I guess Sept 2nd is as close to an anniversary we have for Monkey Island. I made the gold master on the 2nd but it probably didn't appear in stores until Oct. There was no "release date" back them. It annoys we when people say Monkey Island "released" today.

Hey, btw I still didn't understand the whole logic of that lyrical riddle sword fight if that was your design ! ⚔️
Last play was almost 2 decades when there was a small party of friends with people around as a bit of a revisit to the game (also to try get crowd-intelligence how to complete things) but we couldn't get to the end of that sword fight! But fun all the way.
Nothing much since then other than seeing it on hard disk a few times and maybe some art... since the youth has passed now. I guess time-killing was a past-time which many people did and do but this was actually the more lively, bright, creative humoured adventure games.
Quality.
And now your account as mini-revival (thanks!)
The basic animation of fire, 
, the scenes, music interactions, the drawing style etc all still lives on as very unique! Well done!
🗨️ Happy to talk about it via #Jitsi #Chat anytime with anyone! Love to talk and test our memory together! How about it?

P.S 2
Oh wow I just found some #savegame files on my disk...
...and it has the date in them!! 👀
And now some music by Michael Land (sorry if it wasn't from your version Ron as I know lots of versions came out). But just quickly as this post is already too long even for a fan perhaps!...
Again love to talk more / invest in the nostalgia... if you want!)
