The Secret Of Monkey Island: Special Edition!

Gribbler · Sat 29/06/2013 00:51:40

Yes and no

This is of course The Secret of Monkey Island but not special edition. This screenshot comes from the very back cover of SoMI first edition from 1990

But you're up next, of course.

Dammit, I knew that close-up got cut from the original so I was trying to be clever.

Ben X · Sat 29/06/2013 09:52:45

Okay, probably an easy one but you also have to name the connection to the previous one:

Is it Freddy Pharkist (or whatever his name should be spelled)?

Gribbler · Sat 29/06/2013 23:17:02

No no, it looks too good to be Freddy Pharkas. I dunno, some Fenimore Fillmore maybe?

Ben X · Sat 29/06/2013 23:19:42

Huh, thought you guys would nail this immediately.

Hint: the connection is to the specific shot Gribbler chose, not the game as a whole.

Three skulls of the Toltecs?

It's toonstruck 2. But I'm not sure what the connection is. I've never actually played this but I've seen the screen shot before when I googled the old toonstruck looking for some music from that game. According to the Wikipedia entry for toonstruck there was additional material made but not included in the first game, and it has been or will be released in a second game.

Surplusguy · Sun 30/06/2013 04:49:40

It was never released. There are still some plans to do so, but none have followed through yet.

Yep, this is the link - both screens cut from the game in question. That cut Toonstruck stuff was originally all going to be in the first game, right? Then they cut it due to time/budget issues with the intention of making a second game out of it but never did

Your go, monkey!

I spot a moustache, is it Gabriel Knight 3?

Parrot Sketch The Game

monkey424 · Sun 30/06/2013 21:54:02

bbX1138 - no

and Gribbler - no

I'll give you a clue.. it's a fake moustache!

Sherlock Holmes The Case of Rose Tattoo?

monkey424 · Mon 01/07/2013 09:54:14

Correct. Good work Gribbler. You certainly know your stuff. And i must agree, Sherlock (in disguise) does look a lot like John Cleese in this sketch.. scene.

Gribbler · Mon 01/07/2013 11:24:43

Clever screenshot from a Holmes game and with a Holmes character but looking totally different. Here's next one:

Gribbler · Tue 02/07/2013 14:06:45

I kind of cheated with my pic. It's more of an art from the game than actual screenshot. Here's a proper screenshot of this character from the game's cutscene.

Hint: this creature is called... Gribbler.

It comes from a very well known adventure game with female protagonist.
