Talk:Escape from Monkey Island

message: I haven't played the game in a while, but I remember when surveying the monkey head on Monkey Island, he states that it is the second biggest monkey head he's seen. If this is true, then that should be some sort of reference to Get Smart, right?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by MaximillianRiese (talk • contribs) 03:43, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Get Smart?

message: Can't remember the name of the second island but I have broken out of the bank, been arrested and now need to prove my innocence but don't know how.  Tried getting the guy in the artificial limbs shop to smell the hankerchief but he can't cos he has a cold.
Would be gratful for a bit of advice.

thread_title:  Stuck on the Second Island 

message: This is probably a stupid question but I haven't heard any mention of a fifth Monkey Island game. Is Lucasarts even working on one? What about all that talk about a "five game contract with Lucasarts" in EMI?
:There is much speculation about this, but nothing has been confirmed. Please see this paragraph from the main MI article and its associated links for more information. Kris 07:23, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

message: When I'm at the Giant Monkey Head, there is a Q-Tip that you can spot and Guybrush keeps making the point "Oh Yer". I'm assuming that this is a reference to a previous game so should it be put in (if someone knows what game it is)?Wild ste 16:12, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Reference to other games

message: The New York Times ran an article on EfMI; it seems like a good source of citations: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F02E3DE133CF934A35751C1A9669C8B63 — Alan De Smet | Talk 04:26, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Useful citations 

message: When sailing to Jambalaya Island (on the PS2 version, which is what I've got), Carla says "Loose the Kraken!" in the middle of a bunch of other familiar-sounding movie quotes... but this came out before PotC was released. Are they both referring to some earlier movie quote? Or is the Pirates quote a throwback? But then, the others say movie quotes... Kuronue | Talk 13:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Loose the Kraken 

message: I removed the let alone another MI game part here  since it didn't make sense. Since Monkey Island was the most successful of their adventure game franchies, it seems if they were going to release a new adventure game the most likely may be Monkey Island. While (unfortunately I guess) I doubt they will, the let alone part still doesn't make sense Nil Einne 16:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Escape from monkey island mac cover.jpg

message: In my opinion Elaine Marley#Inconsistency and the latter part of Herman Toothrot should be merged in a new section in Escape from Monkey Island entitled Inconsistency, either in the plot or reception sections. The game is pretty famous for its plot holes. Additionally, this would save valuable info as the articles are in danger of being deleted. LaukkuTheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 16:14, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem there is that all the information you point to is entirely original research. It should just be gotten rid of, not dumped here (this article has enough problems already), unless it can be properly referenced with secondary sources commenting on these inconsistencies. -- Sabre (talk) 16:21, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  point & click 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Escape from Monkey Island's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "gamespot review":
From Full Throttle (1995 video game): 
From The Curse of Monkey Island:

From Grim Fandango: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 16:59, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
