Umm, is the music consantly playing through the game? Because I get a clip ocassionally, but nothing more. I have DOSBOX and WindowsXP.

Please tell me if you need more info. Thanx!
I'm also experiencing the same thing. A new song will only play a for a minute and then it stops forever. I have the DOS box and XP as well. Is this normal? can anyone help us? I wanna hear the great song the synopsis was saying...

I think you selected the wrong soundcard in the setup program

Didn't really care much for it. The humor is way too self-referential and the interface (especially the inventory) annoying to use. It's impressive for an indie project, I guess, but overall not a very good game, in my opinion.

Also, if you're able to read german, do yourself a huge favor and switch to that language in the setup, because the english translation can get pretty bad, even confusing at times.

As this is freeware, I think they in the end did not have trouble for the obvious plagarism of Monkey Island.

What is really disturbing though, that there seem not to be a story, and the puzzles can be solved only by random chance (if at all), not because they are logical.

There is hardly any plagiarism involved with this game. While the interface is the same style the story is nothing like any of the Monkey Island games. Other games have taken the interface from Lucas Arts games and used it...though this does have to be the one that looks most like a Lucas Arts game.

The plagarism is in the jokes, not in the story what is certainly unique (but I miss a comprehensive storyline).

EDIT: Actually, the story is plagarism too. It is exactly like Monkey Island 2.

How could it be anything like Monkey Island 2...does it involve Pirates, searching for a map to Big Whoop a Zombie Pirate perhaps? Having similar elements to another story is not plagiarism all stories are based on similar elements stealing the exact same story directly is plagiarism.
