[edit] Work on Story

As mentioned below, I took it upon myself to correct several details regarding the end of the story. The corrections ended up being quite a bit longer than I'd anticipated. Would it be worthwhile to rework the whole plot summary, maybe break it into its component acts? --68.41.122.213 09:50, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ending: different versions?

"The two brothers, one from the wound and the other from the gas, fall unconscious and wake up in an amusement park, as children." Are there different versions of the game? When I played it, the brothers were discovered by an employee of the amusement park, who says something among the lines of: "Hey, you kids shouldn't be here.". They never "fall unconscious".

No, I think the article is just a bit wrong...--Wormsie 20:59, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I just finished the game about ten minutes ago, so I'll fix it. --68.41.122.213 09:31, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Icons?

What's the point of those icons in this and the "The Secret of Monkey Island" -article. I think they look funny and are wrongly placed (if it was in the template it would be OK).--Wormsie 10:21, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Also, both Monkey Island 1 and LOOM has them. It was not me who put them (although I have restored them whenever they were removed), but I find nothing wrong and I find no reason to be removed. Pictureuploader 12:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

As fair-use images, they should only be kept if there is a point. Rather than there being no point to removing them. --JiFish(^Talk/_Contrib) 18:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

The usage of icons doesn't seem to be very uniform - some articles like that of SimCity 4 has an icon in the info box (which I think would be a good place, as for example ScummVM has its icon there - too bad the template doesn't support it), most game articles don't seem to have one at all. And besides, are those official icons? And what's the point of them? I think they just look "unprofessional", especially when placed like that. DOTT doesn't have an icon, Sam & Max: Hit the Road doesn't have an icon, Grim Fandango doesn't have an icon, The Curse of Monkey Island and Escape from Monkey Island don't have icons... I thought they were just put there by some enthusiastic fan who just wanted something to contribute, and didn't really care if it looked ugly or not.--Wormsie 12:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I would support complete removal. --JiFish(^Talk/_Contrib) 13:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Somebody removed the icon from The Secret of Monkey Island on the basis that "Wikipedia articles don't have icons".--Wormsie 11:53, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

So you say that they should stay. Shouldn't we all agree on something? Pictureuploader 12:56, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't remember saying that icons should stay... I meant that when someone said "Wikipedia articles don't have icons" I wondered if that was some sort of... Wikipedia policy? I don't know. Personally, I'm still against icons. :-P--Wormsie 10:14, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Please can we sometime settle on the matter of icons? During the last two days, someone restored it and someone else re-removed it. If others are pro icons except me, why don't they write their opinion here? Pictureuploader 02:17, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Actually, looking at the icon used for the Monkey Island 1 article, if memory serves correctly, doesn't the Macintosh version of the game use that icon? --4.156.210.217 13:51, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cell dog with key

i wanted to add this pic but there is no space in the text. Somebody could do it? Pictureuploader 12:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MOD -form?

Uhm, the music in MI2 is definitely just MIDI. Has nothing to do with MOD. If you don't believe me, rip the files yourself with ScummRevisited. The music was definitely not made with a tracker, and the sounds are MIDI sounds, not samples.--Wormsie 15:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Except in the case of Amiga probably Pictureuploader 08:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Good point. (Never had an Amiga myself, so I wouln't know.) But the original wording was still incorrect, as it only concerned the Amiga version.--Wormsie 08:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
