/vr/ - Retro Games

I recently played through the PS2 version of Escape from Monkey Island, mainly because it was one of my favorite childhood games and because I wanted to compare it to the PC version. The PS2 version is inferior in basically every respect, (go figure) but all things considered it was a pretty decent port and served well as an introduction for console players to both the series and the genre.

It was nice to go through it again after all these years.

Had been putting another playthrough of pic related off for a while with the purpose of taking notes on art design. Decided to try to beat it on PS2 for the first time since I’ve played through it on PC many times before.

Some of the little differences are kind of grating, but after getting over it I’m definitely enjoying myself as much as I had expected. Fucking love this game.
