Dominic Armato really loves the game and doing the voice of Guybrush, which makes his performance better. I came to this series a bit late, but became an instant fan, and the music from the first game is the best.
This is my favourite have EVER! I played it when I was 8 years old and I still love it just as much! I think the remake is cool too, I'm glad it is faithful to the original
This game is the best game ever created. It was a good choice to remake it. as soon as i saw it it on steam i purchased it and will purchase any future remakes or releases!
As much as the new graphics are nice, there's just something solid about pixelart. Or maybe it's just nostalgia, but pixelart is so timeless and iconic, so the fact that you can change back and forth is GREAT.
awesome game...i`ve heard 6 years ago about the series..and i`ve just played and finished the first one today (special edition) now i`m playing the second one :D
The graphics and animations are perfect. According to the video the idea was to make a "faithfully reimagined version of the classic 1990 pc game". It's perfect. If they changed it too much, they would just ruin it.
you know i have to agree with MiRyRE guys, you shouldn't be complaining cause you can switch back and forth, i think it's cool to see what they did and how they made things a little easier to see and imagine, besides if you didn't like the voices from curse and such then you shouldn't have both this new one and stuck with the old one anyways...but still thank you for doing this remake...now i can finally play this game i've watched my brother play while i grew up :D
Cant Wait To Get This :D,Been A HUGE Fan Of LucasArts For A Number Of Years.I Really Hope That They Do A Remake Of Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis Sometime
it's one of the most legendary games, and changing it's spirit, humor, and pretty much anything but sound and graphics would be extremely stupid! whoever played the original monkey island over 15 years ago, will certanly love this, and if you think that game is all about graphics and looks... well, just play crisis, or something.
This could be pretty cool, although I don't know how necessary it is to do a re-release like this. I'm glad they brought back Armato, and from the sounds of it the original LeChuck voice actor is back as well.
Downloaded the demo... played it... bought it! As an Amiga fanboy I don't miss the disk swapping! LOL The original version is here intact... and with one click you can swap back and forth (in real time) between original and remastered. That's my fav part.
To beat it, it won't take long. Like 6-7 hours. but to find every funny conversation might take a life time :) I'm still finding new stuff I never tried before.
I'm not a 'pixel art or nothing" kind of guy, but there is something about the special edition art that feels a little too clean. It feels kind of like early 2000s flash game art somehow.
I've yet to see it, I wonder if you can actually choose the stuff in the opening you could before like "I'm guybrush threepwood and I want to be a fireman!"
I really love the way you can change the game back to the original without losing progress (my pc is kinda slow, so the parts with lots of water, like the outside of Scumm Bar get really lag, but I only press F10 and I can play that part with no problem using the original game and then switch back in other place :P).
HIGHLY recommend this to anyone Got this game last night for 6.99 off the website and was playin within 25 mins Unbelievable is all I can say, if u are a fan u will love this and more, I would just like MI 2 remake to look forward to when I get to the end.
@Alfawolf06 hahaha I watched my brother play it too because I was like 5. i dunno why it didn't occur to me to go back and play them all myself until last year. it was a whole new experience, cause I'd completely forgotten the plots. i adore this game. I'm so glad it was a part of my childhood.
I am sooo gutted this isn't being released on Playstation network. Lucas arts please please please at least release a monkey island iPhone game, that would be legendary.
it may be ugly but it will be awesome to hear guybrush voice once again in this game!!! i found it awesome idea and i hope they will make a special edition of Monkey Island 2 also....
There is one thing, and only one, that I find a little saddening about this, and that's that they went with a cartoonish art style in the end. I always sort of liked the semi-realistic art of the original. However, that's why it's so awesome that you can change it back on the fly. I look forward to this game.
-omg, i was SO happy when they brought this out..... f*cking awesome -they dont make games like this anymore... -now they need to remake Loom, Quest for Glorys, Kings Quests, and BOTH Laura Bow mysterys - that would be great... that would def bring me soo back....
Although I've been hoping for a remake for a loooong time, it brings tears to my eyes to see yet another great PC game being modified for multi platform. Oh, and I agree with 0igres, the first treee rocked, the fourth was very disappointing.
@MrYourtoaster Not likely and not needed imho. Curse is already talkie and high resolution too. The only reason for the new version would be compatibility with new operating systems, but SCUMMVM has got that covered quite nicely. The only game in the series in need of a remake in my opinion would be Escape, because its early 3D has really not aged well.
You will never be able to match monkey island 1 & 2 for me so remaking them is probably the best option! curse of monkey island was pretty good tho. Im going to enjoy reliving the magic anyhooo !!
I totally agree. Point and click adventure games are a dying genre, and they deserve to come back with a vengeance! Unfortunately, with some gamers nowadays having the attention span of a flea, and only feeling fulfilled by playing the latest FPS., I don't really see that happening. I'm feeling uncharacteristically pessimistic, even though this remake is so good...
