    I can't remember fully myself, even thought i played the game a lot during my amiga days...
    I think it had something to do with the 'Big Whoop' themepark or other?

    Seriously, i have no idea, since my memory is very hazy.

        Also, Big Whoop is one of the best and cleverest jokes ever in a videogame. I didn't know what it meant when I was a kid playing Monkey Island 2 all those years ago... and I finally got it a year or so ago.
        Heehee!

              Game do it in the budget section, you get monkey island 1 and 2 on the same disc for a fiver. but its currently in the 3 for ?10 for reward card holders offer, so you can get broken sword one and two with it for a tenner

              thanks for the replies guys.

                Oh me oh my, I loved the Monkey Island games. Well maybe not the fourth one (seemed to lack the charm of the others), but 1~3 are easily among my favourite games ever.

                I really should get Scumm installed and play them again.

                You fight like a cow!

                        Only eBay I'm afraid. But what kick-ass games, they really won me over because of the characters. That's what all the LucasArts wannabes just couldn't do.

                          It's all explained at the end of Monkey Island III, which wasn't written by Ron Gilbert so it's hard to know if it's actually what the original creator had in mind. But according to MI:III, The Secret of Monkey Island is

                            But that doesn't matter. You can safely ignore anything post-Monkey Island 2, as MI3&4 are, for the most part, utter nonsense.[/quote]

                              the only question that remains, why haven't they brought 1 and 2 out for the GBA!?!
