I love the series - I played the original as a child not a couple years after it came out and i was young then. It credits OSC as the insult writer - why did he no longer assist with the other ones - it kinda went down after the 3rd one [Frown]

I was brought in as an occasional consultant with LucasFilm Games, and that's one of the assignments I was given by the real creators of Monkey Island. It was fun, but it was (relatively speaking) slight. I was proud to have the credit, but the really hilarious stuff in the writing was done by others.

It's all about the writers. If it went downhill, I'll bet it had something to do with a change of writers. If not, then maybe they had gotten weary of it.

Or maybe you just got older and no longer appreciated it the way you had before ...

Man, those games were great...at least the first two. Hilarious.

Yeah, and after the first two the games were handed to a new developer and new writers, unfortunately.
