permanently stuck in Monkey Island?

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, but I've given Otis and the Grog distributor all my 478 pieces of eight before buying the sword and the shovel, and I guess it's well, game over?

Didn't know MI1 had a permanent stuck death.

Apparently you're right - I looked on the web and found http://www.miwiki.net/Grog_Machine where it's also mentioned under "Trivia"

It's funny because I kept doing so with the self-confidence of ones who's firmly convinced MI was without stuck points. I even thought I already did that in my youth, and I was ready to bet another "helmet" would have spawn in the kitchen and Fettuccini bro would ask you another cannon test.

Oh well, you learn something every day!

There's even one place where you can get yourself killed... but of course, everyone already knows about that, right?

yeah the ten minutes drown and the fake sierra death - those are legendary.

Actually - do the scumm commands change in the PC-CDrom version too?

They do:

Though not in the exact same way as the floppy version:

I guess "Decompose" was too long a word for the CD version's interface.

"Rot" is a good substitute in my opinion:)

Exactly why would you be stuck if you gave away the pieces of eight? I only recall having to use them with the Shopkeeper..?

If you need to use them there is a ScummVM debugger command that will give you some. I uhh... forgot what it is though...

Sadly, there was no publicly available debugger before ScummVM:P

What's CTRL+D then?

No idea, what does that do when you run the game in its original form without ScummVM?
