It’s been two days. You’ve all had your fun, and now it’s time to turn to pressing matters.
It’s time to put our feet back on the ground, drop the nonsense, stop forestalling the inevitable and embrace our duty.
It’s time to vote on the best Monkey Island official site.
- First up you got your basic Curse of Monkey Island official site, all right. Now with this one you get HTML frames, chattering Murrays, and a developer diaries section filled with vintage Dan Pettit anecdotes. An easy choice for those with discerning tastes who also need to stay within a sensible budget.
- Fancier customers may not be prepared to settle for less than Escape from Monkey Island's official site, a triumph of judicially-appointed UI controls and conservative screen resolution expectations. It is said that if you contemplate its all-encompassing blueness with deep enough concentration, you can actually start to levitate. And, ladies: it's said to be single.
- And then there’s the newest contender of the pageant, an oven-fresh splash screen for Return to Monkey Island organically sourced and tailor-fit for the modern sensibility. Sleek. Elegant. Purple. These are but a few of the elements lifted shamelessly from Mixnmojo, but we admire anyone with the good sense to steal from the best.
There you have it. To which does your heart belong? Cast your vote in the comments, or declare loudly to Lucasfilm through indifference that they were wrong to revive this series. Whichever expresses your feelings best.
For me it evokes memories of the Monkey Island Web Ring, Microsoft Front Page, and my earliest forays into the world of making websites which funds my Monkey Island habits all these years later.
What a website. What a game.
1) I love what they did with Mêlée
2) I love what they did with svg path effects and the parallax effects and css animation transitions
3) I love that they brought back the firecamp smoke animation that was sadly cut from Monkey 1
4) I love what they did
5) I freaking love what they did
All good reasons which explain why I'm right.
So, that.
