Telltale Games

Toothless Gibbon · 06/05/2009, 01:25 am

I have to say that, despite the twisted logic of it all, my fav is actually the Monkey Wrench puzzle from MI2!

Depite it being very frustrating, I probably got more satisfaction from solving that one puzzle alone after being stuck for weeks! (can't remember if it was a try-everything-on-everything affair or a moment of genius, but I like to think the latter!)

Whats yours?

twisted-pixel · 06/05/2009, 01:51 am

I can't single out a singe puzzle since everyone of the games has been so mind-blowingly good.

I used to love saying "the skeleton arm wont work with that" to everyone who was having trouble doing anything (and then having to explain what it was I was talking about!!)

Probably the spitting competition or finding the ship's headpiece, both from MI2.

Mataku · 06/05/2009, 09:23 am

Obvious. MI1, when you're in the water. The most obvious solution is sometimes the most overlooked.

Secret Fawful · 06/05/2009, 09:28 am

I loved all of the puzzles that I ached my brain to figure out. Those were the best. I enjoyed the puzzles in MI for their comedic payoff. The cannon puzzle on the ship for instance.

My favorite puzzle in MI2 was getting Lechucks beard in the elevator/making of the voodoo doll.

Crimnor · 06/05/2009, 01:09 pm

Definitely getting the golden tooth in CMI with the bubble gum. Man, that took me so long

catzilla · 06/05/2009, 01:26 pm

The singing pirate puzzle in CMI. Had me laughing out loud all the way through!

tredlow · 06/06/2009, 01:58 pm

Escape from the snake's stomach in CMI.

That, and when Guybrush PICKED UP A LARGE DOG AND PUT IT IN HIS POCKET in MI2. Talk about Hammerspace!

Armakuni · 06/06/2009, 02:03 pm

The monkey on the water pump to stop the waterfall... oh wait, you said favourite puzzle... nevermind then

tmsmyth4 · 06/15/2009, 04:57 am

definately bubblegum puzzle-typical MI, thinking you've nailed it then finding out theres more to do-think i searched the whole island looking for that bubblegum balloon before checking the mud =s i miss the satisfaction you get from working out these type of puzzles

Grulien · 06/15/2009, 05:15 am

That puzzle took me soo long to do and wasnt a favourite

My fave was monkey komb...ok ok i cant lie that bad. My favourite puzzle was probably the Goodsoup family crypt, i thought it was class

SurplusGamer · 06/15/2009, 07:54 am

I love the puzzle from the end of Monkey Island 2, running around trying to make the voodoo doll.

Oh, and also I always liked the puzzle in SMI with the grog mugs. Oh! OH! And the plank and the seagull.

Aaaah, and the secret code to get into the club in MI2.

So many. That special edition better come out soon so I can replay it.

Bagge · 06/15/2009, 05:41 pm

I like the Rum Rogers Jr-puzzle from MI2.

onlyamonkey · 06/15/2009, 05:55 pm

def something from MI3, which i think had the most stimulating puzzles. the goldtooth is def a favourite.
