If you’re not familiar with this screen, it’s a very direct and literal continuation from that much-loathed ending to Monkey Island 2. This did not bode at all well for Return, and so my heart sank when the very first screen of Return that you see, 10 seconds after clicking that “New Game” button, is this: I have spoken at length about my hatred for the theme park ending of Monkey Island 2, which was the last time I touched a Monkey Island game made by Ron Gilbert 1, and various interviews in the run-up to the release of Return to Monkey Island didn’t do anything to shake my impression that Ron Gilbert has theme parks on the brain. GameSpot regrets the error.When you look at it a certain way, the opening 10 minutes of Return to Monkey Island are an incredible meta-joke 30 years in the making. Update and Correction: Gilbert did not make Day of the Tentacle. Not much is known about the games in question, though one of them is Necessary Evil, which was intended to be a spiritual successor to Deus Ex. Deus Ex creator Warren Spector has tweeted, asking for the IP he created at Junction Point, which Disney owns. Gilbert isn't the only developer who wants their IP back from Disney. Gilbert says he doesn't "want to detract from Call of Duty by releasing. Thimbleweed Park releases on Xbox One, PC, Mac, and Linux either this October or January next year. He said it's "the classic adventure game you remember" that operates the exact same way as Gilbert's classic adventures did. Gilbert's next game is Thimbleweed Park, which GameSpot's Scott Butterworth previewed earlier this year. It was used to develop all of LucasArts' adventure games that followed except for Grim Fandango and Escape from Monkey Island. Follow-up Day of the Tentacle (1993) was remastered and re-released by Double Fine in March of this year-the original Maniac Mansion was playable in this release but not remastered.Īnother creation of Gilbert's is the well-known scripting language SCUMM, which stands for Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion. Gilbert developed Maniac Mansion in 1987. Telltale Games took a shot at the series with Tales of Monkey Island in 2009, in which Gilbert is credited as "The Visiting Professor of Monkeyology." LucasArts also released HD remasters of the original Monkey Island games. Gilbert worked on the first two Monkey Island games, The Secret of and LeChuck's Revenge. Dear now that you're not making games, please sell me my Monkey Island and Mansion Mansion IP.
