Movies have deleted scenes, everyone knows that. But it’s rare we see deleted game scenes, because they’re normally just 1s and 0s, and if they’re not in the final game, we don’t see them. Unless we’re talking Monkey Island!
Behold screenshots and a trailer for Ron Gilbert’s DeathSpank, due out 2010-ish for too many platforms to mention.
Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert plans to keynote the sixth annual Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle in September, the organisers said today.
With both a new Monkey Island and a remake of the original on the way, people once again have the classic series on the brain. What better time, then, to catch up on where it all started!
