Telltale Games

TimesNineXiX · 12/09/2009, 12:07 am

Some people mentioned Loom which I am going to have to agree with 100 percent. The holes in between the two realms are definitely inspired by that game.

Also, the dog with the paper- puzzle almost directly from MI2.

Obviously the swordfighting.

Anything else?

The Coke-ish Grog Machine was almost-but-not-quite directly out of Stan's shop in SMI. Except with added Grog XD, which was awesome.

Holes between realms as also seen in Sam & Max (Bermuda Triangles), Pullman's "His Dark Materials books", Portal (

) and many, many more...

MI2: Guybrush singing "Dry Bones" and then complaining about how he can never remember the words

CMI: "'I can't use the skeleton arm with that.' Heh."

and then while chewing some ABC gum: "Augh, this one had a tooth in it!"

The banang in Club 41 is an obvious Sam and Max reference.

Guybrush says "Papapishu" when touching the cutlass as a zombie!

Bagge · 12/09/2009, 05:50 am

The ferryman is obviously based on the Lost Welshman from CMI.

If you use the jeweled anchor with the skull on the sign you get a pretty amusing reference to CMI

Rebirth · 12/09/2009, 06:38 am

you know the talking Crabs of the Voodoo lady kinda reminded me of PotC 3.....

Guybrush pulls out and puts on a helmet/pot just before he is shot out of the cannon. Need I say what this is a reference to?

...this and conversation with Galeb about sailing out of Land of the Dead (Galeb comments: "That's stupid!"

)

tomm · 12/09/2009, 07:24 am

I liked the poster covering the hole in the wall reference to Shawshank Redemption...

CissyB · 12/09/2009, 07:37 am

Too bad Galeb doesn't have Manny Calavera's voice

....one of my all time favorite games.

He didn't get nearly enough screentime.

Nay, errr, aye - he really didn't...

Yeah the very start of the chapter made me think of Secret with the Grog Machine placed in a position so similar to that of Stan's place. Plus as mentioned the Ferryman and Lost Welshman connection.

Not gonna lie, I laughed out loud when he pulled out the "helmet".

eMKayeN · 12/09/2009, 11:09 am

Oh yeah forgot about that. I laughed when I saw that. Nice Secret reference.
