PARIS, Sept 23 — When Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman first let loose their swords, voodoo and pirates epic, it was sold on floppy disks and released for long-forgotten home PCs like the Amiga., a sequel with flashier graphics and orchestral scores that is only available as a download.

“I think there’s unfinished business for Guybrush because he never found the secret, and I think there’s unfinished business for Dave and I as well,” said Gilbert.The fan fervour around last Monday’s release showed just how strong the feelings still were for a game with blocky graphics and text prompts.

Although the pair are polite about these subsequent editions — “we would never pooh-pooh the canon”, said Gilbert — their new game picks up the story where the 1991 game ended. A core team of 25 people then spent two years beavering away on the game, dealing not only with the rigours of game design but also 30 years of expectation among fans.
