iMUSE was a clever solution to a tricky issue, and really helped give each locale and scene a *vibe*. I had the Amiga version which sounded different, but not necessarily worse depending on your PC soundcard.
I never got to play the games but my cousin’s told me that it was so good that I got the new physical title of return to monkey island. It was Hella funny
This series (actually most Western games, but let me not get into that right now) get almost completely ignored in conversations about videogame music come around, which is a crying shame.
It also has some of the most beautiful pixel art ever put to digital canvas.

Great series!
The Woodtick theme which alters slightly in what building you are in lives rent free in my head.

If you haven’t checked out Return to Monkey Island it’s very good.
Back when Roland sound synth sounded unreal. Still does to this day. Midi was/is bomb!
I got a rush of good emotions when I was this post 🙂 I have so many wonderful memories from this game serie.

How appropriate – you fight like a cow!
Amazing game.
iMuse is why I became a programmer. Such an inspiration of art and music blended with technology.
I’m still sore that Ron trolled us with that ending for decades.
Literally found out yesterday the soundtrack was developed by Peter McConnell – the composer for the Sly Cooper franchise
The only game that gives me fonder memories than this is the first one! 🙂 Great games. Just great, great games.

Anyway, enjoy this classical guitar cover of the main theme, it’s amazing: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0orZEIdGIM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0orZEIdGIM)
