Usually Amiga versions of game have better sound and music (e.g. Gods, Bloodnet, Dune...) than Atari ST and PC versions. But in this case, Monkey Island, ST version of music, is much more suitable to this game. Fettucini Brothers tune is also much better in ST version.
In the light of the release of Monkey 2 Special Edition, I wanted to hear the music of my beloved ST! I have this on emulator of course but I am in the office now, lol.
Hi, I know this is a tricky question but, does anybody knows what I've got to do to play sound with this game. My machine is a Dual-Core with no special sound board and I've downloaded the original version on 256 colors, that version is all around the web (3 mb) but any version plays no sound.
If someone had the same problem let me know what I could do because I played this game a lifetime ago and I'm dying to finish it up. Thanks for any hint.
@VintageReviewsJr with ScummVM you're not going to have this sound with the AdLib. You have to select the game, go to "options", then "audio" and finally choose PC Speaker as your "Music Driver"....and there you have it: retro-style TSOMI!!!!
This is a very good game!I dont like the special edition, but the classic one is very good,its one of those games that you actually have to use your brain and your imagination, instead of just picking up a gun and firing widely into the air and hope to hit someone...
this was also the soundtrack to the original pc floppys. oooh how i've wanted lucas arts to re-release this game with this version soundtrack - sadly, I don't think they ever will. even the new release this past month has the enhanced soundtrack.
yo soy cola, tu pegamento (spanish version). many thanks for this i love this game since my first computer with DOS and 5/4 diskettes and of course the speaker "oldschool"
*Sigh* Makes me feel old. Still such a damned good game... hell, that goes for all the old school scummve. Would love to see another Grim Fandango or Loom...
Yikes! I remember my friend loading MI onto her computer after hearing the higher quality one on my computer and she went "what's wrong with it?" Brings back memories though
Pc speaker...this sound is somehow addictive...I can go back to my childhood and dreams...

Despite the other soundcard intros, I still think this will always be the best theme ever.

Use ScummVM, add MI, go to "Edit Game", go to sound and change it to AdLib.

"no puedo utilizar el brazo del esqueleto con eso!!" "el sirope de hipecacuana no funciona ahí" "eso no necesita chicle!" jajaja
Qué nostalgia me causa escuchar el sonido del primer Monkey tal y como lo jugué en mi 286 con esos disketes de metro y medio...
Ojalá el 5 lo sacaran a la altura de los 2 primeros o por lo menos algo similar al 3...
Un saludo!
