Availability[edit]
| Source | DRM | Notes | Keys | OS |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Demo[edit]

Version differences[edit]
Apart from the Demo version, there have been three DOS releases of this game with different video and audio options.
EGA version[edit]
This version shipped on diskette, and offers support for
- Video : Hercules, CGA, Tandy, MCGA, EGA and VGA graphics.
- Audio : PC Speaker, Tandy, Game Blaster and Adlib sound.
- Despite it offering options for MCGA and VGA, it only supports up to 16 colours.
- To minimise the number of disks needed for distribution, this version lacked Roland MT-32 support. Roland MT-32 support is available as a separate free download.
VGA256 version[edit]
This version shipped on diskette, and offers support for
- Video : EGA, MCGA and VGA graphics. EGA will be in 16 colours, while MCGA and VGA are in 256 colours.
- Audio: PC Speaker, Tandy, Game Blaster, Adlib and Roland MT-32 sound.
CD-ROM Enhanced version[edit]
This version, shipped on CD-ROM, and offers support for
- Video : EGA, MCGA and VGA graphics. EGA will be in 16 colours, while MCGA and VGA are in 256 colours.
- Audio: PC Speaker, Adlib, Sound Blaster and Roland MT-32 sound.
In addition the CD-ROM has 24 digital audio tracks sampled from a MT-32 for background music during the game.
It uses the updated game engine from Monkey Island 2, and uses icons for inventory instead of text.
Essential improvements[edit]
Compatibility on modern systems[edit]
- The classic version can be played on modern systems using DOSBox or ScummVM.
Sound Blaster 486 patch[edit]
- If the game is running via ScummVM, this patch is irrelevant
A patch[1] is available to solve problems with Sound Blaster and 486 or faster computers for the VGA256 edition of the game. The patch is available simply as MONKEY.EXE, and replaces the MONKEY.EXE that came with the game.
- Before replacing your MONKEY.EXE, check your existing interpreter version by running
MONKEY ?. The replacement interpreter is version 5.0.18. If your existing interpreter version is newer, don't replace it.
- This update does NOT add a Sound Blaster audio option. Like interpreter version before it, Sound Blaster cards will use the Adlib option with this interpreter.
Roland MT-32 patch[edit]
A patch[2] was made available for adding Roland MT-32 support to the EGA diskette versions of the game that lacked the support. The patch is available as a self-extracting ZIP file named MONKEYUP.EXE that extracts to DISK09.LEC.
- After the update, running
MONKEY ?will not show a Roland option. Despite this, starting the game withMONKEY Rwill attempt to use the Roland MT-32.
Ultimate Talkie Edition[edit]
Uses the 2009 'Special Edition' version to create a fan patched[3] version that adds bug fixes and speech. And unlike the Special Edition version, can be run from ScummVM, DOS or DOSBox.
Game data[edit]
Configuration file(s) location[edit]
- The game auto detects the hardware on each startup. There is no configuration file.
- It is possible to override the detection by specifying options behind MONKEY.EXE
