I keep forgetting I bought this game. =(

Had fun playing through the first one, for the first time, with the Missus; not sure why I'm never in the mood or keep forgetting about this one.

a Curse remake would actually be kind of offensive.

a version that runs at a higher res, maybe, but that would be all I'd want from it.

That's all I want, is HD and to be able to play it on my Xbox. Hope it happens someday.

The 360 and PS3 versions have finally been patched. The intro and full credits have been reinstated on classic mode and the problems unique to each platform (non-functional iMUSE on 360, and mono sound on PS3) have been remedied. Thanks LucasArts!

Really glad they finally did this, even though it took so long that I just bought the game on Steam instead. :lol

I don't see why a remake of Curse would be bad since the artist has said he'd be happy to work on it.

I agree it still looks nice, but with some TLC it could look even better.

if anything a Curse of Monkey Island unmake would be cool. A pixel-art faux-retro option would be yummy.

Finished it last night.
Man it was full of random puzzles some where great though like

And the ending was mind blowing.

It bundles Monkey Island 1 Special Edition & Monkey Island 2 Special Edition

with several bonuses:

Press release:

New Compilation Includes Two Hit Games And All-New Bonus Content LucasArts, a division of Lucasfilm Entertainment Company Ltd. and Activision today flew their flags of announcement for the Monkey Island™ Special Edition Collection, for the first time ever combining the hit titles The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition and Monkey Island™ 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge ™ into one retail adventure package. As an added bonus, the title will also include never-before-seen bonus content from the LucasArts vault.


The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition faithfully re-imagines the critically-acclaimed classic game (originally released in 1990) for original and new audiences alike with all-new HD graphics, a re-mastered musical score, full voiceover, and an in-depth hint system to help players through the game’s side-splitting puzzles. Purists will also delight in the ability to seamlessly switch between the Special Edition and the Classic versions of the game at any time. Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge expands on the highly successful first title, returning with all of the signature Special Edition features from the first game, plus new enhanced features including direct-control, allowing players to take direct control of Guybrush Threepwood if they choose, and a revamped hint system that highlights objects of interest while playing. The title also includes in-game audio commentary from the game’s original creators Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman, as they share their thoughts and memories about select scenes from the game, both Special and Classic.

Monkey Island Special Edition Collection will also include never-before seen content including environment and character concept art from both the Special Edition versions of both games. Music fans can also tap their toes along to the remastered and re-recorded soundtracks for both games. And most exciting, players will also receive storyboards and concept art from an Industrial Light & Magic exploration of a Monkey Island™ animated movie that was never released.

Rated 12+ by PEGI, Monkey Island Special Edition Collection will release on 9th September in Europe for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC.

I launched the game today (360) and got prompted with an update.

Now it's reverted to being a demo, and I have to pay to unlock the game I already paid.

Wut? Is that common? I'll delete the game and download it again.
