I guess Sept 2nd is as close to an anniversary we have for Monkey Island. I made the gold master on the 2nd but it probably didn't appear in stores until Oct. There was no "release date" back them. It annoys we when people say Monkey Island "released" today.

@grumpygamer Where can I find that “Money Island”? 🤡

@metin @grumpygamer now I have a weird "Kopfkino" (lit. "head cinema" / visualization) where Le Chuck has banished Guybrush into the future. He's asking around for treasures and gold and gets introduced into money and crypto coins through some crypto bros who claim to know exactly where "Money Island" is. A whole game as a parody on crypto coins, NFTs and modern scams. (Maybe Guybrush could even be inventor of these stupid monkey NFTs in this reality? :D)

@T_X @metin @grumpygamer NFTs would be something that I see Stan the previously owned vessels Salesman dabble in...

@SalemsLot @T_X @grumpygamer I’m sure Ron will double-check that damn autocorrect next time he posts. 😉

@metin @T_X @grumpygamer Please no, this is gold for a hypothetical Monkey Island Followup. Even if it stays a shared dream, i expect nothing good from Disney.

@SalemsLot @metin @grumpygamer I'm not a lawyer but would assume that Disney has no IP on Money Island and Mr. Buyposh Dipgood. Or the SCAAM (script creation AI assisted money) engine.
And the "argh!" of a classic pirate is toootally different from an "argh!" of a looting scammer. Or of swashbuckling trader who realizes they lost it all during the "Big Whoopsie" crash.
And think of all the fun inventory hodling of actually worthless coins and NFTs one would do in this.