I'd say modern wafrare and baldurs gate is pretty good. Battlefield 2 with voice communication and squad based combat was awesome if you found a good squad leader and commander. Nothing like that in the amiga and dos days.
Dominic Armato really loves the game and doing the voice of Guybrush, which makes his performance better. I came to this series a bit late, but became an instant fan, and the music from the first game is the best.
This is my favourite have EVER! I played it when I was 8 years old and I still love it just as much! I think the remake is cool too, I'm glad it is faithful to the original
MI1 is amazing, you're gonna love it.
MI2 is the best adventure game I've ever played. I hope they remake it too!
BEST GAME IN HISTORY: PERIOD.
Leisure Suit Larry is better! LOL
This game is the best game ever created. It was a good choice to remake it. as soon as i saw it it on steam i purchased it and will purchase any future remakes or releases!
just finished it. A hell of a ride ,beautifull.
One of the best and most loyal remakes ever made. GO TRY IT GUYS!
The first game is HILARIOUS! You'll really appreciate it if you enjoyed the sequels. I'm so excited to play it!
As much as the new graphics are nice, there's just something solid about pixelart. Or maybe it's just nostalgia, but pixelart is so timeless and iconic, so the fact that you can change back and forth is GREAT.
Yes! I'm going to buy this one, for sure. I really like it that they used the "old" cast from Curse.
This is absolutely amazing!!!
I miss playing this game. Had it on my ipod. I wish google play had it.
awesome game...i`ve heard 6 years ago about the series..and i`ve just played and finished the first one today (special edition) now i`m playing the second one :D
This game is a real masterpiece! The remake is awesome too.
Also, the music is perfect.
pixel art leaves room for imagination and can create more realism than high resolution graphics
The graphics and animations are perfect. According to the video the idea was to make a "faithfully reimagined version of the classic 1990 pc game".
It's perfect. If they changed it too much, they would just ruin it.

oh my God this is amazing!!! Im buying this tomorrow!!!
Awesome! I had no idea this was being made!
Cant Wait To Get This :D,Been A HUGE Fan Of LucasArts For A Number Of Years.I Really Hope That They Do A Remake Of Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis Sometime
Yaaaay! The game from my childhood!!! :) I'm installing that now!
im so happy, played the first part 1990 :( i hope a good simon the sorcerer remastered is coming.
it's one of the most legendary games, and changing it's spirit, humor, and pretty much anything but sound and graphics would be extremely stupid!
whoever played the original monkey island over 15 years ago, will certanly love this, and if you think that game is all about graphics and looks... well, just play crisis, or something.
Here after the announcement of the return of monkey island in 2022
This could be pretty cool, although I don't know how necessary it is to do a re-release like this. I'm glad they brought back Armato, and from the sounds of it the original LeChuck voice actor is back as well.

Incredible... the old graphics are better than the new version...
¡¡INCREDIBLE!!
hmm hearing guybrush say the classic words "You fight like a cow!" is well worth it all :D
omg, seamless switching to original mode. sold!
the remake of Monky Island 2 is really cool! Played on the Ipod Touch.
To beat it, it won't take long. Like 6-7 hours. but to find every funny conversation might take a life time :) I'm still finding new stuff I never tried before.
"Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just glad to see us?" lol
wow I can't wait playing it again! :-)
I'm not a 'pixel art or nothing" kind of guy, but there is something about the special edition art that feels a little too clean. It feels kind of like early 2000s flash game art somehow.
i like the old point and click system... i miss it so much!
"It's that a banana in your pocket?...or are you just glad to see us?" ^_^
I wouldn't call anyone a real gamer who haven't played and finished the whole Monkey Island series.
if you're referring to the 3D Guybrush of 2000's MI4, yes, he does look weird
I loved the intro and Le Chuck theme
This game changed my life!!
so we are going to hear stan? *shivers* seeing his arm flailing was enough lol
It's interesting how the best things that have come out of George Lucas' companies for the last 20 years have absolutely nothing to do with him.
I've yet to see it, I wonder if you can actually choose the stuff in the opening you could before like "I'm guybrush threepwood and I want to be a fireman!"
I really love the way you can change the game back to the original without losing progress (my pc is kinda slow, so the parts with lots of water, like the outside of Scumm Bar get really lag, but I only press F10 and I can play that part with no problem using the original game and then switch back in other place :P).
How appropriate. You fight like a Dairy Farmer!
Reminds me of Flasheart in 'Blackadder 2':
"Nursie. I like it firm and fruity. Am I pleased to see you or did I just put a canoe in my pocket?"
:-D
1:39 I lol'd :D
I have this game, but sadly I'm so busy with school stuff, that it's hard to find time to play it..
cant wait either for number 2 remake and would also like to see indiana jones fate of atlantis aswell takes me back to my childhood.
HIGHLY recommend this to anyone
Got this game last night for
6.99 off the website and was playin within 25 mins
Unbelievable is all I can say, if u are a fan u will love this and more, I would just like MI 2 remake to look forward to when I get to the end.

