Many apologies for the lack of update recently.. I have lots of stuff to add like CMI MP3s, Fan Art and Quizes! But I`m sure you have all at one point in your lives had a game that has you hooked. So much so that hours would pass by without you realising it! That game for me at the moment is Birth of the Federation. Once again... sorry, and beware of Borg!
SCUMM Revisited 2.0.11
Version 2.0.11 of SCUMM Revisited has been released. As I`m sure you know... this program is used to rip almost anything from most LEC adventure games. Thanks to Odin for the news.

Not Monkey Island related.. but important. Tommorrow, the 6th June is the date set for the European Telecommunications Boycott. This is an attempt to let the companies know that phone call prices for being on the Net are far to high for some of us. Make sure they know this by not using the Net for the entire day! Thanks to Huz for the reminder!
Monkey Island Fan Music
Here is a treat for you all... some excellent fan music heavily influenced by Monkey Island. You will require WinAmp to here these MP3 files.
The Residence of Guybrush
Remember The Residence of Guybrush? It was probably one of the first Monkey Island sites to appear after CMI was announced. Well it's back with lots of extras and at a new address, Check it out!
