In the meantime, just as an aside, Return to Monkey Island, another title in the game series, is supposed to ensure lively pirate adventures this year. But how about the third part of Monkey Island on the Amiga? It does not work? Maybe soon, also natively and without ScummVM in the luggage.

The Brit Robin Southern is currently developing a port of The Curse of Monkey Island for the Amiga with Goodsoup. However, one shouldn't expect too much from the current developer version at the moment, but it can certainly be seen as a proof of concept. Goodsoup version 0.4, released four days ago, does not yet support screen graphics or audio, but it can load the game data (scripts and room files) and the game up to the level of difficulty selection.
