Imagine the task that was given to Michael Land. The player will listen to this music over and over for hours, aimlessly trying to find that missing object or what to do next. The risk of sounding repetitive or just plain detestable was high. Instead, he came out with the most effing beautiful soundtrack for a videogame in the history of humanity. George Lucas sure has a taste for composers!

Land is a genius for sure. However George Lucas had nothing to do with hiring Land. Lucasarts were a very independant company, even though he owned them. Basically he just funded them and as long as they delivered he did not interfere much.

I think it's an unpopular opinion, but it's also my opinion! I play it at least once every two years.

@Andreas Savva Depends probably on if you were born after 1990 or not.

After the original, THE adventure game for me :) Great art design, awesome music and voice acting, and both mechanically and visually it holds up the best of all the Monkey Island instalments. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

1:26:21 I can't exactly explain what I felt listening to this beautiful piece of music when I replayed the game yesterday, after like 20 years since last time. Nostalgia? Melancholy? A combination of both? I literally stopped for minutes listening to it, both upstairs and in the cheese backroom at the hotel and didn't want to leave.

This was the only Monkey Island game -- shoot, the only Lucasarts game -- that I got to play on authentic PC hardware. No console ports, no ScummVM, but the pure original experience.

Bit late, but I am SOO pumped for RTMI and its beautiful music 😭 I wonder if it’ll take notes from Jesse Harlin’s sound of the remastered enhancements from the SEs, or melodies from these, still hyped regardless! 🤟

Khild565 if you still have the cds of the game, but not an old windows 97 computer xD. You can get a program called ScummVM a emulator all you have to do is copy the files from the game into a folder then start up ScummVM search after the folder with the files in.

Renthar Yeh I did that, It wasn't very stable so I couldn't fully enjoy it. Plus when it came time for the game to tell me to change CD, I couldn't get the other half of the game to work!
