There's a trailer for Return to Monkey Island. No, it wasn't posted on
April Fools, but shortly after.

I have no idea what this thread is about. You may have been too

For a newsgroup about Monkey Island, where the posters tend to return to
after a prolonged absence, the subject "Return to Monkey Island" is
about as generic as it gets.
I won't be getting Return to Monkey Island (the game, not the post). At
least not for a while. Full Throttle and Grim Fandango are on the list,
I've got those laying around.

Well, serious reviews are gonna hate it. They'll spend half the time
complaining about the game having anachronisms and the other half
bemoaning the lack of first person view and ray trace graphics.
The 19th be the day it reaches our shores. Arrrrr.

You imply there is a SOBER Picasso style.

Nothing yet. I won't be playing it for a while. But I've only heard good
things so far. Anyone complaining hasn't actually played it because of
the graphic style.
