Mojo becomes an LRG-exclusive news source as “Return to Monkey Island” goes LRG 10 Jan, 2023 / 10 comments

I mean, we knew it was gonna happen, right? Return to Monkey Island in a glorious, limited box.

$89; $60 for an anthology “upgrade kit.” What do you get? We’re talking LeChuck’s onboarding pamphlet; a letter from Ron and Dave (presumably the ingame one); the scrapbook; a blowfish stress ball; the Chum lure pin; a platform specific golden key (just so you can buy five copies); a poster; booklet. And what do you know—a soundtrack!

This is what second mortgages are made of.

    To be honest, I am thankful that its finally happening. But I also would like to have at least a paper printed map, or some sort of code wheel. You know the one LeChuck plays with right at the end of the game.

    I guess I will still buy it as this will most probably be the only chance to buy a physical box of this game. And it is an original and not a rerelease.

    I'm holding out for a working voodoo doll.



    You would need to check at ETSY then in the future.

    I thought I'd totally leap at this and be among the first 100 pre-orders. But ... I mean, I've studied the offer for 10 minutes now and inflation has probably risen by another 2% in that time. It's the watched pot thing. I can't afford to buy anything this pricey. And I don't care how sour these grapes are, the feelies are really not that inventive.

    The blowfish in all its probable two inch glory is cool and all, but a redrawn cloth map or an apology frog, that would have been the thing.



    Well, I guess we need to make a redrawn cloth map or an apology frog by ourselves then.

    It's a shame that the Anthology upgrade doesn't also include the same goodies as the Return collector''s edition. I'd settle for just the soundtrack, but as it is it seems like you're just paying for a slip cover and the game.

    The whole thing about each version having a different key is a little cheap

    The thing that bothers me a bit is that with the included soundtrack quite likely being just a 1-CD affair, the chance for a full soundtrack release (especially as a multi-CD set) shrinks to near-zero.
