    lol, neither do I most the time. I'm full of so many questions that I don't have any questions to really ask others.:p

    Maybe, I need to come back to this one some time.

    MI2:SE, without a shadow of a doubt.

    Ohh, is this one of those things where you ask pervy questions about Elaine then hastily edit it to something innocent later on?

    Monkey Island 2 without doubt

    No it's one of those things were ego takes over a little, you get self absorbed, self centered and intellectually curious to the point where you are no longer coherent in intelligent conversation.

    I'll be happy to answer pervy questions about Elaine.

    LR(SE) is the second best adventure I've ever played! :D


    SOMI(SE) isn't the first... :p

    MI2SE (and don't pronounce that as My-two-sie in real life, you'll sound like you're talking about your ass) has such a perfect control scheme that going back to MI1SE (again, don't call it My-one-sie) retroactively makes the game worse. The controls feel really stiff and having no voices in classic mode suddenly seems strange.

    There are two reasons why I prefer LeChuck's Revenge SE:

    1. I liked the original LeChuck's Revenge more than I liked the original The Secret of Monkey Island.

    2. LCR:SE has much better controls. In SMI:SE the control scheme is awkward and I ended up using keyboard shortcuts instead of verb menu. In LCR:SE the controls work and I did use keyboard shortcuts only once or twice.

    Yeah, MI2SE is much better built and designed. I feel like SOMISE was more like a big rehearsal of how to make this remakes.

    Just out of curiosity, what did the OP say originally?

    MI2SE mainly cause it allows you to play with classic graphics and still get voices. I still don't understand why you couldn't do that in MI1SE. (Yes I tried using that patch, and it works but now I don't get any music.) Why could telltale just had that option to begin with?

    or lucasarts. Either one or the other.

    Certainly not Telltale, they had nothing to do with the special editions of MI1 and 2.
  • edited August 2010
    oops. Thought they did.

    Well everything TTG touches is gold, and the lucas arts logo has tarnished ugly...

    Wait, there's a patch to get the voices work in the classic version of SOMI:SE??

    Yeah. It's at Lucasforums. You need to have an installed copy of SOMI;SE
    and then patch the audio folder (I think). It creates a separate game you can run with the voices. You may need to have SCUMMVM. It works fine for me except I can't get any music.

    That is AWESOME! I don't even have any music problems! My only gripe is that the narrator's voice is missing.
    EDIT: I am downloading the latest version that fixes that problem
    EDIT: It looks like Version 8 is the one that's missing music (and should've had the narrator's voice), I'm going back to version 7.

    Tales = Curse > Revenge:SE (SE mode only) > Secret:SE (w/ LordTrilobite fixes) = Secret > Revenge > Escape


    This is to say:
    1) Revenge:SE's classic mode's music sucks
    2) Secret:SE's official release is graphically unfinished.
    ...and I refuse to quantify them as I refuse to play them.

    That is awesome. Unfortunately, I don't get it to work. :( Scumm VM crashes whenever I try to launch it (wrong paths?!) and when I try to start it from CMD, it crashes when the first line of voice is to come. :(
    What do I do wrong?!

    'LeChuck's Revenge: Special Edition'. Pretty-much everything was done as well as it possibly could have been. They managed to update everything without disappointing too many of the nostalgic MI fans - something that the first Special Edition was unable to do.

    Well I tinkered around with the missing music again and all i had to do was copy the music from cd music or se music into the games' exe directory. Good to know. Nice someone took the time to do this.
