So I decided if we have Monkey Island Special Edition DVD then what about the other 2 games? Why can't we have a DVD with those games? Since LucasArts is no more, I decided to create my own. So I took Bgbennyboy's installers, edited them a bit, and decided to burn the beauty on a DVD. It was still OK at that point. But then I got too carried away and created a poster and an autorun! So with this stuff already done, I wonder if any of you would be interesting to have the same (providing Bgbennyboy doesn't mind, of course)?

P.S. The original posters are taken from this (http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=195492) thread.

The first two were the best, the third I accept is canny enough (despite Guybrush looking like a git), the fourth I refuse to admit exists and the last one all seems way too modern for me....so it's a grumpy old bastard no from me! :)

The fourth? Which one's the fourth?

Escape, of course.

Personally, I don't really care about Curse, Escape and Tales. In my mind, they don't count. It's Ron's story, he should be the one to make MI3.

Escape

Oh, the fourth game! Dammit, I thought he was talking about... oh, well, never mind.

Yes, I admit, since The Curse, the games took, well, a bit different turn. BUT! I'm the kind of a person who tends to like the characters, you know, get involved with them, so the more they span the better (as for me). So I can't completely strike out the new games (Tales included). But, yes, I would prefer Elaine not marrying Guybrush, for one thing.

I'm not saying they're bad games, or that they somehow ruined the characters. On the contrary. I just can't shake away the fact that Curse, Escape and Tales are, at the end of the day, licensed fan-fiction. Ron had a different story (and game) to tell and unfortunately he never got to do it.

Yes, I understand. You would prefer something better, something... more original. Something right out of the "womb" of the author.

Yes, but, let's face it, we really don't want a Metal Gear story here with MI, right?

No, but I don't think that's what he had in mind either.

Sorry, didn't understand that one. I'm not a native speaker. Ron had plans for MI3?

This pretty much sums it up:-

The first two games were Rons games. He wasn't involved in the creation of 'The Curse of Monkey Island'. His vision for a third game in the series was quite different and never released.
