Talk:The Secret of Monkey Island

message: I know this is old, but wouldn't a small note where an Argentina news channel mistaking the ingredients of Grog found in The secret of Monkey Island be worth a mention on this article?  I understand the Grog article mentions it, but since the recipe is obviously lifted from this game, I think it should be mentioned.
 
I added it to this article with references, but was edited out.  Because there is no mentioning of it on the talk page, I believe
there's no reason ot remove it.

replies: text: I provided a reason in the edit summary. The problem is, YouTube isn't a reliable source. Also, you made a trivia section only for that small piecce of information. If you find a reliable source, then you can add it in an aproppriate location in the article.--LaukkuTheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 15:38, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Requesting more info about the release. Was it bundled with Monkey Island 2? That is the impression I'm getting from the two articles. Ham Pastrami (talk) 14:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally I own the Monkey Island 1 and 2 double pack. That's both games on a single CD. There is the Kixx XL release of Monkey Island which is just The Secret of Monkey Island on a single disc. I also believe there is a Lucasarts only release but that is pretty rare. (it's usually expensive on ebay). I've never been able to track down a complete source of information on all the release types though. Bill (talk|contribs) 16:28, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The CD-ROM version was released in 1992 and contained a simple copy protection that required the disc to be inserted in order to play. It was released in two versions, one contained the Manual, Disc and Disc case (the "quick start" guide is incorporated into the manual) and the other contained a "bix box" also. I believe the "no box" version was often bundled with other software/hardware. It was also released by KIXX, and later (1996 I believe) "Monkey Island Madness" was released containing Monkey 2 as well, with both games playable off the disc. It featured the removal of the copy protection, both games could be copied to the Hard Disk and played without the original Game Disc. --61.69.0.21 (talk) 14:07, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  CD-ROM version 

message: From a recent edit:
If the player tells Guybrush to look into the hole, the screen will briefly display a screenshot of the catacombs from another Lucasarts game, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Is this actually true? I checked on the version I had available (VGA floppy) - but the screen remained in the forest and just the "insert disk" messages appeared.  Maybe the CD-ROM version differs? If not, then it's probably been made up and should be removed. (If it is true though, I would be interested to know which bit of the catacombs is shown.)

replies: text: I've never found that while playing the game, nor have I ever heard that. I've used a tool that extracts all the backgrounds from the game and I've never seen an Indianna Jones image in it. I don't think it's true. Bill (talk|contribs) 00:02, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Out it goes.  If anyone has any proof to the contrary, they can add it back in. CountingPine (talk) 14:22, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stump joke 

message: The article mentions that this is Steven Spielberg's and Elijah Wood's favorite game. I've seen Wood mention it in some interview, but does anyone have a source for Spielberg? 213.126.132.70 (talk) 16:16, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spielberg 

message: What's with that section? It says "The first game in the series also features a joke related to a sinister alley between two houses on Melee Island. In the game, someone calls for Guybrush with a "psst" when he gets near the alley, only to discover that there was no one in the first place. According to the plot, the hissing was being done by LeChuck to drive Guybrush off of Melee Island.", but when you go there you'll get a scene where you have to talk to Fester Shinetop.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.192.172.68 (talk) 15:47, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Some new dev information 

message: Two things wrong in the article. Special edition section claims Spiffy was removed from original. However, he is on the CD version of which Special Edition is a remake. It is also stated the CD Version features superior music. This is incorrect, as all music was removed from the CD version.--86.87.28.191 (talk) 20:22, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The close-ups of Spiffy were removed, not the character entirely.  Regarding the music, I own the CD version and its music is different from the Amiga version's. —LOL T/C 01:40, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I think the Special Edition should have its own article, but I dunno. What does everyone else think? Smurfy 12:12, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really. If there was a lot of dev information about the original game as to make the SE part make this article run long, then yes. But really, there's very little (due to age) and thus this article works with the SE stuff added to it. In general ports and remakes do not get new articles. --MASEM (t) 12:26, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Is there any info on what engine the Special Edition is using? Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 12:48, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In one of the preview videos there's some info on that. They've sort of layered the new game over the top of the original version, using the existing engine. Or something like that. --Bill (talk|contribs) 17:16, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Seeing that the SE (Special Edition) has a separate infobox (although hidden), I decided to remove SE-related info from the other infobox. The information does not need to be said twice. LaukkuTheGreit (talk) 22:31, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

message: No news stories yet (only announced by LA's twitter), but SE's coming to Mac and PSN.  (There's also going to be a MI2: SE, again, only announced via twitter.) --MASEM (t) 02:51, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  SE coming to Mac and PSN 

message: As one of the developers of the SE edition, I'm honored to have our project discussed on the main MI page. However I feel that the designer credits in the info box are not representative of actual contribution to the project. Adam is really the main guy here - he processed all of the dialog for the voice recording, designed the hints, etc. Craig is responsible for most of the remaining design. I don't want to take away from Joe's and Dom's contribution - but they were only helping out part time.
Another major omission is the sound and art direction (especially given the nature of this project). Dave Collins did absolutely fantastic job with directing the voice recording. The art direction was by Jeff Sangalli - he defined the SE art style and worked super hard to maintain consistency and quality throughout the game (this was particularly challenging due to outsourcing of much of the animation to LucasArts Singapore).
Finally, is there any space for us engineers?
