I hope they've improved Monkey1 SE and corrected the verb-tags for the inventory in Monkey2SE. As it is you can only ever "look" or "use" your items in Monkey2SE, not "give" unless you switch mode; try giving the monocle...  [Read More]

Hey that Roland music is pretty cool, lol, just tried it. You seem to be right about the Sfx; it was music only (floppy version) but the CD version played the sfx no problem. The CD version doesn't seem to have any embedded music, and relies on the C...  [Read More]

Misusing commercial fonts would be piracy, as would distributing full versions of games which the copyright holders do not want distributed. Another difference is that fonts are still sold (not to mention they're worth much more then PG games): http...  [Read More]

I think if someone went to all the trouble of making their own code-wheel to play a pirated game then they probably deserve to play it (this swf (http://www.djgallagher.com/games/pc/monkeyisland1/dial_a_pirate.php) one is far more practical). And I s...  [Read More]
