The Curse of Monkey Island

[mikeymike]

Have you got all the stuff out of the room before the stage (the props room)?  IIRC there's a few items you need to pick up in there.  You also need to find out how to mess with the lighting system (up the stairs in the props room) IIRC.

I can't really remember curse of monkey island, it wasn't that good IMO.  You'll have to try and jog my memory (or just read a walkthrough off the net).

What chicken fat on what cannonballs? :-?

The only place I can think of to get chicken fat is at the restaurant that sells mouldy chicken, but you get something else from there anyway.

Actually, the only joke/puzzle out of CoMI that was really class is getting the map off the guy on the beach.  I wet myself laughing at that, that was true Monkey Island class humour :-)

[mikeymike]

I can't think of any either.  Try another walkthrough?

[mikeymike]

IIRC, there are three 'challenges' (a bit like in Monkey Isl. 1), the kaber toss, getting the map, and the banjo playing.  the banjo is easy enough and requires nothing except a good memory, but the kaber toss requires gunpowder.

Time to get Escape from mokey island now.

Tell me whether it's any good when you've completed it :-)

[mikeymike]

The banjo did not require gunpowder!  You've got something against banjos haven't you? :-)

The banjo is easy, you just point at the banjo when he says choose your weapon.

The kaber toss requires rubber and gunpowder.  gunpowder on the rubber tree.

[mikeymike]

don't forget the bit that requires you to make up a sniper rifle out of the remains of the banjo man.

[mikeymike]

how much could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

[mikeymike]

But that's what the gunpowder was for, making a trail from keg to tree.

[mikeymike]

I could just go on rambling, pretending I know what I'm talking about, but I don't remember it that well :-)

I think the best thing to do would be to sit down and replay it.

Except it really wasn't that good.  :-(

I miss the rubber chicken with the pulley in the middle, the monkey wrench and 'pull librarian' :-)
