Talk:Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge

message: As mentioned below, I took it upon myself to correct several details regarding the end of the story. The corrections ended up being quite a bit longer than I'd anticipated. Would it be worthwhile to rework the whole plot summary, maybe break it into its component acts?

message: "The two brothers, one from the wound and the other from the gas, fall unconscious and wake up in an amusement park, as children."
Are there different versions of the game? When I played it, the brothers were discovered by an employee of the amusement park, who says something among the lines of: "Hey, you kids shouldn't be here.". They never "fall unconscious". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.146.104.168 (talk • contribs) 18:07, 16 August 2006

message: What's the point of those icons in this and the "The Secret of Monkey Island" -article. I think they look funny and are wrongly placed (if it was in the template it would be OK).--Wormsie 10:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As fair-use images, they should only be kept if there is a point. Rather than there being no point to removing them. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 18:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

text: The usage of icons doesn't seem to be very uniform - some articles like that of SimCity 4 has an icon in the info box (which I think would be a good place, as for example ScummVM has its icon there - too bad the template doesn't support it), most game articles don't seem to have one at all. And besides, are those official icons? And what's the point of them? I think they just look "unprofessional", especially when placed like that. DOTT doesn't have an icon, Sam & Max: Hit the Road doesn't have an icon, Grim Fandango doesn't have an icon, The Curse of Monkey Island and Escape from Monkey Island don't have icons... I thought they were just put there by some enthusiastic fan who just wanted something to contribute, and didn't really care if it looked ugly or not.--Wormsie 12:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: So you say that they should stay. Shouldn't we all agree on something? Pictureuploader 12:56, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't remember saying that icons should stay... I meant that when someone said "Wikipedia articles don't have icons" I wondered if that was some sort of... Wikipedia policy? I don't know. Personally, I'm still against icons. :-P--Wormsie 10:14, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Please can we sometime settle on the matter of icons? During the last two days, someone restored it and someone else re-removed it. If others are pro icons except me, why don't they write their opinion here? Pictureuploader 02:17, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, looking at the icon used for the Monkey Island 1 article, if memory serves correctly, doesn't the Macintosh version of the game use that icon? --4.156.210.217 13:51, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello people, I know it's been nearly a year since this discussion took place. But I just want to point out something. If the images are copyrighted then they cannot be there, they fail the fair use criteria due to the fact fair use images must be involved in part of a discussion (for example a screenshot which has text about the game, or box art with all the release info are both acceptable, an icon for display reasons is not). Otherwise they're perfectly fine in my opinion and it comes down to aesthetics. Sorry to bump this topic but it didn't look as if there was a result to the discussion. ●BillPP (talk|contribs) 16:47, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Uhm, the music in MI2 is definitely just MIDI. Has nothing to do with MOD. If you don't believe me, rip the files yourself with ScummRevisited. The music was definitely not made with a tracker, and the sounds are MIDI sounds, not samples.--Wormsie 15:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Special Edition

message: The short story summary at the beginning of the article states that "The sequel involves Guybrush's attempts to [...]win back Elaine's love". As I remember it, the only moment of affection between the two in Monkey Island 2 is when Guybrush sweet-talks with her to obtain one of the Big Whoop map pieces. I can't remember any dialouge or events in the game that implies that one of Guybrush's goals is to win back Elaine.

thread_title:  SE version announced 

message: I'd like to point out since the SE release of this game, there has been cometary by the original makers, maybe someone could make a triva section of what the mentioned, but one section in here I'd like someone or me to change since the SE game is this
"According to Gilbert, the Monkey Island series was partially inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Monkey Island 2 features a number of tributes to it, particularly a scene with a guard dog in a prison being lured by a bone and Disneyland" 
either in the commentary they said the dog was ripped from the game from the pirate movie, or that disney ripped it all off by MI
and the dogs name was revealed in the Com to not of been named after walt disney, just by someone who was working on the game, dog named walt, but they thought that the dog named after walt Disney would be better 
there is alot more, but I only ask because someone( with alot of time on there hands) could improve the article more by adding everything the creators have said in the SE verison  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.232.5.243 (talk) 05:43, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I've just reacently noticed that Big Whoop is the spitting image of booty island, if you look carefully you can see that the buildings are the same shape and are in the same place, but with things added too them, you can also see a giant S at the furthest right corner of Big Whoop which clearly belongs to Stans, although it does lack the lights.
I just thought I should mention this it's up to whom ever reads this what it mean.
I've written this here because I don't think it acctually belongs in the article, if for some reason you don't believe me, you can compare the two place yourself.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.103.116.63 (talk) 15:51, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivial 

message: No references to the fact that the developers, in the Special Edition commentary, have stated the ending polarized fans and that MI2 has landed on both the Top 10 Best AND Worst Endings among video games. To be perfectly honest, the Reception feels very sparse, and I'm sure that there's more documentation floating around the internet someone (who is better at finding good references) could locate and use to update the article. As someone else in here stated, there was a lot of information in the SE commentary that reveals Ron Gilbert's thoughts on the game (and the sequels).--68.6.182.39 (talk) 06:23, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reception 

message: Okay, so I played this game back when it first came out, and Elaine NEVER mentioned anything about a "SPELL" in that last end scene. That was added into the Special Edition version. There was a scene with Elaine in the original, but all she said was, "I wonder what's keeping Guybrush?" I changed this before, and even cited my sources (Youtube LPs of both the original Amiga version, dated from 2006 four years before the SE version was released, and the new SE version, dated from 2010), but someone decided to change it back without justification or citing sources. Given the hot topic of some gamers as to what the actual "secret" of MI is, I think this edit should be left in to help the article remain unbiased as well as logically accurate.
The two sources I added are these:

replies: text: Not so. The Youtube source you have listed specifically states that the copy being played is the "White Label CD edition," not regular DOS (recall, before CDs, there were floppies). This source has me confused anyway, because the CD versions of the game boasted improvement musical accompaniment, and this sounds like it is using midis. It isn't even mentioned as a version one the World of Monkey Island page http://www.worldofmi.com/thegames/monkey2/index.php Killpurakat (talk) 08:00, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The CD versions of Monkey Island 2 don't have any enhancements, unlike Monkey Island 1. It's basically the floppy copypasted on a CD-ROM, except for the removal of copy protection and Lite mode. Here's another DOS version playthrough, and you can recognise it as the floppy version because of the copy protection and difficulty mode selection screen at the very beginning. Anyway, it currently seems that the line was removed in the Amiga version.--LaukkuTheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 09:59, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, maybe that was it; I was confusing it with MI1 (I recall getting my CD disks at the same time, along with MI3 as a special promotion; before that, I played them on my Amiga). Okay, thanks.Killpurakat (talk) 11:58, 26 December 2012 (UTC)
