...until Lucasarts shut

"The game was never greenlit but was virtually completed when LucasArts' closure spelt the end for the venture, according to Kotaku."

Very interesting.

It's a shame it was never finished after coming so close. That reminds me, I still have to find a "new" used copy of this game. The voices no longer work on my old disk (I could only copy the other files onto ScummVM), and while I can get through the game without them, it's not the same.

Yes, a great shame .... And especially after the wonderful job that was made of the "Special Edition" of Monkey Island.
Being able to switch between original version and special version during game play was SUCH a marvellous treat !!

Too bad they can't offer a Kickstarter to finish it.
