More EMI Box Art 27 Oct, 2000 / Comments: 2


As if there wasn't enough EMI news! Andy Mishler has informed us that the Amazon.com EMI screenshot section has updated with what appears to be either the back of the EMI box or possibly an inside front cover flap. The image depicts Guybrush doing some sort of kung fu action stance, proclaiming "Now in Srurvy Inducing 3D!" below his feet (Also: note the much rumored "monkey4.lucasarts.com" URL is printed on this back cover image, but it still doesn't point to the EMI site). Also, as is standard with MI boxes, the back contains an excerpt from the Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood, the Monkey Island years. Andy also pointed out that Amazon has updated their cover to reflect the slight change in Guybrush's face, the new slogan at the bottom (which to the horror of many is written in ... comic sans) and a note saying the game includes a "free Quick Path walkthrough from Prima Games." Pictures are included below for your browsing convenience.

    How could Lucas Arts stoop so low as to use comic sans on thier box art?!?! While its a cool font, it's become the apidimy of overused fonts and so trite it could gag a typographer!
