I actually cried when I played this and saw the transition to the new graphics. I played Monkey Island when it was first released 23 years ago - I was five years old and I have such fond memories of the game. I've been dreaming of the day when classic old games would get overhauled to look like new, but still have the great gameplay and storylines they had in those days. I love that they didn't touch the gameplay at all, but made it accessible to new players and oldies alike.
The remake was a complete success, people who played the original could play it all over again how they saw it in their heads when they were playing and today's youth can play it in HD graphics because its what they are used to.
I'm Bobbin. Have you seen my mother? Bobbin was the name of the protagonist in the Lucasarts game called Loom. Bobbin Threadbare. I have not played that game in over 20 years and yet I still remember his name.
Would have loved if the special edition was in the art style of the Curse of Monkey Island. There's nothing I loved more in this series than that game.
One of the nice things about retro, pixelated graphics is that, because of their low resolution, the player kind of has to half-imagine what the character looks like. Sharpen them up and no-one's gonna be happy. No-one can argue that the backgrounds don't look better though. Anyway, it only takes a click of a button to revert back to the old game, so quit complaining everyone.
This year sometime I hope I watch all the Monkey Island playthroughs, Earl Boen the actor who voiced LeChuck passed away this year, you might know him from the Terminator movies as Dr. Silberman.
GGRROOGG!! The circus brothers are funny. 17:18 LOL 35:45 Awesome fight sounds! I wish we could see it, it sounds amazing! Aack!Gophers! Grlpyt. Bgglw. Mfrnkf. Dmnkly. ROFL! Moss-covered, three handled family credenza?!? I've always wanted one! 57:05 Nick Fury! Insult fighting! Guybrush: "You have the manners of a beggar." Me: you shouldn't talk about your dad like that.
I'm probably one of the few who prefer the Special Edition over the original. Make no mistake, the original is and always will be a masterpiece. But I found the Special Edition more appealing due to the voice acting and I like the artwork even though yes, its quite cheesy.
Im none to fond of the new character designs either but the actual scenery looks really good and the voice actings always a plus. Still at least we can put it back to the old style if we want to , although i have a copy of the original still for that >_>
Grew up with this game...I remember completing it so many times over just because it was so much fun =D I still remember all the answers to the sword-fight statements lol!
mi is one of the rare cases that almost all games are very carefully designed! its difficult to distinguish one as the best, but i think that the first is the most important as it introduces the most features. maybe a bit simplistic, compaired to mi2 and mi3 but still a highly entertaining experience. this deluxe version is made very faithfully to the original and is excellent for people that are bored of adventures without speech (like me!)
You just spoke for all of the people on Earth, twice, in that comment. That takes some balls :D since it might be an opinion that you share with many people, but I'm pretty sure there are equally as many, or more, who'd rather not look at pixelated graphics, when the remake is perfectly fine, even if not a masterpiece. Btw, do you mean that people stopped being happy when games stopped being pixelated? So my favourite, and one of the greatest games, Grim Fandango, also made people unhappy, then?
I wanna ask for one thing, In The Secret of Monkey Island: SE when you choose classic version (F10), you have old version of game (graphic, sound) but without voice dialogs???Or I have bad verision of Special Edition.
I see on Lucas Website is possible to buy electronic edition. Someone knows if there is a CD/DVD edition with box of the Special edition(s)? Thanks a lot
You know, if there was an option to use the voices for the old graphics, I would have bought this in an instant. But I really hate the redrawn graphics.
+Mutant1988 You can turn off the updated graphics on the new one. Or you can buy the new one, and mess with a bunch of the files, use a scumm emulator, and presto, "Ultimate Talkie Edition"
monkey island games were solid! OK..some puzzles encouraged the player to think outside the box, but still I cant understand how anyone could get through without resorting to a walkthrough, but at the same time you probably had a moment where you'd kick yourself for not figuring it out sooner. even so, at the time the first monkey island games were released, walkthroughs weren't as accessible, you'd post to your gaming magazine for a hint, or hope one of your classmates who also owned the game had figured it out before you!
Game remakes are good for everyone except maybe fanboys, but who really cares about them right? Newer generations get to experience great games, companies get new audiences for their games, and veterans get to re-experience those great games with perhaps a few bonuses like HD.
Note in the beginning it said Deep in the Caribbean. And the Disney movies are called Pirates of The Caribbean. I think Disney got their idea for those blockbuster movies from these games. When the movies came I was a bit annoyed and was thinking. Why didn't they just name the movie Monkey Island and continued their legacy?? Would still have became basically the same movies.

