it was not the best adventure lucasarts ever made
I think it is...
the humor in the other lucasarts games got predictable after some time. [/b][/quote]
Nope...i still think Monkey Island 1 was the best adventure ever made by Lucasarts..such a long and quality game with great humor in it..

Specially for that time it was totally new (with the 2 different ends in the game) and it`s definatly the best MI ever made...part 2 was also good but when i played part 3 i missed the magical touch from the old games and part 4 was just not that good as i expected...

The more i think about the MI serie the more dissapointing part 4 was for me, hopefully part 5 (if there ever will come a new one) will give me that same feeling as i had with part 1 and 2..

*Part 4: Frustrating part when you walk with your parfum in the house of that old man, where you could spray at all kind of animals...totally no sense of humor and it was also not useful.... :angry: :angry:

Monkey Island had two endings?

Space Quest is a very good game
but it annoyed me.
At one point in the game you open a locker or something
there is a machine in there (or an object)
How was I supposed to know what the object is called?!
I tried everything with the commandlines

>look
look at what?
>look at object
look at what object?
>look at object in locker
Can't find 'object'

and so on and so on.
Did I miss something, some piece of information on this 'object'?
or was it just impossible to pick up without following a walkthrough
surely it can't be that.
Hehe, I think that was called a gadget or gizmo or something along those lines. I remember having huge difficulty with that part too. I think that was in the first game.

As for Monkey Island. I think the second one was the coolest because of all the strange stuff. Especially the awesomly weird bone dance that caught you by surprise. Then there is the ending, that has been surrounded in mystery concerning its meaning. It's a pity Ron Gilbert didn't get to make MI3, or we wouldv'e understood what it was all about. MI3 was still an awesome game tho.

I didn't like the second one all that much because the ending was just downright weird.
As the credits rolled by I was left wondering: 'what the... what the hell!?'

I forgot to mention "Innocent until caught" and "Guilty" from "Divide by zero". They have a real cool setting. Although it had some too complicated puzzles, like that one at the beginning, where you had to steal a piece of paper from the man in the bar, but they had a real cool story.

Another problem were the 15 disks in my amiga version. Every amiga user knows what I'm talking about.

Yes, Monkey Island 1 had 2 endings...and then i dont mean the credits..

When you are playing with ya catapult you must hit something (cant remember what to hit) but you can also aim other ways...

At this point you can decide to hit your own Boat, or just to leave it there...when you hit your own boat you can`t get off island anymore but when the game ended the old man will come with a new boat for ya...

Now you will see what will happen to the other players on island :P :P

I can`t remember it not all perfect for the moment but it was very funny in the old days, i always hit my own ship just to see the other "funny" ending :P

actually according to Monkey island 4 the ending where you destroy the ship IS the real ending.

Otis and Carla constantly remind you how you left them stranded on the island
and there are serveral references to Herman's boat.

I think Guybrush says something like: "you don't happen to have another boat around, do you?"
something along those lines anyway
