Look, a three-headed monkey!

D.C. · 02-15-2007, 03:55 AM

That brings back good memories.

"How appropriate, you fight like a cow!"

A different part of the game, of course, but regardless I never miss an opportunity to use that phrase.

Risingson · 02-15-2007, 05:31 AM

What a horrible filter, let me say!

Havrepus · 02-15-2007, 07:07 AM

Ah! The good old days. The good old memories. More three-headed monkeys to the people! And some two-headed squirrels...

Yeah, that filter looks quite nasty.

I don't remember you could actually talk to the three-headed monkey. I thought it only appeared behind the cannibals.

Aside from the upscaling to 640x480 that appears to be the AdvMame2x filter. Which actually looks quite respectable IMO when not scaled up. It was in fact originated by LucasArts for the Mac ports of their adventure games.

God I love that game...

The three-headed monkeys only ever appeared when no-one else was there to see them.

A well-deserved classic. It makes me feel like cracking out my copy and playing it all over again (that involves ScummVM or DOSBOX with an XP machine doesn't it?)

*Melanie68* · 02-15-2007, 02:17 PM

Scumm! But the music files can be a bear. When I played, the music was inconsistent and it seemed like the fix was a pain in the butt so I just played without it.

Kolzig · 02-15-2007, 02:52 PM

My favourite adventure game.

Ahh, excellent music, excellent graphics, excellent dialogue.
Pure classic, they don't make games like this anymore.

Jobabob · 02-15-2007, 11:31 PM

my second favourite pirate monkey themed adventure game

BigHairyMan · 02-16-2007, 12:39 AM

Classic...though I must admit, I've forgotten most of the 2nd one.
