Cool indeed. I think MI caught the spirit of gameplay for me, alongside iconic titles like Elite and Civ.

Pirates of the Caribbean had a similar spirit.

I'll likely be handing over cash for this version. If the new game has the same banter and half decent puzzles, it'll be a winner, for me. Something to get my daughter to play with me if she has the patience of walking about the place!

The film? Did you see the (at least one) Monkey Island reference in it?

Yep. I see the Disney ride was used as inspiration for the game.

Makes sense that they are suspiciously similar!

>reference "Captain Jack Sparrow at one point used a coffin as a rowboat, just like Guybrush did. The movie and the game both featured a Caribbean voodoo lady who lived in a swamp. " https://www.ocweekly.com/10-things-you-did-not-know-about-mo...

Definitely recall the coffin reference. Pleasing to see.

Plus, the little boy on the dock fishing at the start of (I think) one of the films.
