Tales of Monkey Island is so close we can taste it! (Tastes kinda like chicken…)





For the new Launch of the Scraming Narwhal (I mean Launch of the Screaming Narwhal) screenshots, click here. For the new gameplay video, visit the Tales of Monkey Island webpage here. Bring rootbeer if you have it.

I pre ordered in May so it's been along time coming...Just so happens i'm off work Wedsday so i can stay up all nite playing. No one will see me for days...lol...I will write a review afterward. And ofcouse i have rootbeer...Lynnypoo2

That was great Lynnypoo2. Have fun.

Very Excited also.....

I played all of the previous Monkey Games....I can't wait for this one...

Thanks, Becky

I was convinced that this series was come to an end and now i'm so excited hearing that it will be a new game with Guybrush... These games are on my top 5 list!

Can´t wait for this one. My favourite!!!

Looks great, but is it mouse or keyboard driven does anyone know?

Question: For whatever reason, I have not kept up with Monkey Island stuff for years. At their website, it says all 5 games to be delivered once a month. Does this mean downloads? And, about the DVD...does that contain the games as well?

Thanks in advance to whomever can answer my questions. I want to get all 5 for that $34.95. Thanks!!

Cissy,

Yes. They are downloads.

If you buy the whole season - 5 games. You will get the DVD for the cost of shipping it.

bermag,

I'll find. I'll post when I do.

Thanks, MaG! Going to pre-order now!

Forgot to mention, you get the DVD at the end of the season; when all the 5 downloads are released.

Yah, so I read! Thankie, MaG!

Anytime. Just want to be clear.

bermag,

You can use either the keyboard or mouse.

Well, I came, I saw, and I ordered. . LOL!

Great!

MaG - excellent service as usual - thanks!

I believe the controls are just like the ones for the game Wallace and Gromit. At least that's what it says on the Monkey Island forum. Those controls were not that hard anyway. You used both the mouse and the keyboard.

Not exactly. You can use the keyboard to move Guybrush around (like in Wallace & Gromit), or you can use a new "click and drag" method with the mouse. Telltale wanted to make the direct control more user friendly for those who prefer point and click. I think it works pretty well.

I will let you know how the controls are tomorrow when i get home from work. It's going to be so hard working knowing the download will be available when i get home...so excited i can stay up all nite because i'm off on Weds. Wallace and Gromits isn't too bad. I find it a little irritating but i've gotten use to alot of different game controls and that click and drag sounds interesting. Can hardly wait for my first episode...play on...

I've been checking the Telltale website to see the announcement that the game has released -- and (apparently) so has everybody else.

Add to the overload today on their servers by clicking on this link that explains that they are very, very, very close to releasing the game! (Just kidding -- no really.)

Becky. I am adding to the overload.

I liked this bit on the blog entry:

I think that quote shows you that the spirit of Monkey island is alive and well.

It's here! Tales of Monkey Island: Episode One -- Launch of the Screaming Narwhal has released. You can download it now, and after the fifth episode releases, you can get all five episodes on DVD.
