    I notice TGP is getting some great reviews around the internet home pages. I hope this results in incrementing sales for you guys.

    Also, I heard you probably wouldn't be doing any more adventure games.

    Well...

    FUCK YOU

    Thanks for the good wishes, and as for the latter sentiment... well, just hold onto that 'probably' ;)

    Mmm, I stuck at the very beginning : I've chosen the stealth approach and now I can't think of anyway to put it in practice.

    Also, how are the sales going ?

    Let's put it this way: we haven't started the sequel yet..! It's doing okay, but we're hoping for a spike when we get some stuff in print soon. But arsehole pirates have already got their grubby mitts on it.

    Don't worry about the stealth approach, btw! Need a hint..?

    You're having trouble getting power to the box at all? It just turns on for half a second then goes off again? If so, I'd say it's nothing to do with the service provider, it's something that could have happened to any appliance.

    I'd try the basics: plug it into a different socket, that you know is working/plug something else into that socket to check the socket's circuit isn't gone somehow. If it's not the socket, then perhaps it's worth changing the fuse in the plug. If that doesn't help get power to it, then it's something more majorly wrong with the box itself and I guess you would need to call the cable providers and ask for advice (they may have to send someone round).

    Have I got the wrong end of the stick? Does this sound like sound advice to everyone else? Is it too late for this now?

    Ron is talking about a Special Edition style re-release with new graphics and voices, not a ToMI style sequel. So he hasn't sold out by consulting on ToMI, but he has changed his mind about the idea of a Special Edition.

    On the subject of MI2's ending, I suspect Ron was planning to make a third game, and so put the lightning/spell stuff in as a cliffhanger and to give himself somewhere to go. I think he wanted to have his 'imagination twist' cake and eat it. What I would be interested to see, if we ever got The Real Monkey Island 3 from Ron, would be how he decided to balance the imagination twist, which he had been setting up throughout the two games, vs the 'this is real' Caribbean stuff.
