![]() ![]() Got to chapter four, and I kept noticing a popup that said the game failed to save. I discovered that with the Amiga many years back. Madax91 Got a warning Posts: 3 Joined: Wed 1:57 am Missing Curse of Monkey Island Saves by Madax91 Wed 4:39 am Been playing Curse of Monkey Island. The markets are what they are and that's the way it is-our preferences will have little to do with it. It's just silly to flag-wave for an OS today, imo. There's a solution which I think you would enjoy-why not dual boot Windows for your gaming.? I ran dual boot systems for years-lots of trouble, keeping up with two or more OSes.but that sort of thing doesn't seem to bother you-and I enjoyed it for awhile myself. These latest builds of Win10圆4 are very nice, indeed-I'm running the soon-to-be-released rs4 Win10圆4, version 1803, build 17218. These days, I would rather use my boxes to run application software or else a game here and there.and like it or not you cannot do better in those departments than with Windows, imo. I think it's great if you're into your OS and enjoy tinkering and configuring-in the Amiga environment it was a lot of fun. Well, I've been building my own boxes for a couple of decades.and I long ago outgrew the "joy" of hunting and pecking for drivers.before that I enjoyed several years with an Amiga-and there is where I lost all interest in games either not being made for the Amiga at all, or else waiting a year or two on ports, that often never showed, etc. But there are two other platforms which are for everyone (else). I'm more than happy to invest work and thought in getting things to work. Linux is about taking control over your computer. That means that Linux won't evolve in one of those mainstream platforms, so I can stay on my happy island called Linux. It's not that difficult.Īlso: yes, Linux is not as good for gaming as Windows. ) It's just the way things are when it comes to the gaming markets. For *gaming*, Linux might be the *last* OS I'd want to use (for a number of good reasons.) This isn't a criticism of Linux, for goodness' sake. ) It's the sort of thing that happens regularly when using an OS with very limited *game* compatibility-and if anything, the various Linux distros are even less game-compatible than the Mac's OS X native game compatibility-which is light-years behind Windows in that regard. Speaking of MI games, The Secret of Monkey Island (the first one) is a classic, the second one is a classic as well, The Curse of Monkey Island (the third one) is also a classic (although a bit different, it's sillier and shorter but I've played it so many times I can speedrun it in 2 hours), Escape from Monkey Island (the fourth one) is underwhelming but has its moments, and Tales of Monkey Island (the Telltale series) is really, really fantastic.Waltc: Well, THEY didn't so YOU might have to. But that's what makes the game so fascinating. There's one part where you hit you fall off a tree and then you hallucinate your dead parents dancing to the "thigh bone" song. And I'm not even talking about the controversial ending. Regardless, the game is very meta and very bizarre at times. ![]() There's one classic sequence with a spitting contest that is so complicated I couldn't even tell you how to begin to solve it. So beware, these are the kinds of puzzles you have to deal with. However, you actually have to PICK UP the dog. In it, pirate Guybrush Threepwood searches for the. admittedly I am struggling with this one cause I can only find it in the new thing we downloaded. There's a dog in the game that is really good at smelling, so you have to give the dog the sock of LeChuck (since he last handled the map) and let the dog track the map piece. It was the sixth LucasArts game to use the SCUMM engine, and the first game to use the iMUSE sound system. There is a map piece in a pile of maps, and you can't find which one it is. There's another one that I thought was clever in retrospect but impossible when I was trying to figure it out. The puzzles are insanely difficult this time around, but what do you expect from an early LucasArts adventure game? One puzzle that still gets me riled to this day is one where you have to use Jojo the monkey as a "monkey wrench" to turn a valve. Most of the game is spent looking for map pieces, and each piece takes you on a long and convoluted journey to get there. The graphics are crisper, the backgrounds more lively, the characters richer, the humor sharper, and the game 5x more complicated. Revered as probably the best Monkey Island game, it's clear from the beginning why this is. I'll just provide my 2 cents on Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.
