I might have to install the game later on, and rip the sprite directly from the game if I have to.

yeah i cant find any avatars for anything i want :\ i saw a REALLY cool Guybrush one ONCE, it was him from the spitting contest, but size limitations wouldn't make it acceptable, it did look awsome though
but Murray is an awsome characterl, and i feel my avatar isn't doing him justice
edit: well Infernal Monkey cleaned up mine so now its not a pixleated mess, but hey i wont turn down a funky animated one
, now i just gotta get some cool Murray quotes for my sig..

These are the 103, 104, 105, and 106 shots. It's kind of crappy, but it is an animated Murray avatar. (and it's under 5k)get it here
Anyways, I really have to thank you for getting me to install the game. It's been a while since I have played it, and I am having a great time. Murray cracked me up as usual.

Thanks, I never played any of them though, obviously since I didn't know. Is the PS2 one any good?

You know, that's what I thought too when I tried to play it a while back. The FMV would freeze the game every time I went to play. But... it's working perfectly right now. Must have been the service pack I went through great trouble to install. MS kind of made it... difficult for people like me with the new service pack. For the first time, I feel like it was actually worth the trouble to install the blasted thing. I am trying to play through the game right now, and I am STUCK beyond reason right now, so I am giving it a breather. I have never finished Monkey Island 2, 3, or 4 yet, as my save files always seemed to get lost somewhere, and I was having compatability problems with #3 a while back, and I wanted to play it before 4.
Anyways, I am glad that you like the avatar.

its stinky, i should try now i have XP pro... or i should get the serivce pack (speaking of which how do i do that? )
Post by: Grey Ninja on June 09, 2003, 06:57:07 PM
The service pack can be downloaded from Windows Update, IF you have the right stuff. There's a better way of doing it though if you are in the same boat as me. If you are, PM me, and I will help you out. But I can't do anything more tonight, as the computer lab is closing, and I don't feel like walking all the way down the hill to the 24 hour one right now.

*Gets some more script errors and freezing*
Oh well, nevermind
Is it worthwhile upgrading to XP? I got a cracked copy like, July last year, but I'm too lazy to format and crap
(Sorry to throw this thread way off topic PIAC
)

If the PC ones don't work on XP then I will have to go with PS2 version as both my desktop and laptop run on XP.

Go there for instruction on how to create a bootable Windows XP SP1 CD. Mind you, if your serial starts with the letters FCKGX (or something like that), you will not be able to install Service Pack 1. However, I have "heard" that there is a Windows XP CD Key Generator floating around on Kazaa that will be able to generate a valid Windows XP Corporate edition serial, that will not require product activation, and will work with Service Pack 1.

And besides, the PS2 version is Monkey Island 4, and it's Monkey Island 3 that had problems with Windows XP. IMO, the game is a very PC style game, and a console cannot do it justice. (Like the NES version of Maniac Mansion)

Thanks for the head's up Grey, but that just seems like to much work for me to do play a game.

Anyways, if you don't want a bootable Windows XP SP1 CD (I did), then you can just change your CD Key via a CD Key changer, which can be found in a multitude of places. Boom. Done.

Although, I must say that I agree with the guy who left who made the serie or something, who said that Lucas Arts screwed up the serie after second one(he made the second one too btw) by letting Guybrush(awesome name, one of the best in any game, Guybrush Treepwood) and Elaine get married. He Also said Herman should have never gotten of the island, which I also agree. Damn you LucasArts! You better not mess up 5! And make more Point 'n Click games!
Post by: PIAC on October 07, 2003, 10:27:28 AM
yeah ron gilbert left, there is a deffinate shift in style between 2 and 3, personally i love all 4, but 1 and 2 are my favorite, COINCIENCE? DID I EVEN SPELL THAT RIGHT? MORE RANDOM WORDS FOLLOWED BY QUESTION MARKS? OH NOE TIME FOR WORK?
