EMI PS2 Chat with Sean and Mike
Posted by Emma @ 22:08 BST ( Comments 6 )
I've just come from the chat with the project leaders of EMI - Sean Clark and Mike Stemmle over at LucasArts. A great chat all in all, with The SCUMM Bar and Mixnmojo being plugged by the guys! (Thanks to some gentle persuasion from Pedgey)The guys revealed that EMI for the PS2 will include another in-game as a bonus - Monkey Invaders, and possibly EMI for other consoles, depending on how well EMI for the PS2 does. For anyone who missed the chat there should be a log up on the LucasArts web site in the next day or two.

World of a Difference
Posted by Skyfox @ 8:05 BST ( Comments 1 )
Only just noticed that The World of Monkey Island has a whole new design.. and nice it is too. The Art is done by Paco Vink who you may remember as doing some of the more spectacular art in our Fan Art section.

Also, The World of MI offer free email addresses... awww, isn't that sweet of them... BOARD 'EM! PILLAGE! GRAB THE BOOTY! and other such pirate quotations.

First mate Murray-Mint captured the Box Art.. aye! A fine man! I owe him a grog!" - Memoirs of Captain Skybeard, 1694

m0rpheus and P3D and Bajakian...oh my!
Posted by Chariset @ 18:00 BST ( Comments 0 )
In honor of our beloved #monkey-island DALnet channel, we are proud to link to The Matrix according to IRC! Good clean Matrixy humor.

Plunder 3D has updated! Go to Plunder3D to see concept art and new in-game screens.

Musical Monkey Clint Bajakian has opened up his own page, www.cbstudios.com with some music samples from EMI cutscenes. Clicky.

Jonathan Acklay
Posted by Skyfox @ 17:29 BST ( Comments 4 )
TheForce.net has some news regarding the names of some creatures in Star Wars Episode 2. What does this have to do with Monkey Island I hear you cryeth! Look at the list...

nexu
massif
acklay
kouhoun
orray
reek
shaak

Notice a familiar looking name? It is well known that George Lucas likes to name things after people he knows, just with a strange spelling. Both Jonathan Ackley (Co-Project Leader of CMI) and his wife, Casey-Donahue Ackley, have worked in LucasArts and Lucas Learning. Don't ya think that's kinda cool?? Your comments please!

Playstation 2 EMI Preview
Posted by Skyfox @ 15:10 BST ( Comments 0 )
Gamespot UK has a preview of EMI for the Playstation 2. How will the console version fair against the PC?

One must question LucasArts' business sense, though, since the Monkey Island series' PC exclusivity up to this time means that some of the recurring characters, intended jokes, and overall flavor could be lost in a console crowd that's unfamiliar with Threepwood's previous adventures.

Sounds Funny
Posted by Skyfox @ 12:24 BST ( Comments 0 )
Soundfont Island have updated with new MP3s... including the whole of the end music to Monkey Island 2. Classic music that is well worth grabbing.

Get Down(loads)
Posted by Skyfox @ 12:06 BST ( Comments 0 )
For those who are interested... the Downloads Section is now back up and running. Almost everything is there.. but not the MP3s at the moment, will try and get that sorted soon.

Monkey Island: The Movie!
Posted by Mandalor @ 8:11 BST ( Comments 5 )
Yes!

I got a mail from Dom today where he mentions The Secret of Monkey Island: The Movie.

The only thing planned is (of course) the plot, and they won't reveal any of the actors until 2002 (I guess they got the idea from Lord of The Rings)...

Well, all we can do is wait and see!

I'm definately excited!!
