Escape from Monkey Island/Trivia


 * Development Gag: In-game, the SCUMM Bar is replaced by the Lua Bar after a hostile takeover, named after the language used in coding the game.
 * Keep Circulating the Tapes: Both this game and The Curse of Monkey Island are the only two Monkey Island games that still lack a modern re-release on digital distribution platforms like Steam and GOG (at least as of 2016).
 * The Other Darrin: Once played by the very British Alexandra Boyd, Elaine is now played by the very American Charity James.
 * Talking to Himself: Dominic Armato ("What kind of weird duck are you?").
 * Unintentional Period Piece: Another major problem with the game. So many of its jokes are based on Turn of the Millennium pop culture that, today, they fall horribly flat. The plot, meanwhile, spoofs a lot of social issues that are far less relevant now than they were in 2000 (such as big corporations dehumanizing middle America). It's like American Beauty: The Game.
