The Monkey Island SCUMM Bar: The Secret of Creating Monkey Island

In the spirit of The Summer of Retro^TM we present an interview from the very first LucasArts Adventurer - The Secret of Creating Monkey Island - An Interview With Ron Gilbert.

So we added a shipwrecked character on the island, and that gives you somebody to talk with. And as you piece together the story of what's been happening on Monkey Island, you discover that he's a very important part of that story.

He probably didn't realize how important the character would be in Escape from Monkey Island. :~ Read it all here.

Well it was I think. I definately read it online at some point, ages ago.

Hey Remi, remember many months ago when I gave The SCUMM Bar some scans of MI1 concept art from Adventurer #1, taken from an interview with Ron Gilbert? And you said you didn't have the interview, so you told me to scan the whole thing instead, and I did?

This is that interview. You could have saved me the trouble and just uploaded this... ;
