Thought this might have been an April Fool’s joke. Tales of Monkey Island was fun but a bit flawed. Interested to see how this new one turns out.

Exciting! We loved Curse of Monkey Island, which I think is the 3rd one. The first one was too hard (couldn’t get past the first set piece) and we didn’t really click with the 4th one (which I think was 3D-ish?), so this looks like it could be a true return to form! Hey, it worked for Obduction.

I grew up playing Secret, Revenge and Curse with my mum, but she really struggled with the switch to 3D for the 4th one. Both from a manoeuvring and game performance point of view. Hoping they return to 2D so she’ll be able to play it.

I am excite! I really liked Curse. Secret and Revenge were pretty good. Didn’t care for the 4th one, Escape. I think I finished Tales, the episodic Steam release. But that was years ago, and probably worth revisiting. Surprisingly, it appears my Steam library only contains Secret and Tales.

I loved Monkey Island 1+2 on the Amiga in the 90s. (2 had ELEVEN floppy disks).
He did it. The crazy so-and-so actually did it:

Shouldn’t that be Maniac Mansion? When the creator of the game gets the name wrong, just how much does he really care about it?

I’ve not played either of the remasters, might have to pick those up at some point.

Interesting, it seems that the creator of the first two games and this new one didn’t have anything to do with Curse, which I thought was the one that really hit.
