The Curse of Monkey Island

[bloodline]

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.

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.

Wasn't these cannonballs in the travel case backstage?

oh, btw Murray, the evil demonic skull was my all time fav game character.

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.

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.

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

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.
