a lot of these are from 1991/1992 when the game was just called "Guest", with camera angles that you can't see in the actual game, and higher resolution renders

pretty cool stuff

I remember playing this with my Dad. We got to some point in the later game and got stuck and couldn't continue. Same thing happened with Monkey Island.

Back before the internet, we didn't really have any way to get help. There was probably a number you could call, but I can't remember.

In the Monkey Island game itself there was a part in which you call the Lucas Arts Hint number.

Oh yeah I bet they had a phone number that'll help you for a bunch of money lol

If you wanna try the game again, use ScummVM no matter which version of the game you buy (well, except Switch)

Here's my spoiler free hint guide if you get stuck https://youtu.be/T5rBc_T8x2g

Oh yeah, my Dad was a cheapskate. No way he was going to pay for a 1 900 number lol.

Yep, on the ScummVM. I've played through all the Lucas arts games. I remember where I got stuck on Monkey Island and felt so dumb when I figured out what I wasn't doing.

Was it the grog mugs? I got stuck there for a while lol

It was the vending machine underground or in some tunnel in Monkey Island 2. It's been a while since I played through that one again.

Oh man, I never finished it because I didn't realise I could use the monkey as a wrench because "monkey wrench" was not a thing in my country. We have "shifting spanner" instead, so the wordplay was lost :(

Was it the cans puzzle in the pantry?

Trying to puzzle out that sentence was a fucking nightmare.
