Monkey Island is back
I just saw the trailer for Monkey Island 5
and the trailer for the remake of Monkey Island
and I am all psyched out! One of my favorite games, one of the games I grew up with, is about to have a big comeback! I feel like little child again.
The new game “Tales of Monkey Island” will be released as episodes, pretty much like the modern Sam & Max game (though I still prefer to play the old classic in ScummVM).
And speaking of old classics. You can see more of the remake of The Secret of Monkey Island over at Lucas Arts. It’s so awesome! And Ron Gilbert, the creator of the original game, even says that “purists will also delight in the ability to seamlessly switch between the updated HD graphics and the original’s classic look”. WoW!
On his blog you can read his insights about the (re)creation of the game. It’s pretty impressive and interesting: Stuff and Things and Monkey Island

This will be an awesome adventure summer! I guess I’ll hang out a lot at the Summ Bar, looking out for three-headed monkeys and selling fine leather jackets while enjoying my Grog made from kerosene, glycol acid, artificial sweeteners, sulfuric acid, rum, acetone, red dye #2, scumm, axle grease, battery acid and/or pepperoni.
