    That´s easy. ;)
    Don´t tryed it, but I know (tested it) that you can get infinite pieces of eight.

    Could you embed the video in future media-related news?

    Example:

    Personally I prefer not to embed videos directly in my news posts because it tends to slow the site loading down if several of them are on the front page at the same time.

    Post it after the cut.

    I was trying to think of a way to say this exactly, but it was expressed much better and more succinctly by the Remi ;

    Like everything in life is. ;-*

    I wouldn't have though you could get stuck in MI2, unless you were foolish enough to waste all your money gambling.
  • Maratanos on 04 Jun, 2008, 03:09…
    Yeah. You can also lose in monkey islands one and two by running out of money before you've bought everything you need.

    You can dead end on the ship in Monkey Island 1 too, I have a save game but not a video. You can put every item that you can burn in the fire into the cooking pot and run out of things to burn so you can never fire the cannon.

    Not true. Guybrush won't put the map to the Melee Island treasure into the cooking pot "I paid good money for this, I'll hang onto it," but he will put it in the fire, "On the other hand, they're only dancing lessons."
  • Metallus on 04 Jun, 2008, 16:55…
    From how this setup was described to me, I think it's possible to not buy the map from the guy in the first place.
  • Udvarnoky on 04 Jun, 2008, 17:44…
    Guybrush won't go any further into the woods than the screen with the yellow flowers without the map. Unless there's some other way to bypass this that I'm not aware of.

    I never buy the map. When you get the shopkeeper to lead you to Carla's, after that you can roam around the forest as much as you want to.

    Boom, I've been pwned.

    Refresh my memory, please, - how does this exploit cause an unwinnable scenario?

  • Kroms on 03 Jun, 2008, 23:44…
    No spit = can't turn off LeChuck's fire.
  • Kroms on 03 Jun, 2008, 22:57…
    Isn't this for the old version, though?
  • NatsFan on 03 Jun, 2008, 22:20…
    I'm pretty sure that it's also possible to get stuck if you don't pick up the parrot chow on Dread's ship, but I'm not positive.
  • Udvarnoky on 03 Jun, 2008, 22:24…
    You need the parrot chow to get the mirror, which necessary for map piece #3. The game let's you return to that screen on the exterior of Dread's ship with the parrot chow until you pick it up.

    Really awesome, I want a copy of the save game
