So, I was recently replaying the original (And still the best) Monkey Island, and just now finished it. When the end credits were playing, I noticed something I had missed before. Which prompted a "ZOMG THATS THE ENDERS GAME GUY!".
Just so Mr. Card knows, even if he lives hundreds of years, he will never, ever, write anything better than those Swordfighting insults. Ever.

Monkey Island is a great game [Big Grin]

I love all of them but I hope they bring back insult sword fighting in the next one.

I was also a big fan of LOOM, while almost unknown to most gamers of my generation, I'm sure a bunch of jatrqueros remember it fondly....

Yea, the insult swordfighting was one of the best parts in both the first and third monkey island. Monkey Combat in the fourth was absolutely terrible. It was a alright game up to that point, although not nearly as good as the earlier games in the series.

Monkey Kombat wasn't great but its was ok. I would rather them go back to the old way it looked and keep the feel then make it look good.

My favorite insults were the rhyming ones from CMI. All of 'em are great games, though.

"Next one." BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That was good, tell me another.

"Full Throttle 2." BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I loved Full Throttle. It might be the most satisfying single-player game I've ever played.

I lost my Dig disk about 2/3 of the way through. That might have beaten it. But I'll never know now. [Smile]

Posted by Puppy (Member # 6721) on :

I played a Beta version of The Dig that had a game-ruining bug about 2/3 through [Smile]

So I never finished it either.

"I'll hound you night and day!"

"Then be a good dog sit, stay."

If its a good game I hate not finshing it.
