MI Can`t Buy you Love!

That Secret LEC game Remember in the news from 18th March it mentioned about the MI3 team working on a 'Secret' game? Well, Coolio emailed me some info taken from the latest issue of 'PC Gamer UK'. Next Month they will have: "An enormous preview of the worlds most secret game* *clue:it's from Lucasarts" Is this more evidence of a new adventure game from LEC? It can`t be a Star Wars game as they have already advertised the Star Wars previews. I await the next issue for more news! Monkey Island Can`t Buy you Love! Also in the recent issue of 'PC Gamer UK' I found something that may interest male Monkey Island Fans... basicly, don't use any MI Lines to try and impress the opposite sex! Follow the 'MORE' link, *WARNING* Humour involved. LEC ruling Adventure games! In the latest issue of PC Format (can`t you tell I`ve been out buying computer mags this week!) voted Grim Fandango as best adventure, followed by CMI. SCUMM Revisitied 2.0.8 Version 2.0.8 of SCUMM Revisited has been released! New Music site! A new site from the creator of LucasFans has been opened, called Computer Game Music Monthly it is a must for anyone interested in Game Music! Other New Sites: Pedros Monkey Island Homepage Monkey World Murray's Monkey Island Chaos Askalaron: Egarthen's Revenge Monkey Island Lookout Trav's Monkey Island Page Lucas Fiction Monkey Island Supreme LucasArts Top25

Guybrush as a TIE Pilot!

XWA Credits Dominic Armato (The Voice of Guybrush) had told us on IRC that he had recorded some voices for X-Wing Alliance, and recently Fuurgh emailed me saying that, according to the XWA Demo Credits, Dom does the voice of a TIE intercepter pilot. While looking at the credits I noticed a number of other CMI actors who also lend their voices to XWA. For the list, click the 'MORE' link. SCUMM Revisitied 2.0.7 Version 2.0.7 of SCUMM Revisited has been released. Just in case you have been stranded on island without any pants for the last 20 years... SCUMM Revisited is a program capable of ripping Music, graphics, sounds etc from virtually all the LucasArts adventure games.

A little error correction

That translation error A few people have pointed out a little error in the translation from the German article (see below). Thanks to Serge and LGH for pointing the error out. It never actually said: "The monkey island 3 team is working on a yet secret next Monkey Island game" What it actually said was this: "The monkey island 3 team is working on a yet secret sequel." This makes all the differance and we can see it meaning one of three things... Monkey Island 4 A Monkey Island Sequel but not MI4 (interesting thought) The MI3 team are working on a Sequel game to something else (DOTT2? The DIG2? Grim2? Full Throttle2? Sam n Max2? Who knows?! Well, probably not Sam n Max2 as LEC no longer have the rights unfortunatly)

And so it begins...

Possible Monkey Island 4 sighting... Ok, keep calm... no one panic! Florian of the Monkey Island Fan Isle sent me a page scanned from the German magazine 'PC Games'. Thanks to Smily from #wing-commander who has translated what it says. Remember, this could be just rumour... there is no proof that work has begun on a Monkey Island 4, for all we know it could all be guess work. Still, if it is true.. I`d be happy :-) Here is what it had to say: "They are really busy in the software department: Xwing Alliance and indiana Jones will be finished in a few months and the monkey island 3 team is working on a yet secret next Monkey Island game and LucasLearning is working on the children`s title DroidWorks. Only Tim "Grim Fandango" Shafer is on holidays. Now there`s only the question what happened with the real time strategie game Force Commander... which release date was pushed back often. This title is not dead however, its story only collided with the story of The Phantom Menace, so the designers had to change it." More Ripped Sounds MrMutton has, using SCUMM Revisited, ripped some more sounds from CMI, get them here! Wallpapers I`ve added three new Wallpapers to the Windows Section of the Downloads.

Re-Visit this...

Want to Rip files from LEC games? SCUMM Revisited is the answer! It allows you to rip almost anything from all the LucasArts adventure games that use the SCUMM game engine. I`m sure most fans are interested in this, so it's well worth a look! Tim Schafer Interview While looking through some old computer magazines, I came accross a Interview with Tim Schafer I had missed. It's from the August '98 issue of Ultimate PC and mentions Monkey Island a few times, but it is mainly about Grim Fandango. Check out the Interview here. Star Wars 3D Adventure game Not Monkey Island related but what the heck :-) I saw this over at SCUMM, it appears there will be a Star Wars Adventure game (in 3D) due sometime in 1999 to coinside with Star Wars Ep1. Snugglecake was right ;-) Go here for the source. Also, I apologise... but the MP3s are still offline.

Problem? Then please e-mail Skyfox.
