Ahhh these controls!!!
This is the only Monkey Island game I haven't played and I just can't get into it because of the terrible controls.

Those early 3D games (this one actually looks decent considering the time period) really were working out all the kinks, hey.

Haha I started with this one, so I'm used to the controls. In fact this is still my favorite game in the series

If you go into the game options, you can change the analog controls from ‘character-relative’ to ‘camera-relative’. It’s 10x better.

hi does anyone know how to change the controls and save/load games?

F1 will get you to the menu where you can save/load, get to options, etc.

BONUS TIP FOR FIXING TANK CONTROLS: Edit
-Use a controller (xbox360 one worked for me).
-Make sure it's recognised by steam (Steam => Settings => Controller)
-Launch the game and go to the ingame options.
-Change "Movement Mode" to "Camera-Relative".
This way your character will move in the direction of your stick, so no more resident evil tank controls.
Don't forget to Configure the keys (also in options) so the D-pad on your controlller cycles objects up and down. This makes it easier to select what you want ingame.

Maybe weird to some but I play it with my thrustmaster joystick. Too bad the keybind menu does not recognise the buttons but the standard set upis self explanatory and works quite well.

I know everything boils down to personal preference, but I really don't understand what is so hard to grasp with the controls. They're just tank controls, lots of games used them. :boomer:
