Yes, but it is still not very logical. I mean, it's just a pun. And I know people that could rate a game 1/10 just because of that.

That puzzle is a nightmare for non english/american people :rant:

This game held a certain fun for us all when played by massive groups of people. Walk throughs are a clear killer. Meeting friends after the weekend back at school, even talking to ppl you wouldn't of previous, all just to find out how you did 1 thing.

In a time before mobile phones, waiting to meet or find that 1 person who had got further than you was as exciting as the game itself. Once told, it was always something simple and a why didn't I try that.

It was hot topic at the time and everyday was a cycle, get to school, swap finds and tips, get home and try it. Once at school you couldnt wait to be home to try it, once at home you couldn't wait to be back at school to discus the next bit.

I never got to play Monkey Island as a kid, in fact the first one I played was number three Curse of Monkey Island. However when I did play the first one I really enjoyed it, I had played Full Throttle another Lucas Arts game so I was ready for the humour. I have a Lets Play on Youtube Here.

On a side note I really enjoyed Runaway 2 even though it got quite talkie at the end, and am looking forward to the next part.

Great ,and funny adventure game. Played first in Amiga 500 ,in 1991.

X marks the spot (finding treasure)
 

So I've done the first two trials and I am on the third one... and I have the map so that is good... I've followed the map and go to an area enclosed but has no 'X'. So I figured I must have been mistaken and went to a walkthru... followed that... ended up in the same area, without an 'X'. Followed two more walkthrus with the same info, ended up in the same place, no 'X'.

What am I doing wrong? Did I miss talking to someone some where? Knowing the quirkiness of LucasArts is there an 'X' I need to get from someone to put on the ground to use the shovel with?

Have a look at this video and see where you went wrong...I suspect you just need to walk to the right though.

Watch from about 1.30...or just watch up to that part since it is only a minute and a half. And then you should see where you went wrong.

That was it... I was not going to the right... somehow I must have missed that one step... but every time? Wow... I must have started out in the wrong area or something. Anyhow... thanks!

Nostalgia. I played wonderful 1 and 2 part. I love the humor and style of this game. And who played remember this word - Touche '!:smile2:
