One of my favorite games when I was a kid was the Monkey Island series. I’m not gonna bother trying to explain what Monkey Island is but I will say that this game was made back in the days when games required thought and out of the box thinking to complete. Lucas arts (the makers of Monkey Island) went back and remastered the original Monkey Island and created The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition. As you can see from the image above they made everything look prettier, they added voices for everybody and they enhanced the music/ambient sounds. The really cool thing is that you can hit F10 and toggle between the old version and the new version…that’s how I got the nifty screen caps =) As you can see just from the title screen caps above they really have made everything look better and even changed the color scheme a bit with the title.
Here you see part of the Scumm bar and the docks….notice that the moon and background have much more detail. Also note that the inventory is no longer a part of the screen and you have to hit “i” to bring it up in the Special Edition version. All in all I LOVE the new version and I hope that they make Monkey Island 2: LeChucks Revenge.
