We've been tossing lumps of Tattooine sand at the beached, bloated corpse of Star Wars for so long that it releasing anything pleasant was going to be a surprise. Count on Steve Purcell to find some blubber on that bone, yanking this poster for the Disney+ show Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and endearing us to whoever's commissioned it.
Polish adventure game enthusiast “vicek83”, maintainer of The World of Adventure Games YouTube channel, has rung in the new year by inviting various adventure game developers to talk a little about the projects they’re working on in 2025.
Bill Tiller is on hand, representing A Vampyre Story: A Bat’s Tale, and conveniently his bit comes right at the start of the hour-long video:

The Secret of Monkey Island turns thirty-five (35) this year, which means some… many, actually… of us should take a long look in the mirror and contemplate how we’ve spent the last three-and-a-half decades.
But screw that – instead, we decided to post a short article with some of the weird secrets and easter eggs found in the first Monkey Island game.
It has been interesting learning over the past few years that the small trivia we thought was common knowledge apparently isn’t. Which, again, is why we should take a minute or two and ask ourselves if we’ve lived our best lives.
That’s for another day, though! Now go read!
I will admit that here in the year of our lord, 2025, I would not have expected web games to still be a “thing.” Yet, a “thing” they are, and recently, two Monkey Island games have popped up – the first of them right here at Mojo. Introducing Monkey Island Frantic, a screenshot guessing game that’s, well, frantic.
It’s a simple concept: Small pieces of a screenshot fly across the screen, and you have to guess which location it is from. And, of course, you can share your score over on the forums.
Meanwhile, over at The Legend of Monkey Island, you can find a Heardle clone called Guess That Tune.
Once again, you can brag about your results on our forums because that’s just the kind of person you are.
And, of course, our old games are waiting for ya: Mojole and a port of sorts of the Return to Monkey Island trivia game.
There, your weekend is set.
