Special Edition

How does the special edition fit in? Would that be a separate game completely?

I was wondering the same thing.

As far as I'm concerned it should be separate. The special Edition has MUCH slower transitions between scenes and playing in the newer graphics means using the new style interface. Which I'm pretty sure is more cumbersome than ScummVM version.

The one advantage SE seems to have is the text speed can be faster, but its even faster to skip it yourself in ScummVM so it's kinda pointless. (I don't know for sure if u can skip text as fast in SE, i'll have to look into it)

You could run the special edition in old graphics mode but then you might as well play classic anyway.

So to sum up, it would be unfair to run SE against Classic mainly because of transitions being very slow.

well the game is the same(minus better graphics and slower transitions), i dont think it should be added, but if people want it then i could add it.

I have decided I would like to run the special edition. I assume like Day of the Tentacle Remastered and the other Lucasarts remastered games it would get its own separate page. How do we get that started?

It could be added as a new category tab to keep everything under one game page for convenience (and I'm considering trying to run SE as well). I've seen a lot of communities do that.

Its been submitted and verified, we now have a separate page for Monkey Island 2 Special Edition. https://www.speedrun.com/Monkey_Island_2_Special_Edition_LeChucks_Revenge