MAN, this is weird. Can't say I like Guybrush's pony-hawk kinda thing, but they did a great job remaking this game! The voice acting is incredible!
I'm Bobbin. Have you seen my mother? Bobbin was the name of the protagonist in the Lucasarts game called Loom. Bobbin Threadbare. I have not played that game in over 20 years and yet I still remember his name.
The intro, when it changed from the old graphics to the new, gave me chills! Childhood memories with updated graphics! :)
Would have loved if the special edition was in the art style of the Curse of Monkey Island. There's nothing I loved more in this series than that game.
me 2 i want indianajones special edition

You must have learned handling your blade at a cooking class!
Totally agree, I am 18 and actually I bought this collection yesterday, and I am very happy about having the chance to play this fabulous game in 2012
This year sometime I hope I watch all the Monkey Island playthroughs, Earl Boen the actor who voiced LeChuck passed away this year, you might know him from the Terminator movies as Dr. Silberman.
GGRROOGG!!
The circus brothers are funny. 17:18 LOL
35:45 Awesome fight sounds! I wish we could see it, it sounds amazing! Aack!Gophers!
Grlpyt. Bgglw. Mfrnkf. Dmnkly. ROFL!
Moss-covered, three handled family credenza?!? I've always wanted one!
57:05 Nick Fury!
Insult fighting!
Guybrush: "You have the manners of a beggar."
Me: you shouldn't talk about your dad like that.
I cracked when the dog started speaking. I have to get this game.
just wanna say...thanks for making long plays like this because not all the time i want commentary and milion episodes :)
I wish they had redone the graphics 2D. The same cartoony style as the Curse of the Monkey Island. Best looking video game ever.
All hail mighty cubex for it's bounty to us loyal subjects.....yes for the record I am aware of what cubex is. Doesn't stop me nonetheless.
Watching again because the new installment is coming out next week!!!!
I'm probably one of the few who prefer the Special Edition over the original. Make no mistake, the original is and always will be a masterpiece. But I found the Special Edition more appealing due to the voice acting and I like the artwork even though yes, its quite cheesy.
It's a nice way to introduce a new generation to a timeless classic. Man, I wish Gabriel Knight or Loom would get the same treatment...
43:42 You and me both, Guybrush.
Damn that music at the beginning! made me cry a bit
I can't wait until they re-master Le Chuck's Revenge!
@ 0:50:26 I love the forest-music! Dat bass!
POTC was actually based on a ride in the Disneyworld theme park...
47:50--I'm dying!!! xDDDDD It's even more hilarious with voice acting!
takes some magic away from my fond memories of the original, alas
Im none to fond of the new character designs either but the actual scenery looks really good and the voice actings always a plus. Still at least we can put it back to the old style if we want to , although i have a copy of the original still for that >_>
And don't forget Simon The Sorcerer! :D
"no pirates means no swag" hahahaha
+Teemu Ilomäki what the fuck does that mean
Grew up with this game...I remember completing it so many times over just because it was so much fun =D
I still remember all the answers to the sword-fight statements lol!

