The Monkey Island SCUMM Bar: Another POTC likeness

Scurvyliver, creator of the Fate of Monkey Island fan-game that was famously cancelled by LucasArts, has noted a Monkey Island/Pirates of the Caribbean comparison "for all the fanboys like myself out there". Make up your own mind on whether you think it's a genuine similarity or just another coincidence by viewing the observation here.

Dude! CMI clearly ripped off PotC!

Totally!

Cant be coincidental, purly a carbon copy! Theres too many similarites between the 2 to say theres no inspiration gathered from the MI games. Not that Im complaining, all points towards another MI movie! ;o)

you guys are nutz. That scene is nothing like cMi.

Well, it doesn't neccesarily mean that the developers of POTC ripped CMI off directly, although it's very very likely that they looked at the game in their research, but it does at least show how simmilar the setting is between the two items. Which leads onto how POTC is very much like an MI movie.

Quick LucasArts, sue! You still have time! Oh wait... There to busy with Star Wars to care..

Likeness Schmikeness.

Not bad, but...where are the CHICKENS?

(In the light of something like this, I could probably pose a similar argument that POTC borrowed from The Incredible Adventures of Jack Flanders, with the purple-bearded ex-pirate Captain Swallow that says "savvy" once or twice, and a hapless protagonist named Jack.)
