10 minutes underwater in Monkey Island 2

[alixlaurenweaver]

Wait a second... how can Guybrush still talk if he's drowning? O.o

[v4lkyr]

omg I love the way he jumps back in the boat

[Novetrix]

Moneys love bananas.

[trearoos]

I guess he has to catch his breath and go down again?

[StephenP18]

Here's a pointless but fun fact

Guybrush can swim in MI2 , but in MI1 in part 2 the journey, when Guybrush is on his ship and you tell him to swim to Monkey Island when the island is in sight, he says he can't swim.

Did he take swimming lessons in his spare time?

@StephenP18

between the first game and the second game he grew a beard, aqquired riches and seemed to be living life as the man before relapsing to his regular self in time for the second game. Professional swashbuckling requires swimming lessons

This monkey head looks really heavy.

And it's going right in my pants.

[Cotimac]

ahora que lo pienso el organo fue inservible

[NeptunII]

I don't suppose something like this also happens in Tales, does it?

[ronackostolomac]

@NeptunII yes it does

Oh dear, do you really have to wait 10 whole minutes? xD

20 yrs ago ... no cable but boom box hooked up to PC my nephew built with

Win 3.1 and DOS or etc...as the upgrading kept going on to further advancements!

The AdLib/SoundBlaster music you can listen to here is so much better than the crappy music in the "classic version" of MI2:Special Edition. I even like the AL/SB music more than the new arrangements with real instruments, don't know why. In SOMI:SE I liked the new arrangements best.

[Mrster]

@OMA2k

Same. Would love to get my hands on these versions.

[luizfalves]

I LOL everytime he does the backflip onto the ship and makes that "w00t" face.

[DarthBlam]

Woot! Hey guys they are makeing a Monkey Island 2 Special Edition!!

First was great.. can't wait for this one.

[meatisdeliciouse]

The music is similar to Tron in parts.

[SackBratch]

I don't remember this part either, I think I must have played the game on easy mode. I did read somewhere that Guybrush died after being underwater for ten minutes.

[santtusoturi]

PULL - Monkey head?  and then

PUSH - Monkey head

>:(

[SharptoothX]

I like it how he smiles at the camera at the end.

[benji104]

I don't remember this scene. is it an essential part of the game??

[LaukkuTheGreit]

Yes. You need the Monkey Head to buy one of the map pieces.

[jeyko666]

@LaukkuTheGreit you need the head only if on NOT-lite difficulty :)

[LaukkuTheGreit]

@jeyko666 I keep forgetting the existence of Lite mode :)

My version of the game, which is on a CD, has the Lite mode removed. I've only heard of it on the Internet, as I've never played it - only Hard mode.

[KatziiYataki]

@LaukkuTheGreit Is your CD by any chance the one from the Bounty Pack collection? If so, the Lite mode is actually on there.

[LaukkuTheGreit]

@KatziiYataki I'ts the Monkey Island Madness CD, from LucasArts archive vol. III. By Lite actually being there, do you mean it's hidden in the resource files, but ignored by the game?

[KatziiYataki]

@LaukkuTheGreit Ah, I don't know of "Monkey Island Madness", but I know I got the Bounty Pack YEARS ago, which I continued to play on my Windows 98 laptop, which never gave me a difficulty option. When I figured out ScummVM on my Windows 7, I remember starting it up and being greeted with a purple screen giving me the option of both versions! So it may well be hidden in yours but bypassed by the disc running ordinarily.

[KatziiYataki]

@LaukkuTheGreit Apologies - I never got a notification in my email!

That's essentially what I'm saying, at least for the Bounty Pack version. If you had that and you run Monkey Island 2 through SCUMMVM, you will be able to access Lite mode. I don't have the Madness CD so wouldn't be sure.

[LaukkuTheGreit]

@KatziiYataki Maybe you didn't get a notification because I didn't write a new reply? :-) That 8 months old post of yours was the latest in our discussion.

Anyway, looks like you didn't read my post that well the first time around, and additional clarification is always welcome. Also, I tried playing my Madness version in ScummVM at some point (always used Dosbox), and got to play Lite mode. :-) Yay for removed puzzles and content!

[KatziiYataki]

@LaukkuTheGreit Hahahah, I swear I will never get used to the wonderful world of YouTube comments!

Glad you got to play totally-cut-down mode though; you're now qualified to call yourself a videogame reviewer!

[Username5125415]

Make sure you played the hard mode otherwise you miss all sorts of scenes like this.

[benji104]

right! When I was a child I played the easy version of this game, because I only had the english version (I'm german). Thanks for pointing this out.

[razorbulan]

@Username5125415 is the best on hard mode:)

[Greyweed]

@benji104

You might have played the easier mode in the game, there are two modes.

[billytalento]

@benji104 maybe you played it on easy

[Eisenfresser84]

Guybrush Thriftweed, funny situation as we know it ;)
