I remember trying to record the music of this onto a cassette so I could play it in my bedroom. I took the game box and all the paperwork with me to school when I was a fourth grader. I would pour over it looking for hints. Even now, as I play other games, my point-and-click background comes back and I want to explore/pick up everything I can. :)
2:01:25 I love how it doesn't play the usual map music here, it immediately gives you the thought "wait, something's not right" before you realize what's happened next. I don't know if it was a bug or if the developers did this deliberately, but it works so well.
I'm so happy that I have somehow avoided this ending until today. In the year 2001 I completed MI4, then in 2006 - MI 1 and began playing MI 2, but somehow never finished it, completed about 80% of it. In 2010 - the Tales of Monkey Island and then finally in 2013 I caught up on Monkey Island 3 - also completed it. Today I watched an interview with Ron Gilbert where he goes on about this ending. It's simply amazing that I had avoided this fourth-wall-breaking ending that could spoil it all for me.
Three years late, but breaking the 4th wall isn't exclusive to the end of MI2. The "never pay more than 20 bucks for a computer game" in MI1 comes to mind. I can't think of other examples right now, but my impression is the 4th wall is no secret to the MI universe. That said, the ending seems kind of cheap and I dream of a Monkey Island 3b from Gilbert himself, to put things straight.
So, sometime in between the completely nonsensical ending of this game and the beginning of Monkey Island 3. Guybrush managed to break out of LeChuck's curse. Escape Big Whoop and end up lost at sea in a dodgem car. Were the writers high when they wrote this?
So Guybrush must have changed his undies at some point between 10:20 and 1:07:36 ? Maybe those nice boxers came with his costume? Which begs the question, Did he change back into his tightie whities in the woods? :)
Yeah same, I was kinda disappointed, but after realizing that it is a spell casted on Guybrush from LeChuck, it makes more sense. LeChuck was defeated, with a ripped off arm and leg, so he asks Guybrush to come closer and that is the moment he manages to cast a spell on Guybrush, withouth him realizing. It is understandable by the lighthings coming out of little Chuck and also by Elaine after the ending credits. Anyway, a masterpiece, this game is epic in so many ways, every single scene is a pleasure and a work of art.
can someone PLEASE!!! HELP ME with the puzzle at 51:00 the hands thing.... it's really confusing and i really want to get past it.... it seems like he keeps changing it and there's no pattern is there a METHOD TO THE MADNESS HELP!!!!!!!!!
@kylekadduide He shows you two hand signs. The answer is whatever he holds up the first time. So if he says, 'if this is one' *holds up five fingers* 'then what's this?' whatever number of fingers he holds up, it's five. Watch the video here with that in mind and you'll see.
2:10:14 "Who won the world series in '56?" "Chicago" That's the fucking best gag in Monkey Island (in Italy it runs "Who won the '82 world footbal cup?" "Italy" :P)
I don't get it. The NYY won the 1956 World Series, not Chicago, so it's wrong (Baseball). Italy did win the world cup in 1982, so it's correct. What's the joke here? Or just random facts without deeper meaning?
Love this game,and the secret of monkey island...going to buy the special edition which has the 2 games and at the click of a button you can go between the retro version or the updated one...
Actually, Aldwin Panny you may have a point. At 13:10, Guybrush says Cheese Squigglies are his favorite. It also happens that Cheese Squigglies are Putt Putt's and Pajama Sam's favorite too.
At the end...did the mom really say "White slavers"? Are you f**king kidding me? In a kid's game? How about African Slavers? Black Slavers? or Jewish Slavers........
RunaroundStar it's funny to me how triggered you're getting. The joke has obviously flown over your head, so don't think too much about it dumbass #hillyes

@@Dinosword2000 Well, just for you…
@@ChokeslamToHell He must have read this post. :P Looking forward to it!
I am back for the 5th time. What a masterpiece!
I still remember the solution to pretty much every puzzle, despite not having played it in ages.
this Lechuck looks way scarier than the special edition
The fisherman in this game is the equivalent of Nazeem in Skyrim. Punchable.
thank you soooo much for making that! i was stuck for ages!!
Such a great game. I am hoping the SE does this game justice. Great walkthrough. Thanks!

High on Nitrous Oxcide.
:D
He's gone back to the theme park obviously at the start of Monkey Island 3.

That melee island part caught me offguard.....
Forget that ,what the hell was the ending??
I still remember not believing how the game could end like that. Still can't, really.

loved this game - 1:23:29 had me creasing with laughter tho haha
One thing is playing through the adventure, another thing is actually enjoying it
What a crazy ending!
The one with the notoriously creepy ending.
can someone PLEASE!!! HELP ME with the puzzle at 51:00 the hands thing.... it's really confusing and i really want to get past it.... it seems like he keeps changing it and there's no pattern is there a METHOD TO THE MADNESS HELP!!!!!!!!!
Hello mr. Larp Gibson, would you still like to have the solution 10 years later?
@@Wurfenkopf haha - It seems he hasn't replied lol
0:46 This logo makes his first appearance.

Thanks for posting, great video!
this is played out of the FM chip on a soundblaster of some sort right? i love how warm the music feels with these sounds..
best game ever
serious contender anyway
I can tell you birth year +/-4 years from this comment.
10 years!
@basehead617
Sounds like the good old Adlib.
Este juego es genial!!!
2:10:14 "Who won the world series in '56?"
"Chicago"
That's the fucking best gag in Monkey Island
(in Italy it runs "Who won the '82 world footbal cup?" "Italy" :P)
Yep
I'm italian
I don't get it. The NYY won the 1956 World Series, not Chicago, so it's wrong (Baseball). Italy did win the world cup in 1982, so it's correct. What's the joke here? Or just random facts without deeper meaning?
@gman5852 man that is great. I am gonna have to pick it up on Steam now I guess. Thanks!
Love this game,and the secret of monkey island...going to buy the special edition which has the 2 games and at the click of a button you can go between the retro version or the updated one...
@HipHopNobby
What do you mean?
This game is an Humongous Entertainment Beta 2 Game!
How?
FalchionOfEternity Gaming IDK
I wish it was.
LOL

28:21 minute is a little bit DIFFERENT to a Fate of Atlantic Soundtrack (indy4)
The car chase comes to mind
Great video! =)
Thanks for making it.
I'm playing the iPhone's version right now.
@ed0x0r it did it did.
35:34
1:05:52 Way to be a tease game.

I was likely incorrect on this line. As George Lucas put it "White Slavers" refers to Jews i.e. enslavers of White people.