it was a whole new experience, cause I'd completely forgotten the plots.
i adore this game. I'm so glad it was a part of my childhood.
I was never to fussed on guybrush's voice though, not how I imagined it when I played the first one
+guoitdreuy I always played it in text only, and yeah, the voice just didn't seem "right".
I am sooo gutted this isn't being released on Playstation network.
Lucas arts please please please at least release a monkey island iPhone game, that would be legendary.
I'm going to buy this 80 times.
it may be ugly but it will be awesome to hear guybrush voice once again in this game!!! i found it awesome idea and i hope they will make a special edition of Monkey Island 2 also....
@MiRyRE Thats awesome I diidnt know you could do that I just bought it from Steam , its still downloading
Oooooh! This is gonna be sooo awesome!
Yes, that would be truly awesome.
Feature to switch to the classic look = IM SOLD! :D
I love the fact that with the new graphics the troll looks MORE like George Lucas.
There is one thing, and only one, that I find a little saddening about this, and that's that they went with a cartoonish art style in the end. I always sort of liked the semi-realistic art of the original. However, that's why it's so awesome that you can change it back on the fly. I look forward to this game.
Are there any good new adventure games similar to monkey island, day of the tenticle, Sam n max, etc?
Thimbleweed Park is the new game by Ron Gilbert - coming out at the end of March 2017.
Richard Thomas hey thanks man I'll definitely get that
-omg, i was SO happy when they brought this out..... f*cking awesome
-they dont make games like this anymore...
-now they need to remake Loom, Quest for Glorys, Kings Quests, and BOTH Laura Bow mysterys - that would be great... that would def bring me soo back....
Although I've been hoping for a remake for a loooong time, it brings tears to my eyes to see yet another great PC game being modified for multi platform.
Oh, and I agree with 0igres, the first treee rocked, the fourth was very disappointing.
I'm really happy they made this version, I will buy it.
But I really miss the 2D graphics of MI3....
as he said, to keep the old feeling.
@Thyressarexus I would love a remaster of DOTT , that would be so amazing
Thats exactly why I'll buy it. Its Monkey Island 1 with voices! Dont like the new graphics? Just switch and you still get voices.
Great stuff
great game, hope they do the same to full throttle, the dig and day of the tentacle
I can't wait to download it !
@MrYourtoaster
Not likely and not needed imho. Curse is already talkie and high resolution too. The only reason for the new version would be compatibility with new operating systems, but SCUMMVM has got that covered quite nicely.

That would be amazing!
One of bests game ever made..and played
when they make a movie?
they were but it got cancelled
and all kind of rumors about Disney making maybe next Monkey island game.
It's called pirates of the caribbean xDDDD
greeeaaattt!!!
Oh my GOD. 4:38
Dominic Armatto just became a 10.
I can't believe it's guybrush! :D
You will never be able to match monkey island 1 & 2 for me so remaking them is probably the best option! curse of monkey island was pretty good tho. Im going to enjoy reliving the magic anyhooo !!
i see the revival of the genre!!!
totally want this NOW!
i heard there gonna remake all of most of the lucasarts adventure games and put them on xbla
I do miss the disk swapping. Especially at the stump :(
is there voice from characters in the original Monkey island 1 too? or only in special edition?
Does it contains the original music? I dont mean if its remastered also but is it the same melodies etc?
It allready is on Steam and X-box live.
It's going to be for both PC and Xbox.
And isn't Grim Fandango kinda new?
It's 3D?
@PrincesTomboy just press F9 during gameplay whenever u want ;) there u go!
the game from the `90 was great but with this new tech its perfeceted
Hmm compared to the last three yeah I'd probably agree but I still loved it.
I think it looks cool, similar to Steve Purcell drawings, or maybe he actually did it? i like it
I really don't like the Remastered look of Guybrush in this. It's a shame, his voice is perfect.
Absolutely.
look like i'll be buying this
Does anyone know how long it may take to complete? just incase if I buy it, I don't want to end up completeing it too soon.
fantastic!!!!!!!!
yes.
1. open steam
2. click on "File" and chose "Go Offline..."
3. steam will restart in offline mode.
4. your done =)
I totally agree. Point and click adventure games are a dying genre, and they deserve to come back with a vengeance!
Unfortunately, with some gamers nowadays having the attention span of a flea, and only feeling fulfilled by playing the latest FPS., I don't really see that happening. I'm feeling uncharacteristically pessimistic, even though this remake is so good...
@omegakarnage Where did you hear that?
I'm looking forward to play....
*turns around* where? I don't see anything... hey!
I'd say modern wafrare and baldurs gate is pretty good. Battlefield 2 with voice communication and squad based combat was awesome if you found a good squad leader and commander. Nothing like that in the amiga and dos days.
better than all 3 although all 3 are classics in their own right
