Well what's the point in anything in life. We'll all die at some point.

Dying seems a good point!
But what I meant was that all the Monkey Islands work perfectly using ScummVM, and it'd be pretty hard for anyone to beat the quality of the music in the games, or the art in 2 and 3, or the humour. While it might serve as an interesting programming exercise (although again, ultimately pointless), there's no real reason to remake the Monkey Islands. Someone was working on a demake for MI3 in MI2 art style (which I definitely prefer), but again, they can't REALLY hit the same level of quality as the original MI2. I suppose someone could attempt to do a remake of 1 using the art style of 2, but that seems like an awful lot of effort for something that again, will probably never reach the same level of quality as what you're trying to emulate, and you won't ever really be able to call your own.

Should I shorten it or just throw it out altogether? Because at the moment my game is severly lacking in the puzzle department.

Perhaps you can shorten it. The main issue I had was that it seemed convoluted and there seemed a lot like something you'd have to be you to know how to do it (and there'd be easier ways to do it anyhow). Like why doesn't the player just pour the drink on to the fusebox? Or stick in the coin he was going to use to buy the drink? Or spit in it or something?

That seems reasonable. I'll rethink it a wee bit and make it a less round about ride that ultimatly is just pouring piss on a fuse box to make it work.

A couple of questions on my mind.
1)Has anyone ever remade Monkey Island in AGS?
2)Is my idea for a puzzle a good idea or is it a load of poo and wank?
1)Door is locked (Door in this case being one of those slidy down grille things in front of closed shops that are usually covered in grafitti.)
2)See fuse box. Harold (Demonic sidekick) suggests shorting it out some way.
3)Empty bottle lying about somewhere. Player should tell Harold to fill it with his urine. Harold doesn't need to urinate at the minute.
4)Suggests going to bar.
5)Get beer. Barman may or may not ask for favor (Haven't decided if the player should have money yet at this stage)
6)If you have the beer you can't take the glass outside.
7)Give beer to Harold. Harold drinks beer and needs to wee. Wees into empty bottle.
8)Poor beer onto fusebox. Door opens. cheers all around.

Is this a good idea? Can I refine or improve upon this in any way shape or form?
