Why is there a big empty white space to the right of the screen?

And...that looks painful. For her, not you.

Ah, the days where games were games, and the men were thickly pixeled. I liked the Maniac Mansion series more than the Monkey Island series.

Interactive cinematics.

 

Most newer games have agameplay style to them that mimics the cinema than games released in the past.

Isn't that a good definition for classic Lucasarts adventure games?

I view them more as puzzle adventures. Using today's technology and game engine they could be considered interactive cinematics. Hmmm... I think the gameplay of Monkey Island would be quite different if it used the Odyssey engine or the Obsidian's version of the Aurora's engine.

But the trouble is, if Monkey Island was released today, even with updated graphics, people would trash it. It's only about 6 hours long with a walk through, and in this internet age, too many folks are impatient. It's sad.

Wow...it's going to take me a while to become an expert city-builder again. Lots of mechanics changes. But I like the cloudy rainstorm days. This is just the 3rd tutorial mission.

It must be true. A computer game would never lie to me. Especially not in the dialogue with three headed monkey.

 

 

Is that like quadruple negative? :D

Those are from "The Secret of the Monkey Island". 16 years old adventure game. Works like a charm under scumm.

Two turns later those troops you can see are all dead, but 8 more have replaced them and my sniper is down to 20 health because he took 4 shots from two enemies who snuck up on me through the trees from the left where I couldn't see them. <_<
