Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge

Trivia

Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge was so named as a veiled Star Wars reference. The original subtitle of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi was Revenge of the Jedi.

Secret of Monkey Island II was named #74 overall among the “150 Best Games of All Time” by Computer Gaming World Magazine (15th Anniversary Issue--November 1996).

The Amiga version of this game was nicknamed Disk Juggling Simulator by the Amiga community due to it having 12 disks which were always having to be swapped around whilst playing the game.

Monkey Island 2 is the only game in the series so far to NOT include the famous Insult-Swordfighting battle sequences.

You can actually kill Guybrush! If you wait several minutes after being suspended above the pool of acid, you will be lowered into it!

Monkey Island 2 is one of the best-selling adventure games ever, having sold over 500,000 copies.

Sam & Max also make an appearance in the game - look for them in the costume shop.

There are a lot of books in the Phatt City library, one of them is called "The Majesty of the Sierras" (search the LM drawer). After you receive it from the librarian, take a look at it and Guybrush responds:

Sierras?
Majestic?
I think not. :-)

In the costume shop on Booty Island you can find costumes of two Hanna Barbera characters: Fred Flintstone and Huckleberry Hound.

In this game (as in many Lucasarts games) there are references to other Lucasarts products. For instance, in the antique shop, there is an Indy whip. The voodoo lady and LeChuck have great closeness to Star Wars. And Guybrush hates snakes, like Indiana Jones.

Sometimes in the gambling game, one of the possible prizes is a ticket to the Linguini Brother's Circus. But if you win the ticket and look at it, it'll say The Fettucini Brother's (from Mi1)

Ron Gilbert did not want to use a CD for this game, because he said it ran very slow and it didn't allow them to do what they wanted. He also believed that the CD wouldn't last for more than a couple of years. However, they were forced to delete six major scenes (as mentioned above) just for it to fit on five disks.

Big Whoop was never intended to be a large part of the game in the beginning.

This was one of the first games to use the iMUSE sound system.

Many scenes had to be cut from this game in order to fit it on the disks. However most of these scenes were not complete so a "director's cut" will never be made.

Lucasart's released a cd version, which included both Monkey Island 1 and 2. The only thing changed in Monkey Island 2 is that they removed the lite version. Note that they included a cd soundtrack for the first game...
