Yes, it's that time of the year again. Another new The SCUMM Bar design update, which should be more familiar to our longtime readers. We're still waiting for some custom graphics, and some other smaller changes are pending. Those will be put off for a bit because of some time constraints. Read on to discover what's new.We have added a lot of new content, as you will see when browsing through the different sections. One of the bigger changes is that the media section has been incorporated with the Games section. Click on any of the games, and you'll have it all, plus quite a bit more, for your disposal.
You may also notice that we've gotten rid of e-mail address displays as much as possible, and that we're now using more of a "Mojo Messenger"-ish solution. The difference here is that the form is actually just an e-mail submitter, but if it helps kill a bit of spam, we're all for it.
There are a lot more changes too, but we'll let you find them yourself. Also, see how many easter-eggs you can find, there's a lot of them. We hope you enjoy the new-ish site.

To answer a question which I know will come up: Why did we make these changes before we had all the material we needed? Because of circumstances outside our control, it will take a while before we get it. The other minor changes will be updated as I get time to do them. This is pretty close to complete though, and we needed to update the database back-end, as we'd outgrown the older one.
Besides, a critic of the old design, who may or may not be connected to Mojo (

It used to say "The Monkey Island SCUMM Bar", which looked nice until it was shrunk down. The font might change at a later time.

So, anyway, thanks for all feedback here, and on MSN/ICQ/#monkey-island and everything. And special thanks to Jake for fixing up the logo for the Mojo theme. We've added a special easter-egg in his honor.

Hey RemiO, I didn't mean anything mean, I was just curious. The site looks great.

Oh, I didn't take any offense. The 'shut it scouser' was directed to Skyfox. (in a good way... of course...)
