Secret of Monkey Island for Mac UK version

[superstarbeejay]

I picked this up at a boot sale recently and want to sell it on to someone who'd care. I've looked high and low and found nowt on it.

It is a genuine UK release version of Monkey Island for the mac. It is dated 1994 and still has the original reciept dated March 1995. As you can see the discs and box are different to the US Mac release here:

I can't find any information on it and can't find any evidence of it's existence.

Anyone know anything about it?

The Kixx label was for budget re-releases wasn't it? So i doubt Lucasarts had much input as to the design and box of the game.

"Here's a bunch of artwork and the game data, now give us a load of cash for licensing it"

I'm interested in it, depending on price.

Cheers for the interest. I don't even have a Mac to test it. I'll give you first dibs but I just want to find out about it at the moment.

i don't have a mac with a floppy drive, but i'm interested for sentimental reasons i guess.

If you get the CD-ROM version it should have speech. I picked up the White Label budget release many years ago which had the talkie versions of both Monkey Island 1 + 2. If you can find that anywhere it's a worthwhile purchase!

Oh, and if you want to run it without hassle on any modern system, check out http://www.scummvm.org. That allows you to play on almost any system you can think of! (They even have a PS2 version now it seems...)

i knew MI2 had talkie version, but not MI1! I'd love tro try'em both with with speech.
Ah, good 'ol monkey island1+2.. great music, twisted humour, great story.

Hmm. Maybe I'm wrong then. I'll check!

EDIT: From a quick Google, I think I'm wrong. CD audio, but no talkie-action. Oh well... Still a great game!

my mate told me that if ever they do a Monkey Island movie, I should go for the part of Guybrush Threepwood.

I think it was the long hair and beard, rather than crap sense of humour...

There's a nice little (actually, it's stupidly huge, but you know what I mean) box set of MI 1+2 on one disc with CDDA music for MI1, and MI3 on two more CDs. All three run just fine under SCUMMVM as well, apart from some synch issues with MI3 cutscenes; I was playing them last night.
