Amiga Monkey Island ?

[Vazkulator]

is this the same monkey island for old Amigas ?

It is the same series, but a new game with a new story.

It's the same series... not the same game.

These are the remakes of the originals:

thatd be cool to relive some of the old nostalgia from some of the old games but idk if ill buy any of these, it was never one of my fav games by a long shot but still good to see not all games became forgotten regardless

Both are pretty great.
And the art style (old and new) seems to better than that the new game will feature. :(

The remakes come with a pretty good hints system as well as the redone cartoon style graphics (which, as someone already mentioned, can be switched off if you prefer the old pixel art).

If you're worried about getting stuck but don't like just blindly following walkthroughs, you should enjoy them.

If you've only ever played the old Amiga games, you've missed a lot of Monkey Island. Only the first two games were released on the Amiga. Since then there's been Monkey Island 3 (Curse of Monkey Island), 4 (Escape from Monkey Island) and 5 (Tales of Monkey Island). This is the 6th game in the series!

They haven't missed a lot as Ron Gilbert wasn't involved with those, but he is with RTMI, so this is the true sequel.

What does who was involved with a game have to do with whether it's a "true sequel" or not? That's like saying Aliens isn't a true sequel to Alien because it wasn't directed by Ridley Scott. Anyway, other people from the original team worked on all five of them, so there's hardly a lack of continuity.

Gilbert has even said that he considers all the games of the series to be canon. Return also incorporates elements from later games, like Murray.

Terminator 3 would have been a better analogy.
Those other Monkey Island games pale in comparison to the original two.

OP, if your are quick you can still get the golden horse armor!

Curse of Monkey Island is really good!

Although I’ll grant you, the less said about Escape from Monkey Island the better…
