A Three-Headed Monkey Figurehead

  • A nice "tip of the hat" to arguably one of the best Pirate games ever made... Up until recent years that is. (Nice bit of flattery goes a long way)

  • @guybrush3pwood2 unfortunately your namesake and companions are now imprisoned in the clutches of an evil rodent whom nobody wants to cross. I fear we may never see them again.

  • There was an x-box achievement "How Appropriate! You Fight Like A Chicken" I guess that may be the biggest, safest acknowledgement they could make. Still made me smile when it popped up on screen, even if they had to change "Cow" for "Chicken"

  • A pirate I was meant to be, trim the sails and roam the sea...

  • "Use Jojo with pump".

    I second this

    aye nice idea there could be a whole ship after monkey island

  • @frankblort We'll surely avoid scurvey if we all eat an orange....

  • @william-flint

    ...erm, door hinge? Ah well, back to work.

    why not

  • @amancebacabras I personally would like the Sea Monkey, with a half sunk look and constand small leaks. For the pirate who wants a challenge (or is desperate) only.

  • I could see this guy stood in one of the shipwright buildings for a special Monkey Island celebration weekend selling the "Limited Edition" items.

  • monkey island is one of my favorite games of all time... imagine phatt island as an outpost in sot in sot graphic artstyle

    like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbx1ByIQtzc

    i would wipe tears :D if we get the orig intro theme as a shanty but that will never happen cause monkey island is owned by disney today

  • @weedstar-deluxe Love the link!!!!
    I'd like to see the Voodoo lady do a temping job for a bit in the Order of Souls shack and for a Lechuck to spawn as a boss at the skull fort.

  • @guybrush3pwood2 This might be a case of copyright, I fear. Who owns this stuff right now, disney?

  • "Meleê Island" from "Monkey Island" exists, in real life, in Germany...
    Perhaps they could get around copyright by just saying they were basing a place design around the town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber

  • @goedecke-michel Yeah.... I don't think risking the wrath of Disney would be a good business move. But we can still dream.

  • Shame, I was reading the other day that Tim Schafer, who was partly responsible for Monkey Island now works for Microsoft since his business Double Fine Productions was bought by them.
    Would have been nice to have shoehorned a few Monkey Island references into the game

  • We can also combine trashtalking and cutlass combat 😂😂😂

  • @bugaboo-bill I always think of the bone deep, comeback hours after the first insult is slung. I'd walk around saying "I am rubber, you are glue" and then hours later think damn!!!! I should've said "Even BEFORE they smell your breath?"

  • @guybrush3pwood2 @Bugaboo-Bill OMG how I miss that...

  • @Goedecke-Michel @Guybrush3pwood2

    If this ✌(shows 2 Fingers) is 3
    Then whats this 🖐 (shows 5 Fingers)?

    Dont know if the mobile emojis are visible. To me it works on my mobile :-P

    I'll be honest with you, Naughty Dog already used Guybrush Threepwood in uncharted 3 and a three headed monkey can be from anywhere (and I doubt anyone at Disney actually knows they own the IP :-P

    But It's.... PINK!?!?

  • @bugaboo-bill The Emojis do. Haha, I still have the discs on which the solution had to be found. I think I have to install the old games again on my Linux computer...

    Remember the copy protection disc?

  • @goedecke-michel We need the poodles, too.

  • @goedecke-michel ... and the grog to meld down metal.

  • @bugaboo-bill @Goedecke-Michel Just had to google the solution to the finger puzzle. Lol, God this brings back infuriating memories.
    I remember that disc!
    It took me forever to find the Ipecac Flower. Think it was by the swamp. They used to provide a helpline you could call for solutions. Think I had to make a call on that one.
    I think I may have to purchase the Monkey Island series again. I need the Largo Embargo in my life

  • @guybrush3pwood2 thats super cool ,i live in germany. the pic from the meele island town is bit modified but even when you watch on the orig meele island street its so close

    Sach das doch gleich XD
    Alaaf ^^

    @Guybrush3pwood2 most memorable game for me ever.
    But SoT is close.

  • @bugaboo-bill I do! The imner prtion with the lower half of the faces on it went missing on mine (much like in your picture). I had an amazing friend who used his as a guide to hand make me a new one so I could still play.

  • @william-flint
    Mine was a copy of 3 sheets i put on a carton to rebuild it :-)
    I dont know what game it was but many games had these code tables but yellow on white and you couldnt copy it easily :-)
    Oh je i was a a Software Pirate and bootlegger in this time, but i also bought some games.
    Falcon 3.0 for example and later the diablo games.
    Today i buy all i even buyed Monkey Island special Editions ;-)

  • @hynieth uncharted was released a few years before Lucasfilm was sold to the corporation we shall not name. Also while you are probably correct that you can get away with things like a three headed monkey that dosen't mean anyone wants to risk it. And I assure you that Disney (whoops) has someone keepimg track of every single property they own, considering they have a policy of never letting a property go once they gave their claws in ot, no matter if they never have or never do plan on doing anything with it. And now that a judge has denied their newest attempt to extend the length of a copyright they will be out for blood.

    Or maybe my distate for them is clouding my judgement. That is distinctly possible.

  • @bugaboo-bill I remember Wing Commander had several fighter bluprints with specs, and a dossier of pilots in the manual that it could ask questions from. Good luck copying all that.

    I think the best copy protection I have seen wasn't even intended that way: you could just boot up Silent Service 2, but it had so many commands tou had to put a keyboard map over your keyboard...not an easy thing to copy.
