Ok, I'm stuck. I have got to the point where I can see the cross on the stage, but I can't get on to the stage because the thesbian is on there.
-
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).
-
Ok, Once I got to this point I was totally stumped, so I had a look at the walkthrough on "Scummbar.com" and As far as I can see I've done everything right...
I just need to put the Chicken fat on the cannonballs... but I can't find any cannonballs :-(
-
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 :-)

Yeah, that is funny :)
I have the chicken fat (you get that from LeChimps ship)... but I just can't find any balls to greece up.
-
I can't think of any either. Try another walkthrough?
-
Wasn't these cannonballs in the travel case backstage?
oh, btw Murray, the evil demonic skull was my all time fav game character.
-
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.

Yeah, It seems that I had to do the button pushing thing twice before it worked... odd... anyway, I completed it, and it was jolly good fun. Not as hard as Monkey Island 2
Time to get Escape from mokey island now.

Tell me whether it's any good when you've completed it :-)
-
hm, Monkey Island 4 (I thought that was escape from Monkey Island wasn't it?) is gathering dust somewhere in my attic after I moved. :-( The game wasn't as good as it's three predecessors.
ah, anyway bloodline :pint:

Nope, the banjo required gunpowder.
The kaber toss required rubber.
-
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.
-
ssssshhh
I wasn't telling either that you need to choose the gun when the banjo guy freaks out? Now it's easy for him.
-
don't forget the bit that requires you to make up a sniper rifle out of the remains of the banjo man.
-
:lol: don't remember that part, blasted Korsakov.
-
how much could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
-
would chuck chuck wood.............. eh
Bah, I need to play Monkey Island 2 again.
And Monkey Island 1 too.

Talking of ancient games, are you the same Matt Parsons who submitted all those reviews of outrun versions like the MSX ones on the outrun retrospective sit?

Wasn't a keg of rum/grog up there that you have to turn into a bomb of some sort?

MI4 is the worst of the series so far. they got rid of the mouse point and click interface and made it where you control Guybrush with your arrow keys. Not that it is bad or anything but I kept getting him stuck.
-
But that's what the gunpowder was for, making a trail from keg to tree.

It's been awhile since I have played this but I thought you had to use the knife on the leg of the support of the keg and when it fell it left a trail of rum/grog as it rested next to the rubber tree. I may be wrong though. :-?
-
I could just go on rambling, pretending I know what I'm talking about, but I don't remember it that well :-)
-
Fair Enough. :-)
I think the best thing to do would be to sit down and replay it.
-
Wat was it again with that biscuit cutter?
-edit- AH! you had to saw the fundament under the keg o' rum and then it rolled and left a trail o' rum

Use the Biscuit cutter on the Rubber tree and make a plug for the boat.

Yes, it was the knife where the Grim Fandango figure (what's his name again) was stabbed with in the chicken restaurant.
The last of the excellent LucasArts adventures :-( :-)

I think lucasarts has lost their magical touch. It seems alot of their games are not that good anymore.
My God have you seen the amount of Star Wars games coming out! Jeez. :-o

Ok, I completed Escape from Monkey Island on Saturday. it sucks.
The Control interface is fine for a console gamer, but is clunky and akward for an RPG junkie.
The graphics are quite good. The sound and music is well done.
The story is bearable, though lacks the humour of the first three, and the puzzles are well thought out.
There are certain "Tasks" (The diving competition, Monkey Kombat) that are just plain boring... though I did enjoy the Mists of Thyme Swamp, that was fun.
Monkey Kombat was the most pointless, stupid and frankly sorry excuse for a "puzzle" in the history of computer games ever. I had to resort to building a "movement" table and a dominant move tree to complete it.
The Ending was a let down... Someone please get Ron Gilbert back on board again...

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

The Rubber chicken with a pully in the middle makes a welcome return in MI4, in the Mists of Thyme Swamp. As I said that was actually quite fun that bit.

How can anyone forget the brilliance of the first monkey island, where lucas arts was lucas arts, ok there was loom b4 that, but the original monkey island stands to this day as their defining moment, although it took me the best part of a decade to find it again after completing it on my original amiga 500, to this day an age when im asked to insert disk number 4 or summit it brings a small tear to my eye, :bigcry: ah the good old days, anyone get the bounty pack that was released for the pc with all the 1st 3 games on it?
