256 colors and CD-ROM Red Book music. Icon inventory akin to Monkey Island 2 added. Stan’s shipyard has music, and previously quiet locations have sound ambiance. Stump joke was removed. There are also some smaller bugs with the Mêlée clock, cannibal dialogue, etc., which were later fixed in ScummVM. Have a look at some other, weirder differences.

Additionally, the drowning scene has been removed—wait ten minutes and Guybrush will automatically climb up to the dock. The Sierra screen after falling down the cliff was removed, as were the codas showing the fates of Stan and Guybrush’s crew. | ||
