- THE CURSE OF MONKEY ISLAND: OLD SCHOOL EDITION DEMO FAN MADE
"README"
--
"The Curse of Monkey Island: Classic Edition Demo". This is a fan-made remake (or demake if you will) of the classic Lucasarts game "The Curse Of Monkey Island", the third installment of the Monkey Island series. The aim of this game is to give fans of the original game an idea of what the game would have been like had Lucasarts made it wih the same art style, animations and version of the SCUMM engine as "The Secret of Monkey Island" and "Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge".
This project, that began in May of 2010, is still in the early stages of develompent. It was created using Adventure Game Studio (AGS) and the SCUMM template created by Abstauber. Credit also goes out to everyone who gave me constructive critisism on the Mix 'n Mojo forums and everyone who gave me assistance on the AGS forums.
If you would like to help in the development of this project, I am currently looking for: Background artists, Spriters, MIDI Musicians
If your interested in helping in these or other areas please feel free to contact me via email at the following address:
Jackpumpkinhead@writeme.com.

Real shame this didn't go much further but you are due a lot of respect for even attempting it. Amazing work.
Someone put this on Kickstarter and i will throw money at it
I actually loved the art style in Curse.
Escape on the other hand, could use a remake much more imo.
I remember first playing Curse of Monkey Island and thinking that they had ruined the original charm of the previous 2 games. However, I recently played Curse of MI and actually thought it was pretty good, but still this is fantastic to see what it could have been like! Great work!
Yes, this was the style we loved!
Bill Tilly is the best artist for Monkey Island imo
How am I just now finding this!? Absolutely beautiful work. The original games were a bit before my time, but I've lived vicariously through others' experience of MI thanks to the internet. Your dedication to this "update" of MI3 really shines through, it's truly a loss it won't be completed.
Maybe someday the tides will turn for us Monkey Island flooring in- er, pirates!
If Guybrush hits the skeletons on the first try in the real game, he says "Perfect!" instead of "Hey, I'm getting pretty good at this!"
The opening scene should pan right from the island to show guybrush in his bumper car: Monkey 2 used such pans many times for effect (for example, diving to the Mad Monkey). In this case it would serve to tie Guybrush into the scene, but other than that, stellar work.
You are crazy. This is great. I love this.
Amazing job! I'd LOVE to play this
Excellent job, thanks for doing this.
this would be by far the most stunning classic edition monkey island game of all and that coming from a SUPER fan of the series
Very good work! Congrats mate!
This video led me down a rabbit hole to understand what Adventure Game Studio was, amazing software. If you have basic coding skills and a half decent drawing ability, you can make these games pretty simply. The only thing is the amount of time this would have taken to make these few levels we see here.
I'm currently making my own little short puzzle game.
Shame he stopped work on it, I would have loved to have seen what the whole game will have looked like.
Amazing job!
Finally Guybrush came back to his real shape.
Cool! I support this project!
Great work!
As much as I loved Curse, this really was how it should have been. Excellent job!
fantastic version, id love to play the whole game like this. looks like the blog has disappeared tho
This... This is just... *a m a z i n g.*
Teil 4 in dieser Optik... Ein Traum
So beautiful :')
Wow, schade dass du dein projekt nicht fortsetzen konntest. Trotzdem eine gelungene und anspruchsvolle Demo.
This is beautiful and I would play this
This is amazing
This is pure art! Congrats!
The problem with mi3 was that Ron left, graphics where nice, but I think mi3@ nailed with the tone, good demo, sad that we didn't see the complete history, tnks
Hey is that the cartographer from MI2?
Yepp, it's Wally.
Wally!! I hear he's still looking for a tattoo removal place that's freckle safe.
I did a advanced version of this project. If you like this, there are some videos of my version: type "Curse of Monkey Island Demake".
Impressive. Guess it would be unrealistic to have expected to see the whole game made in this style. But I had hoped for more :(
SirCraigius Yeah and i guess this project was abandoned a long ago 2011? and there seems to be or was, another "better" project going? but i dunno it's progress - czcams.com/video/qpRDW8d8QY8/video.html
Awesome work guys. Wish someone would do a remake of Escapes UI. I flatly refuse to play Monkey 4 because I hate the UI so much.
Dude I so play this. I wished they would've kept this classic style
man looks awesomeEEE
awesome!
OMG...AWESOME =)
Such a fantastic and unexpected idea!
PS.: It may be a dumbness but I found a bit hilarious Guybrush himself saying that should be the next thing to do in that point but the game is not finished.
Keep moving on! Also, a Spanish translation will be great.
love the music
Dude this is sooooo bad ass!!!!!
Now THIS is Monkey Island 3
holy...! what is this wonderfull!
This is fucking incredible
Genius, because never really liked the drawn version of Guybrush in this oroginal. A fullplayable Classic version would be auzumn.
