In the Fall of 1992, the CD-ROM version was ported to the FM Towns. In June 1992, a CD-ROM version of the game was released (including a Sega CD version), featuring vastly improved music as well as graphical verb and inventory icons (as seen in Monkey Island 2).

Several months later, the PC version was re-released with VGA graphics the Amiga version, released shortly after this, used the PC EGA version's 16-color character graphics along with the PC VGA version's room backgrounds (reduced to 16 unique colors per room). The game was originally released on floppy disk in 1990 for Atari ST, Macintosh and IBM PC systems (using EGA graphics) it was also the first adventure game to use character scaling. At first, the game follows Guybrush's attempts to prove himself a pirate later, he attempts to rescue his new-found love, Elaine Marley, from the clutches of the ghost pirate LeChuck. The first installment in the series, The Secret of Monkey Island ( SMI), was the fifth game to use the SCUMM engine. The games' soundtracks are filled with faux- reggae music Elaine Marley's name is also an obvious reference to Bob Marley. The time period in which they take place is deliberately vague: although the islands teem with pirates (dressed in outfits that seem to come from movies and comic books rather than history), there are many deliberate anachronisms and references to modern-day popular culture. This approach was somewhat revolutionary at the time of the first game's release prominent adventure-game rivals were Sierra On-Line and Infocom, both of whose games were infamous for sudden and frequent character deaths or 'lock-out' situations.Įach of the games takes place on fictional islands in the Caribbean. The player cannot permanently place the game in an unwinnable state or cause Guybrush to die 1 (these traits are shared by other humor-oriented LucasArts adventure games such as Sam and Max Hit the Road and Day of the Tentacle, but not by 'serious' games such as the Indiana Jones adventures).

What really annoys me in the floppy version is, that you cant skip the dialog with the period key.in MI2 it works or is it another key? On the other hand in TSOMI you can scroll through your inventory and select items via the number keys 1-6 which is not possible in MI2 so weird.The Monkey Island series is known for its humor and 'player-friendly' qualities.

like mentioned above, how to blow up the damn or howto talk down Stan and so on. We (or Me) can create a Topic with the different solutions to figure out which one iis the fastest. In correlation to your post about the sowrd fight insults (onyl knew one Multi-Insult, great stuff btw).

Yeah some puzzles can solved in different ways (I always used the sun to blow up the damn, because this solution blow my mind as a kid.so cool^^) - did not realize you can save an extra line of dialog. I will test this glitsch again anytime soon, thx for some more details on this. The difference between the strats may be almost unnoticeable. I tried it out and I found if you put the gunpowder on the dam when you ENTER the scene for the first time then it's ready for you on the way back so you can use the sun on the lens (but only works when used in the correct position, otherwise Guybrush just burns the scenery. It could be faster since you avoid a line of dialogue you have to read when you pick up the rock. You can indeed use the lens in the spyglass to blow up the dam instead. We all just use the cd-rom version by default.

I have no idea about running the floppy version. After 150+ runs I'm 99% sure I can tell if I don't have the glitch as soon as Guybrush walks past the poster.

Of course also the more you run the game you will become more used to how fast the game is, so if you didn't have the glitch you would be able to tell fairly quickly. The longer you go into a run without this glitch compared to having it the more obvious it becomes that you lose time. You can tell the difference for sure the longer you play.
