Prime member 'til 05/02/2022. Hope that's of use to a fan.

for years I misheard the term "Moon Logic" thinking they said "Loom Logic" as in the Lucasarts game Loom. Made much more sense to me

born on a march 23rd and 23rd subscriber.

Great review of one of my favourite games. Love cornish folklore. Have you played the free game a date in the park? It's for those needing more of this

Just found your channel. Keep up the great work! Liked and subbed!

Video games were for the vast majority still stored on floppy disks, not cd's. I remember when I got those shiny 11 disks for Monkey 2. (Monkey 1 was on 4)

🔥

dying with the RTX ON

Would love to see a Shadowrun game that only takes place inside the walled city Kowloon. Like a huge open world where you have your own apartment and can purchase businesses in the city.
