Torbjörn Andersson<p>The Sega CD version of Monkey Island unsurprisingly still has the Loom advertisement. I wonder if there were ever any plans for a Sega CD version of Loom, because I could easily see some players being disappointed when they found out it didn't exist.</p><p>I guess changing it to a different game would have been too much work. Pity!</p><p><a href="https://idlethumbs.social/tags/MonkeyIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MonkeyIsland</span></a> <a href="https://idlethumbs.social/tags/LucasfilmGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LucasfilmGames</span></a> <a href="https://idlethumbs.social/tags/SegaCD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SegaCD</span></a></p>
Torbjörn Andersson<p>Slightly less dark Sega CD graphics mode, based on my reading of how the BlastEm Sega emulator handles things. I still haven't been able to run the game in an emulator myself though.</p><p><a href="https://idlethumbs.social/tags/MonkeyIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MonkeyIsland</span></a> <a href="https://idlethumbs.social/tags/SegaCD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SegaCD</span></a> <a href="https://idlethumbs.social/tags/LucasFilmGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LucasFilmGames</span></a></p>

Torbjörn Andersson<p>Now here's a fun dilemma. Based on all the screenshots I've seen, the Sega CD version of Monkey Island was horribly dark. I mean bordering on the ridiculous. And I'm guessing the developers knew this, because they made the SCUMM Bar sign brighter than in any other version I've played.</p><p>Obviously ScummVM should offer the original behavior, or something close to it. But should it be the default? I mean, it's been running in bright mode for the past 20+ years...</p><p><a href="https://idlethumbs.social/tags/LucasFilmGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LucasFilmGames</span></a> <a href="https://idlethumbs.social/tags/MonkeyIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MonkeyIsland</span></a> <a href="https://idlethumbs.social/tags/Sega" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sega</span></a></p>
Torbjörn Andersson<p>TIL that there was a bug in ScummVM's handling of sound effects in the Sega CD version of Monkey Island that apparently went unnoticed for 20+ years.</p><p><a href="https://bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/15369" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">bugs.scummvm.org/ticket/15369</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>In the extremely unlikely event that anyone from Lucasfilm reads this:</p><p>The ability to fix these bugs is entirely dependent on having access to the games. You could really make a difference by a) selling these different versions, and b) not stripping the executables from the ones you do sell.</p><p><a href="https://idlethumbs.social/tags/MonkeyIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MonkeyIsland</span></a> <a href="https://idlethumbs.social/tags/LucasFilmGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LucasFilmGames</span></a></p>
Torbjörn Andersson<p>The Secret of Monkey Island, Sega CD version. I could lie and say I bought it because <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://idlethumbs.social/@darmato" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>darmato</span></a></span> recommended it, but actually it's just the most affordable of the oddball versions of the game. At least that I know of.</p><p>It's not the EGA version, alas, but at least Mancomb has a chair to sit on.</p><p><a href="https://idlethumbs.social/tags/LucasFilmGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LucasFilmGames</span></a> <a href="https://idlethumbs.social/tags/MonkeyIsland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MonkeyIsland</span></a></p>
