    Oil Ocean Zone

    Sky Chase Zone

    IceCap Zone

    Lava Reef Zone (even though it's already been done with "Lover Reef")

    These have all been done with lyrics. Oil Ocean and Ice Cap remixes are on this site even. Just give it another look.

    Although I wonder if it's just time to close the curtain on those kinds of adventure games. I mean, I haven't played the latest Sam & Max games, so I'll reserve my judgment, but I thought that Escape From Monkey Island was a bit lacking compared to Curse of Monkey Island. Maybe it was the art direction and the jump to 3D, maybe it was just me, I dunno.

    Newer Sam and Max games are, fun clever and intuitive. All they really lack are good 'triggers'.

    Escape From Monkey Island's main flaw was the inclusion of WAY too many throwback jokes and not enough original humor. The ending was also fairly lame.

    I also know of a bunch of short grunt noises I've heard in many crappy games, and most recently some American white trash daytime TV show.

    Man, someone with a bit more insight should make a "10 most overused samples in media" article.

    I hereby nominate the 'flip' sound used in comedies when quickly changing from plot to plot.

    Wasn't The Dig supposed to be a movie originally, and due to budget reasons they just made it into a game? If that's the case, they should really go back and make it into a movie now.

    It was put forward as a possible movie idea, but ultimately shoved to the side. Even the game had severe troubles being made, going through 3 different design teams before finally being released (which explains some of the non cohesion in art styles). Reasons The Dig wouldn't work as a movie in its game format is the lack of 'togetherness' on the part of the search team. It would be a movie based on ambience, and those type of films just don't do that well nowadays.

    I think Secret of Monkey Island might have been the first PC game I really ever played (having been mostly a console gamer). I played it at a friend's house up to the point where you have to shoot yourself out of the cannon on the ship, and for some reason I couldn't figure it out. I was damned sure that I knew what you had to do, but I was apparently clicking things in the wrong order or something.

    This is because you boiled your recipe instead of the dance paper or the minutes you receive from the pirates. I have found almost every glitch in this game (including getting the monkey to the wrong side of the mountains and the 'Lemonhead Loop')
