A voodoo platformer tribute for Monkey Island’s 35th anniversary
Ahoy, pirates and pixel-loving adventurers!
I’m an indie developer on a mission to revive the magic of the '90s by creating completely free games for the legendary Super Nintendo (SNES). And to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Monkey Island, I’m working on something special: Disk 22-36-114, a voodoo-infused platformer inspired by the mythical Disk 22 — the legendary joke that drove fans wild back in the day!
Remember that mysterious floppy that never actually existed? I’ve decided to make it real. This game is a cheeky, nostalgic tribute packed with:
Environmental puzzles and acrobatic jumps
Voodoo magic and deep-cut references
A nimble Guybrush (scaled to SNES limits: 16x32 pixels!)
Chapter 1: SNES ROM – Disk 22
Guybrush finds himself beneath Melee Island, navigating eerie catacombs filled with skeletons and skulls. The atmosphere pays homage to Indiana Jones, with cryptic puzzles, ancient traps, and nods to the iconic “three trials.” It’s a dark, mysterious descent where wit and bravery are key to survival.
Chapter 2: SNES ROM – Disk 36
Back on the surface, Guybrush faces off against the island’s sheriff in a wild chase that spans every corner of Melee. The duel unfolds in the most unexpected places, turning familiar settings into chaotic battlegrounds. This chapter amps up the action and humor, with fast-paced twists and unconventional showdowns.
Chapter 3: SNES ROM – Disk 114
To escape arrest, Guybrush discovers a mysterious gray door—one he’s never dared to open—located to the left of the clock tower scene. Stepping through, he enters the world of LOOM, where he must confront the powerful entity known as Chaos. It’s a bold crossover that merges two legendary LucasArts worlds in an epic final act.
It’s a surreal pursuit through traps, voodoo, and... municipal regulations.
The game will be 100% free and playable on SNES hardware.
I’ll be sharing screenshots and gameplay details soon.
Stay tuned, mates. The legend of Disk 22 is finally coming to life.
