  1. Gestern im #LastDrop, einer eSports / Gaming Bar in #Paderborn, nicht nur beim #Nerd Quiz mitgemacht, sondern auch mal einen #MonkeyIsland und einen #Padawan getrunken - lecker und alkoholfrei 🙂!

  2. In meiner ersten Folge vom im #Laberfeuer #AUA angekündigten „Ich lasse #MonkeyIsland auf seltsamen Geräten laufen, die nie dafür gedacht waren und ich markiere dabei den @Hoaxmaster , ob es ihn intetessiert oder nicht“ sehen sie heute:

    Monkey Island auf einem iMac G3

    Bissige 233MHZ, auf 256MB RAM hochgezüchtet, mit einer sich wild drehenden 80GB HDD.

    Ein ungezähmtes Biest für Monkey Island!

  3. Seemannsgarn und Pixelbrei: Monkey Island (wieder) im Theater

    Mein Name ist Guybrush Threepwood, und ich will Pirat werden. Diesen Satz kennen und lieben Computerspieler seit 1990. Und auch im Theater ist er bald zu hören: Am 16. April wird der Klassiker in Halle in einem Theater aufgeführt. Steffen Anton hat sich das Stück bereits 2015 angesehen und war hellauf begeistert.

  5. Hab' heute Nacht mal wieder 'n bisschen in Monkey Island weitergespielt. So gern ich die 16-Farben EGA Fassung mag, aber die 256 Farben der VGA Version sind ebenfalls einfach wunderschöne Pixellkunst! 😍

  6. Aus "The Secret of Monkey Island"... Kann es sein, dass das eine Anspielung auf die Adventures von Sierra war? In Space Quest bin ich, wie ich mich erinnern kann, auch ziemlich oft gestorben. Und das sah dann immer ähnlich aus! 😉

  7. Nanu, was machen denn Guybrush Threepwood und Stan im Hafen von Stralsund vor der Gorch Fock? Da hat natürlich der @video_play Schuld! 😄

    Danke dir, lieber Jürgen. 👍

  8. Pro-Tipp für Fans von Monkey Island:

    Installiert ihr euch das Spiel in einer echten DOS-Umgebung oder einem PC-Emulator, denkt immer daran, die neueste Version der MONKEY.EXE zu verwenden. Interpreter Version 5.0.19 deaktiviert, ganz offiziell und ohne jeden Crack, den Kopierschutz und startet direkt in das Spiel. Außerdem wurden nebenbei auch noch ein Haufen Fehler und Abstürze behoben. 😉

  9. I just noticed and cleaned up some overlooked garbage data from multiple "Monkey Island EGA" diskettes I had uploaded to the Internet Archive over a year ago. I apologize for messing this up... all the affected disks were just re-uploaded.

    Have fun.. and - again: Merry Christmas!

  10. Small update on my #Thinkpad 755C. I put in a 4GB CF-Disk (8GB isn't supported by the BIOS) and installed #MSDOS 6.22 with #Windows311 on one partition and #Windows95 on a second partition.
    It was a bit painful to find all necessary drivers, and the #DOS driver for the soundcard is almost unusable - mostly distorted and when speech is output, the laptop freezes. The Windows 95 drivers are better, but I haven't gotten the DOS games to use them, yet.
    Also, some games like #Albion or #TheSettlers don't like the Western Digital graphics card.
    But a lot of the old games I liked work fine, like #MightAndMagic 4/5 and #IndianaJones 3 and 4. It's more a nostalgia project, I know the games work better using DOSBox or Wine.

  11. Experience the DOS floppy disk version introduction of Monkey Island 1 on real Roland MT-32 hardware. The Secret of Monkey Island is a classic point and click adventure game by Lucas Arts.

  12. You can find a whole lot of huge zip files containing wagonloads of #RTTTL #ringtones in the form of text files. There's some baby songs, but the vast majority it's stuff you would have had as ringtone at that time. That's why one of the songs I chose is #moonlightshadow 🪩
    That's SO 80s!
    Also, I couldn't miss #supermario and #monkeyisland themes.

  13. The unique genre of point -and-click games was a dominant contender in the industry, especially during the 1990s. Here is our list of the best in the world, in no particular order.

  14. Mission accomplished - even though I obviously printed it in the wrong color! :D

    And don't worry about my soldering skills - I was too lazy to get my glasses, but it works! :D

    The specific version I have installed, is the WP32 McCake WaveTable board, mounted on a PicoGUS ISA card.

  15. Can't believe I'm saying this, but the #Commodore 386-SX16 seems rock solid in comparison to the super flaky #aptiva.

    Slow as hell, partially incompatible graphics but with a spiffy new #SoundBlaster compatible ISA card. This is the perfect rig for early #Sierra and #LucasArts games. Maybe I should get a #MT32-Pi #McCake WaveTable board for it, or maybe that's a little overkill.

  16. After an issue with an original disk error last week, we decided to go with the #Gotek.
    The #CDTV is ideal for this, because it doesn't require a hardware mod for the external Gotek. Time for some #MonkeyIsland.
    #Commodore #Amiga #RetroGaming #RetroComputing

  17. #vintagecomputing #MSDOS build progressing. #Pentium 200 with #TsengLabs #ET6000 graphics, CF for storage, #Gotek for floppies and a #PicoGUS with the #McCake #WP32 #MT32Pi wave table add on. Output looped into a #SoundBlaster Vibra 16C for full Gravis Ultrasound, Sound Blaster, Roland and General Midi support. Excellent for all things DOS. Aiming for early to mid 90s games and demos, including point and click adventures from #Sierra and Lucas as well as some of the excellent demos from that time. I'm talking #MonkeyIsland, #LeisureSuitLarry and #FutureCrew and their #SecondReality demo. Tested the latter and got something in my eye. Oh the feels.

  18. A friend of my be gifted me a #Commodore 386SX-16 system with a #PC50 III motherboard. It's been en a long time since I've messed with vintage PCs outside of the #MiSTer FPGA so this was an interesting hands-on project that brought a lot of lessons.

    First of all, if you're only going to run #MSDOS on it, it's actually a decent machine. I've always been more of a tools and development guy than a gamer, meaning more Norton Utilities and Borland C and a little less Civilization and Defender of the Crown. I did enjoy shooters like #Wolfenstein3D, dungeon crawlers like #EyeOfTheBeholder and #LucasArts adventures like #MonkeyIsland, #ManiacMansion and #ZakMcKracken.

    Anyway, I digress. The machine was heavily yellowed on the outside but near spotless on the inside. Featuring a 1.44MB floppy drive, 4MB RAM and a 40MB Seagate HDD, this thing could potentially run most of the apps I grew up using. Now if I could only expand the storage options a bit.. 😜