The game should be this style. But you are missing the cut scene why Guybrush wakes up on LeChuck's ship.
It would be a step down from Peter Chan’s beautiful hand-drawn background art in Monkey 2.
great!
cool stuff!
Omg I want to play with this!
Love this. Thank you.
Just like the original, well done!!! 🐵
what a great job! so fun. congratulations
This was literally a dream of mine. This and the king's quest games being vga retroized. How far did the game get in production? Amazing work!
Wow. Just discovering this project... This looked very very good ! How far did you get in ?
You know fan games are never finished
Good video I suscribe your channel. like
Love it! The comic graphic style of Monkey 3 never was my thing, and I always wished they would have done it in the style of Monkey 2.
how did you do this? looks great 😱
YES, PLEASE !!!!!!!!!
Great work. But why not keep the voice acting?
but the voice acting in CMI was the best part! why would you want to get rid of it?
Tim Sutton I am guessing it's more retro this way :)
It's originality, if Ron Gilbert had made this game, this is how it would have been.
I would play this version, but I think it should be like the Special Editions, where you flick to this mode and an upgraded mode, like Special edition, NOT the original edition, although the original CMI could be added on completion, to make you complete it again.
Not really making me though, I'd play this over and over again.
RELEASE ON STEAM AS WELL.
LasTimelord it’s not actually true that this is like Ron would have made it. First of all the script is not by Ron. And Ron was never really responsible for the art and the art style. That was done by the artist and that style reflect very well then era and graphics possibilities of that time.
Like compare to Indiana Jones Lucasarts Games.
To not have voice is also weird as the reason was that there was not enough space. One year later all further Lucasart games became “talkies”
So most likely demake is exactly not what it would have looked and sounded if Ron have been involved. What would have been different would have been the script and possibly a different art style or voice cast IF indeed Ron would had been responsible for that (which he was not so much before)
That said I really like this demake project. Just found it and if it’s still alive I might contribute with some sprite and background art.
Also I don’t want to come out as negative or aggressive I just wanted to remind about the historical reasons the games looked and sounded in a way :)
@@litjellyfish Well said. Also, this is why I strugled a bit with Thimbleweed Park, as there was no real reason for it to look the way it did, other than purely for nostalgia.
It's not about "want", it's just what the project is
Did you make this yourself or where did you find this?
It would be better with Adlib music, but still pretty cool.
Yo question. What happened to this project? Was it ever finished or did it just get silently canned?
There making another Monkey Island!!! Return to Monkey Island is coming!!!
So I guess the next thing should be "The Curse of Monkey Island Old School Edition - Special Edition"
I want to play TF out of an old-school look CMI.
Is it discontinued .-.?
MY GOD!! can I Play this version!!???? THIS is what I want always! There is a spanish version?
Its reverse mastered!
Any updates? :)
Wally cries me too not that game graphic but is the best classic edition
Wouldn't mind ME3 remastered on xbox
what happened to this I would DEFO buy this.. Big Lover of the entire series
It's so true real this classic edition game not that curse
the link does not work at all: "blog not found"!
i think this project is long gone "dead" there is or was also "2016 - The curse of Monkey Island Demake" czcams.com/video/Hfq6CUonUjU/video.html
Please make it complete
Aww... is this discontinued?
seems so
so, did this project die, then?
where to get this edition?
😂😂😂😂
I want this game on my amiga 500 NOW
i know im super late to the party, but did you completely abandon this?..
do it for number 4 and ill give money
Woooooow, would be waaay better than the actual CMI. Wayyy better. And i love this Monkey 2 verbs config and font. It's the best to play.
This was a good idea; not sure if it's gratifying to actually put in the substantial amount of work it would take to convert the game down, but I'm pretty sure I'd like the third one better if it was closer to the original 2. The art style wasn't bad, and better than Escape, but eh, I don't remember it as fondly; some of that was writing if I remember correctly. The project had some value.
Conversely I loved CMI. The original two games were interesting visually, leaning towards photorealism (something I missed sorely in the Special Editions), but the bright colours and often cartoonish physics meant the full on move to cartoon visuals wasn't perhaps a big a leap as some might suggest.
It misses the direct hand of Nor Treblig and while it likely wouldn't have been the direction he'd have chosen, his spirit remains strong in numerous puzzles & situations they more or less swiped directly, and there was enough new to keep it fresh ("I am Murray!")
In the absence of Gilbert, I couldn't have asked for a better Monkey Island sequel (and indeed, never received such a good one again)
I thought the third has a lot of charm and really like the art style. Especially Blood Island oozes atmosphere.
0:00 What the fuck?!
even monkey island 1 had better quality music
And no voice acting like wtf
Some of the graphics could use improvement, like the stuff floating past Guybrush in the water.
Be quiet noob!
is better than the original
the full game was cancelled?
Glad someone has said this
No it’s different. Not better.
