I have and I liked them a lot. No reason to wait for a dire '''''''''remaster''''''''' though, play the ultimate talkie editions in ScummVM for a decent modern experience.
>They were already remastered
I thought he was implying videogame "remasters" aren't ever actual remaster for the proper meaning of the word. Marketing shills simply discovered that gullible consumers respond better to that term than to "enhanced port".
>did people shit on 09
And how. It's also extremely shitty, just a completely different kind of shitty.
I wish
included the original 16-color version; I actually remember some purists which may or may not include myself claiming the 256-color version was a downgrade: for example the original had an extra version of the docks background before the sun set completely, and also featured very different stylized closeup character portraits (pixel-art style) created by Steve Purcell.
>makes a random character black
it's not that it happened that makes me upset but the fact that it happened BECAUSE some fricking soiboi decided the game was "too white"
I'm at 11 hours in on Monkey Island and I can't figure out how to get on my ship. I love the game's writing, but these puzzles are absurd. Buying the ship was baffling. He offered me all these extra deals on the ship and as a joke I said yes to one of them, and then when it came time to paying for it my assumption was I needed to haggle with him and threaten to walk off, hoping he would lower the price. He didn't and I couldn't afford the ship. So I left, came back and after a few attempts he just sold me the ship despite me not doing anything different. And now I got my crew and have spent hours combining every item and clicking on every pixel. There's no more locations to visit and I have no idea what to do.

Okay, I've played neither of these, but I enjoyed Broken Sword and Grimfandango, so let's do it.
Other than 'just install it bro', what's the best way of experiencing these (on Linux)?
Climb the rope ladder to get the flag. Open the cereal box in the cupboard. Look at the recipe on the back of the map and put enough items that are close enough to the description into the cauldron, it will knock you unconscious when successful. Get the rope and gunpowder in the lower deck and use the map on the fire under the cauldron to get a flaming mass. Go to the upper deck. Use gunpowder and rope on cannon, light rope with flaming mass, use pot on cannon. Part III is where you need the guide.
The special editions remove the stump joke, the verbs in the hold my breath for ten minutes ending, and the dancing monkey intro in MI2, even though MI2 references the stump joke. The answers to Toothrot's list of colors changes Macintosh Gray to Macintosh Red, because no one remembers the Mac Classic.

>ultimate talkie
If you're not doing the voices yourself, you didn't really play Monkey Island 1 or 2.
I've played them enough times at this point

>talkie
Inferior to voiceless tbh.
>Inferior
Not really relevant since he said 'modern experience' and that would basically mean voice acting
The modern experience is dogshit for bland people allergic to actual taste though.
I don't play western pozzed shit

During the initial COVID lockdown, my friends and I played these over Zoom while drinking and yelling. It’s now one of my favorite gaming memories.
>2022 is real and of course one pirate is black
thanks for ruining my day anon

Jesus Christ I actually had to look it up because the "2022" screens would be perfectly believable as a fan-made joke.
did people shit on 09? if only we knew how good we had it.

I'm stuck and not even on a puzzle.
its time to look up a guide now
>And now I got my crew and have spent hours combining every item and clicking on every pixel. There's no more locations to visit and I have no idea what to do.
Put items in the pot
Did you get all three crew members and the credit from the store to actually pay for the ship?
>watch/read them
Interactive adventures aren't games.
I tried on Xbox 360 and basically fell asleep.
Admittedly these games don't feel like something you should play lying down.

That banana puzzle is bullshit.

"I don't suppose it's a Nintendo game" is changed to "I don't suppose it's a LucasArts game."
