I really need to complete 1 and 2 and I guess 3 unless that one doesn't count.

I also need to complete Doom 2 (and 3, and Doom 2016 and eternal...)

MI:3 is a good game but doesn't count as far as Ron Gilbert is concerned.

As for Doom, you can skip Eternal IMHO.

At least some people remember MI3 was a thing... MI4 doesn't even get a mention.

If a new Monkey Island game doesn't feature Murray, it's not a MI game as far as I'm concerned.

So, does the fact that Murray appears in the trailer mean that Gilbert is taking MI3 (and possibly 4) as canon? I recall him saying that if he were to make another MI, it would be a direct MI2 sequel.

rather launching murry from the cannon 😉
this shows his attitude to mi3
wtf is this thing doing in my game...
smashing mi3murry to the bottom of the sea means we start from mi2 ending again
no silly hint system this time

Now, I need a retail release to make it perfect... I want a nice new box to put right next to the old ones 😀

Yeah, that's what he posted in his blog, almost 10 years ago. But his mind has changed (or was changed for him 😉)
"MI3 doesn't go out of canon. We were very careful about that. Murray is in this game."

Also thought it was just an April fools joke. Will be an instant buy when it's release.

I actually played half of those and not a single one can hold a candle to MI1 or MI2, so yeah, I look forward to MI3.

You haven't? Well, then you really should give it a try. I'm pretty sure, you'll enjoy it, if you liked the first two games 😀

I revisited Escape from Monkey Island today again and I completely forgot how to put the coal on my legs. Good times.
