You can dowload them all from The SCUMM Bar website.

Pay attention You will see that after the whirlpool,Herman does NOT wash ashore alone on Monkey Island. What happens is that he washes ashore somewhere(he never says that he washed up on MONKEY island)with amnesia and so bedraggled that none recognizes them. He hears about the treasures of Monkey Island and he and his friend decide to sail off and find them.Why did he return to find the secret of Monkey Island when he'd already found Big Whoop?He had forgotten he'd found it (the amnesia) get it?

I like to imagine their was a Herman Toothrot and this Horatio found something about him and thought he was him

@UltraSonicTH good point!

It's amusing how the story involes Guybrush trying to find The Ultimate Insult™. This cutscene alone IS The Ultimate Insult™ to every Monkey Island fan that's familiar enough with the 3 earlier games.

As a Monkey Island fan, I wanted nothing more than to love this game, and was prepared to forgive anything... I thought... but between this, robot monkey insanity and various ideas and environments that felt tacky and out of place in a MI game, it seemed clear to me that the writers of EMI did not hold the earlier games as dearly to their hearts as many fans did (at least not in the same way).

Was it so hard to create new plot depth without stampeding through our memories of the earlier games?

i thought ht was suposed to be buff

Maybe the REAL Herman Toothrot is back on Dinky Island? That actually does make sense, but Herman recognizes Guybrush after you whack him with the milk bottle, and says that he's the one who found the banana picker, so that would really have to be Herman, unless Herman in MI1 is really Horatio and the REAL Herman is stuck on Dinky the whole time...

This is really confusing. Even then it still doesn't make sense...

SuperSmasher1's explanation is the only one I think is feasible; It's been awhile since I played the games, but I can't dispute the idea that there may have been a Herman that Horatio just assumed the identity of. The other theories just seem to be futile attempts to draw some consistency from bad writing.
