Great post! Monkey Island is for our generation a sort of Stevenson's Treasure Island, a classic history that enlightened our youth, you know : ) And for that will be forever, deeply and true grateful.
I've always though that meanwhile Monkey I and II were two master pieces that share the same spirit, all the nex games without you lost an internal coherence. Monkey III is unauthentic. Like jews with new testament, I've always considered subsequent games fake and not part of the Monkey Island Canon :) Only on exemple: In Monkey I/II Elaine is a charismatic and intelligent lady with strong character, in Monkey 3 is a helpless housewife. Plus the new art style without Steve Purcell was too childish.
Monkey II end never was used by the new designers, in a certain way we've never played the real Monkey 3 that we've expecting. The one you had in your head. So, please, Ron, can we expect you'll let us know the secret of monkey island with the final and true Monkey 3? :D That would be one of the dreams of my youth.