42:27 "Uh" "Gee" "Well" "Gosh" wow so many different choices which one I should choose
Yes, but these, and POTC had ideas from this game :)
I wish this was the DS.
the unseen fight scene i find rather amusing!
@dchiou loom was the most epic game back then
Broken Sword's voice acting is so much better.
Excited!!
The part with the dog was funny lol.
I understand the newer style graphics, but I wish they had kept the old user interface.
roger barr from movie fights brought me here
I want a The Curse of Monkey Island special edition. :( Or at least a version I can play on my computer now.
leChuchks sounds like a character from wacraft 3 ,i don t remember wich one tough
great game anyways
The nostalgia :[ I should really just replay this game instead of watching it.
only wish they make another game so some of our question bout the voodoo lady can be answered
Where is it mentioned that the yellow flowers are tranquilizers? I never figured out how one was supposed to guess that.
Come on insults are cleaver. Like this "Hey waste of space I know pimples with better personalty."
Secret of the Loom was awesome!
ii like this version :)
I wanna ask for one thing, In The Secret of Monkey Island: SE when you choose classic version (F10), you have old version of game (graphic, sound) but without voice dialogs???Or I have bad verision of Special Edition.
I want to be a flooring inspector!
wow, there is really the TM sign next to monkey island in the dialogue with the dog? wtf
this was a great game!
If you wait long enough at 46:30 then a pair of pirates will eventually show up and talk about this or that.
God, the memories
Haha i'd love an "ask me about Loom" pin badge.
1:41:00 was a hell of a laugh.
How can people possibly be mad about this? If you don't want a remake you still have the original. There are literally no negatives here.
What's with those random bits of it morphing to the original version and back?
Scene comparison.
I see on Lucas Website is possible to buy electronic edition. Someone knows if there is a CD/DVD edition with box of the Special edition(s)?
Thanks a lot
Come to think of it, being able to hold your breath for 10 minutes is something that would really befit a pirate.
What is the best system for this? That's not a computer?
Hold 3!: "The moss covered Three handled family credunza!!!"
We´re loaded with booty!
hahaha... i'm rubber you are glue...
Prefer the original graphics (purely for nostalgia reasons), but I do like them having voices.
You fight like a dairy farmer!
How appropriate, you fight like a cow!
29:30 Dr. Finkelstien is that you????
they need to do this special edition stuff for the dig
Finally someone that played The Dig :)
Kicking that god forsaken wall in HD
You know, if there was an option to use the voices for the old graphics, I would have bought this in an instant. But I really hate the redrawn graphics.
Mutant1988 Ultimate Talkie Edition is what you're looking for. Lets you use the special edition voices with the classic graphics!
HellfirePlaythroughs
Wait, such a thing exist? Where can I buy it?
Mutant1988 It does.
+Mutant1988 You can turn off the updated graphics on the new one. Or you can buy the new one, and mess with a bunch of the files, use a scumm emulator, and presto, "Ultimate Talkie Edition"
Funk tim then.
The Troll is supposed to be George Lucas.
lol good one
No seriously. He's got the flannel shirt and beard and everything.
remember, it was also made by LUCASarts.
***** No. The troll being George Lucas makes him George Lucas.
LucasArts studio wanting the troll to be George Lucas makes him George Lucas
I think i will play it. i'm not that good at adventure games, but good thing it has a hint system

i have this on my itouch. its awesome :D.
This is way better than minecraft!!!
How do you change it to classic?
The troll is suppose to be George Lucas in disguise, right?
yeah I lol'd at this. especially when he eats the fish
Game remakes are good for everyone except maybe fanboys, but who really cares about them right? Newer generations get to experience great games, companies get new audiences for their games, and veterans get to re-experience those great games with perhaps a few bonuses like HD.
What about Loom?
0:15 sounds like the Chameleon brothers.
Try dosbox or go to compatibility settings.
@ToaHannah007 My guess is that PC is best, as it so often is.
that was not a full game play where was the ship an everything
Why?
yes, you have to download an emulator like summvm and then you can play those games :)
@xxXsTreamxx
king terenas probably
Você pode ser brasileiro e ao mesmo tempo entender um idioma universal como o Inglês.
still is!!!
if Disney has bought the Lucas Franchise, maybe one day they might make the adventures of monkey island into an actual movie, God I hope they Do!!!
3,283 videos?!?! i have trouble uploading a second video.
The emulator I have blocks my other games like 18 WoS and lego island 2 and lego racers 1and 2
Note in the beginning it said Deep in the Caribbean. And the Disney movies are called Pirates of The Caribbean. I think Disney got their idea for those blockbuster movies from these games.

No they won't.
Deponia!
ICH ZOCKE DIESES GAME NOCH AUF MEINEM AMIGA 1200 HD BLIZZARD IV
DEPONIA?!
*is
Same but I got win xp pro
I bet those dogs are dead :´(
a longplay is supposed to show ALL text and options in the game. what you are doing here is a walkthrough! this is completely insufficient
