@bitmapbooks Just ordered it - SO looking forward to reading it! 🙂❤️ Especially anything related to the early Lucas games like #ManiacMansion, #ZakMcKracken and #MonkeyIsland. Love those games.

There is a REAL SCUMM Monkey Island port coming for the C64, but there already was a proof of concept a couple of years ago, that never saw the light of day. But you can try it out now:

Took a moment and fixed the issue with my crashing #Pentium 200MMX system. Now the #PicoGUS with #WP32 #McCake wavetable if running #MonkeyIsland they way it's supposed to run :-) There's also a #Vibra16 card in there, which is unused for this game.
The issue? #IRQ, obviously. The introduction of a SATA controller meant that IRQ 5 previously used by the PicoGUS was grabbed by the controller and the system died with playing audio.
Nice to know the tech skills of the #90s are still there.
And sorry about the video quality - I got all excited and didn't care.

Blew me emotionaly a bit out of my rails.
Games back then didn't change after release. Monkey Island 1 and 2 are still the same games when i load them today. The essay gives more context to the games, plus thoughts from Ron Gilbert. I feel pretty old now and wish i could watch myself with uh. 13 years, playing this game, feeling the feelings the first time again. Probably i was a fool back then, but we all are at the start.

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.. 😜

#RonGilbert ha dovuto chiudere la sezione commenti del suo blog, e per colpa degli #haters non avremo più informazioni sul nuovo #MonkeyIsland. Ci siamo passati, ecco perché tra chiusura dei commenti, della pagina e il #banhammer libero scegliamo il terzo
