I am just curious, how many different countries did the Monkey Island games get to? I see fans form all over! I am kinda surprised I thought the first two games where not very big titles as it took so long for CoMI and EoMI to get made and released. I am wondering where I could find out how far and wide Monkey Island has spread.

Where's Slovenia?

Anyway... for the record I'm from the UK myself.

I reckon that most Monkey Island fans are European (mostly German I suspect) but I'm sure there's many a fan worldwide. After all, who doesn't enjoy a little monkey lovin'? ...not that sort of lovin', you perv!

Born in the UK living in Australia. Don't know what madness prompted me to pick up EfMI. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the game, but looking back it seems like the most arbitrary of choices for a kid to have made. Glad I did though. It's a great series.

Italy.
The first 2 MI's had no voices.
They were already subtitled and localized in italian, or at least the later versions I played were.
I played MI (1 & 2) years later, PC's were not yet mainstream in Italy those years.

and my first MI game was MI2. I was a kid at the time and I couldn't understand an english sentence longer than my name :D but I didn't really care because at that time the graphics, animations and soundtracks captured me totally. I remember putting that freakin bucket on Largo's door was the most difficult puzzle I cam across.

Geypi, I have no desire to start some kind of forum war with you so first of all, peace ;)

However, just to clear things up; I was trying to point out that if you look at the post I originally responded to and my then read my response then I think it should be fairly obvious that I was making a joke (i.e. trying to give the impression that I am in fact stupid).. I never said the joke was funny ;)

Therefore, when you suggested that I am retarded, I found that to be a tad offensive.

A lot of my offense came from your use of the word 'retarded' because I happen to know quite a few mentally-handicapped people and I don't think they or I appreciate the use of the word 'retard' as an insult.

I refused to insult you in return and so I simply pointed out the obvious to you and returned the proverbial retard-insult-ball back in your direction.

Sorry to have rambled on a bit, I have a habit of doing that but Geypi, please allow me to wrap up by assuring you that the above was typed purely to explain my previous posts and I mean no hostility towards you at all.

Can't we all just get along? :D

Geypi, Davies - get a grip lads, you two could start a fight in an empty house!

Well, actually I did start a fight in an empty house once, funny story... (just in case: joke) :p

Woah man, that's amazing! I understood the text when I first played MI2 and that bucket puzzle was just one of many that stumped me. Heck, I spent half my playing time using random objects on each other and the items throughout the game-world, with my fingers crossed! Kudos, I salute you.

I'm from Saudi Arabia too !!

- My first game was MI-3, which I played many many times after the first time , because I really loved it. (~1997)

.........( I believe between those two , I played GrimFandango, which I really wish TellTale should sponser!)

- Then I ordered MI-4 once it was released in the US, but didn't really like it or remember it!! (~2000)


- After that I got older and became a busy man, but that didn't stop me from playing MI. Believe it or not, I then played MI-1 and MI-2 for the first time on my Pocket-PC (windows mobile phone) with the help of an emulator program. (~2004/2005)


- A couple of months ago(Jul-2009), I played MI-1-SE which was released recently by Lucas arts.

- Now (Sep-2009), because I want to spend my time at home with my wife, I'm actually playing MI-5 at work !! (don't tell my boss).

- Aug-2010, I played the MI-2-SE (this comment was added later)

In my first post I predicted that mostly Europeans would be at the top, with Germany in the lead. Looks like I wasn't too far off the mark. Although, I honestly thought that the USA would have been at 4th or 5th place.

09/16/2009, 01:15 pm
Well, this game is only available in English so far (and this is an English-language forum), so USA and UK are very likely to be at the top of the list.

But it shows that the German education system isn't as bad as everyone says it is. A lot of Germans apparently speak English well enough to 1) survive on a English language forum and 2) can understand many English jokes.

By the way (I don't intend to post twice everytime I'm just too dumb to capture two thoughts in one post) I freakin' looooove Telltale for bringing ToMI to us. I Haven't felt so happy for a long time. To be accurate after I've finished MI2 I never heard of MI3 till I finished MI4 (which wasn't too bad but bad enough) And then I had a go on MI 3 And was absolutely stunned by how fantastic that was. Is there anybody else out there salivating at the thought of the Giant Nacho-Cheese-Wheel on Blood Island. Sorry (again) for devolving the thread.

One more Swede for the list, from Lund.

Also started on ye old Amiga 500 with SoMI. Good times, no internets and walkthroughs, just friends and hints in computer magazines...

...since I just got both Bone games for free (thanks, Telltale!) I hereby vow to play both with my network cable unplugged! :cool:

Err, a small correction here. Moldova is a region from Romania. Republica Moldova is a country between Romania and Ukraine.
Sooo... to the person that said he's from Moldova, what did you mean? :)

Check 1 for Romania too, please :D

In my first post I predicted that mostly Europeans would be at the top, with Germany in the lead. Looks like I wasn't too far off the mark. Although, I honestly thought that the USA would have been at 4th or 5th place.

Hi Dave

There are 2 from Denmark, Skarnet and me (post 35 and 26) :D
