GrE writes, "So, you say you've been captured by your number one fan, sold to a mad scientist who wants to experiment on you, only to be saved by a angry mob whose main goal is to serve you a summons to pirate court? It's no big deal, really. Nothing you can't solve with the help of a magnetic cat, a glass eye, and a lamp straight out of "A Christmas Story." Thankfully, all those things (and more) are to be found along the byways of Flotsam Island, and you, as Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate, have the skills and knowledge to do it, too..."
Character Evolution - Guybrush Threepwood
.... he was just so great in Monkey Island 1 and 2, design-wise.
... and then they went all cartoony with him for MI3, they went cartoony 3D with him in MI4, and they went butt-ugly redrawn sprite for the remakes of 1 and 2. Sadly.
There's some fan-art out there which shows how Guybrush SHOULD look when you do a HD-remake, which sticks true to the original design of the character while still looking great for todays' gamers.
Guybrush is such a brilliant character, but he hasn't been done justice by Lucasarts since Monkey Island 2. Sadly.
I like the how the remakes look. You can't possibly expect there to be a definitive 'remade Threepwood' when the first ones came out in early 90's. You could hardly tell certain pixels apart back then.
For all of you folks out there who are gaming on a budget, here are some sweet deals to take advantage of. It’s not every day that you get to play free video games, but here are several offers that will allow you to do just that.
Get some classic point and click action for super cheap thanks to pirates and silly sales.
This looks like more of the same, but that is not a bad thing
Nice! I like that it's getting a bit darker. Finally.
That name is just too freaking long...
I love the way that this series is continuing, and I love that they're keeping up the quality. Bravo!
Threepwood? Where the hell did that name come from?
