The Monkey Island SCUMM Bar: Man, a new poll?

After the roaring success of our Insult Swordfighting Game we're looking at adding some new games. This time, you get to decide which one we will do next in a new poll that asks: What web-based games would you like to see on TSB? Make your voice heard.

Our last poll asked "If you could play an additional character in Monkey Island 5, who would it be?" Looks like most people prefer Guybrush:

Guybrush only: 42%
LeChuck: 20%
Elaine: 18%
Timmy: 13%
Wally: 7%

Im new hear but i am a HUGE Monkey Island Fan. I say LeChuck Rocks and should be givin an eviler role in Monkey Island 5 because Elaine is married and worth nothing now. so I say we should be able to play a LeChuck! Thank you.

Ha! That's completely wrong, balert! Elaine is married, so she's worth DOUBLE now! Triple if she's a MILF. You want something more evil than stealing a perfectly happilly married mother just to give her a miserable life in return? Thar's nuthin' like it matey! Nuthin' I say! Rwahahahahaha!!!! I shall carry her head on a pike as I ROLL through the gates of Heck!

By the way, welcome to the SCUMM Bar. The next round's on me, RemiO.

PS: I also voted LeChuck.

I dont mean to be a crtic (you will get a lot of coments every wear) but LeChuck is stupid and needs to get smarter if he wishes to steal Elaine. he needs to look eviler and needs to be a ghost. like i said, we should be able to play as LeChuck. ah wait maybe there could be a selection of who you can play as! your next vote after the game one should be that!!!

i dont see any reason why you'd want to play as anyone else. I mean it worked in Broken Sword, but theyre already changing the MI series too much for the "console generation" and if anything they should go back to the bare basics of the game.

I really don't remember them changing anything in the past MI games for the "console generation". [shifty eye that I can't do on my laptop keyboard]

i was referring to the stupid changes theyve started to make, ala 3D graphics, no mouse etc

Posted Feb 01, 2004

That was the same as Grim Fandango which wasn't released for any consoles.

Posted Feb 01, 2004

Grim Fandango was an original though. You couldnt ruin the GF series cos there wasnt one. If there were prequels that had been in 2d u wouldnt like them nearly as much because of the change.

so quiet you

False.
Now be quiet.

As to the new poll, everyone knows that ship combat was the best part of CMI. That is, if The Scumm Bar adds insult swordfighting to the game.
