I'm gonna print that out and learn to play it. It's gonna be awesome. I love that theme Smile
It's gonna be challenging though, I'm quite rusty piano-wise :/

TBH that theme does not fit in some piano cover.

The original is still the best the golden age of Lucasarts adventures:

Amen to that.
I just liked the piano version because I would be able to play it later.
I don't play the fife. But this sounds GREAT! Very Happy

Oooow that's CUTE! He must have been delighted to receive such a lovely letter Smile

@Ixi
Yeah, me too Very Happy

I saw they revamped MI I & II with "modern" graphics (ala MI 4 it seems). Is it any good?

Yeah seems like it touched him, it's posted on his personal blog ( http://grumpygamer.com/monkey25 ) Smile

Oh, those Special Editions are just graphical revamps with new artstyle, voice-overs and "remastered" music ( so to speak ), the game remains exactly the same otherwise. You can switch between the new graphics or the old-school ones by pressing a key:


The only feature you're losing out in the process is that the old-school mode doesn't feature the dynamical music system iMUSE which was introduced with Monkey Island 2.
The voice-overs didn't overly convince me but I can't really fault them either, it's probably because I was doing everyone's voices in my head when I first played them - and nothing can beat that ! Razz
Oh yeah, you can also play with the gamepad, but I doubt that's what you're looking for.

Overall, they still did a very good job with those Special Editions - could have been much worse considering present-day "Remasters" Very Happy

Go play them all again ! Razz

Haha nice, yup I will! *puts Monkey Island 1&2 Remastered in the backlog sack, along with 3...and all the other LucasArts adventures* Very Happy

I'm actually already in the middle of a slow but steady re-visiting of these classic in their recent remastered form, started some time ago with replaying Grim Fandango, then moved on to Day of the Tentacle and currently re-doing Full Throttle. The modernizations and vectorized art-style are pretty good and faithful all things considered, and the high quality audio is a plus as well.

Still nowhere near the charm of the mighty pixels, but it's possible to activate the classic look from the options so it's all good. Razz
