Innerestin' thar, Thagarr! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> Kinda Monkey Islandish, ye think?! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

It is a bit Fred Bob, I didn't have time to play it much after I found it though...but it looked fairly annoying <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

I was having problems playing this in the default flash window using both Firefox and IE, not exactly sure why, but it didn't display the entire scene and part of the menu was missing. You can download it from the main site and install it on your computer. It will then play full screen and you will be able to see the whole picture and the complete menu. Much easier playing it that way!

Fred Bob done downloaded it an' gave it try! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Purty annoyin' indeed! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />

Ended up cheating an' a follerin' de Walkthrough! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Dare ye tew escape de room widout de Walkthrough, Thagarr! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Makes ol' Fred Bob wanna dust off his ol' copies o' Monkey Island! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

I had to use the walkthrough as well, I'm not used to having to think that much! I tried it a couple of times without reading the walkthrough ...only got punched in the face about 6 times! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

It really is a neat little game, I can't wait to play the next chapters! I really miss these kind of games. Don't get me wrong, I love blowing stuff up, but it's good to excersize a little grey matter on occasion too!

Harr! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> Fred Bob done re-installed all four Monkey Island games yesterday! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" />
First two require an emulator (ScummVM) tew run right on XP. Second two, a feller created new installers and launchers dat, although not required, hep make thangs easier on XP or Vista as well. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> Played de first chapter o' Curse of Monkey Island last night, which required a similar solution as seen in yer Tortuga flash game! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

The Monkey Island series was sure a lot of fun, I played the first 3 and loved the hell out of em! Then I got distracted with Age of Empires and Sea Dogs! Thanks for the info about the emulator and installers, I haven't played em since Win 98. I am thinking of using my old computer to set up a MAME box running 95 or 98, I may just leave some of my old favorite PC games on it as well. If I can remember how to do all that old DOS setup stuff! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Or you can play it online, also at the main site:

This one displays correctly, unlike the copy at gamepro.com.
