Monkey Island: The Flash Movie

[mayhap]

If you've ever played the classic Monkey Island games, then you will readily apprehend that this is the best thing ever.

It's an exuberant animated recap of the first game, sketched in the style of the third, cheerfully voiced by a fellow with a German accent (on account of he is German, and there is also a deutsche Version for those of you who are into that sort of thing). Those of you who haven't played the Monkey Island games (and why on earth not???) should bear in mind that it also serves as a thumbnail walkthrough to most of the puzzles in the first game.

That is extremely awesome! I'm a big fan of the non-Star Wars-related Lucasfilm games, even have Maniac Mansion 2: Day of the Tentacle on my compy (funniest game ever)!

I'm also really into the Deutsch thing as well (have the German language version of Startrek: Starfleet Academy on my compy also), aber ich bin nicht ein Berliner ;)

Ooooh, did you ever play Loom? ("Ask me about Loom™!) And I regret that I have not yet gotten my hands on The Dig.

OH MY GOD THAT IS SO AWESOME. :O

[mayhap]

IT IS LIKE THE BEST THING EVER.

NO I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT IS YOUR ICON!

I love MI so much. It makes me so sad when anyone responds to "That's the second biggest (x) I've ever seen!" with "What's the first?".

[mayhap]

It is tragic that more people are not familiar with the joys of Monkey Island. Luckily these days it's relatively easy to set them up with at least the first two games and the ScummVM, assuming you can get them to obey your orders to play it immediately.

My friend introduced me to it when I was about nine, as her dad was a geek who gave it to her. Later I discovered realised what a huge favour she'd done me. Another friend gave me copies of the first two and last one for my birthday two years ago. *sigh* Sometimes at night I can still hear the monkeys.

AND YOUR ICONS ARE SO COOL!

[mayhap]

I have one more! Maybe I should just fill the rest of my icon slots with MI.

You know it makes sense. :)

I rather like in Monkey Island 2 when you can choose to 'pull' the skeleton in the cell next to you and Guybrush says "He's really not my type.". It is FTW.
