The Monkey Island SCUMM Bar: Well bugger me

NoMan has discovered an interesting bug in Escape from Monkey Island:

"While playing on Monkey Island, near the lava pit, the game slowed down more than usual. My solution was to load the game I had recently saved. Upon my attempt to load the game, I got the error message ... I used print-screen to capture the rare image, quit the game, rebooted, and then everything was fine."

Odd things indeed! You can see the proof here, in our trivia section.

I just woke up and looked at this and then spent several seconds trying to close it by clicking ok...

It's real, don't worry. I received this during the ending credits a while back, I'm pretty sure I was screwing with saved games then too.

Yeah, a lot of people have reported similar errors.

It's true, you can look up the text in monkey4.exe if you want.

This happened to me too!!!! I think the lack of memory is the problem. After I save more than 16 times it happens! I hope they're gonna make a patch!

Yay for bugs! Wait.. No yay for bugs... What the heck am I sposta say?

On a off topic note: After staring at the background of this very site I noticed that one of the clouds looks like a half duck half chicken creatures head. I have too much time on my hands.

Looks more like a snail to me. ;

I had the same problem but the slowdown occured each time I get in Monkey Kombat... Very annoying.

I don't think that should be in bugs. That can happen anywhere. I just happens when you run out of mem. or something. That happened to me loads at Ozzie Mandril's.
