I believe the only time this vertical centering was used in a published game was the opening credits of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

The first advert for The Secret of Monkey Island in a magazine appears to date from November 1990 🐒

Among other things, it mentions a "special" demo that would win prizes, including a cruise! 🏝️

As this is the French edition, almost everything is in French: the game, the manual, the reference card, the box and the screenshots! 🐓

Something I only noticed today in the EGA version of LucasArts' Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade game: the wine bottle in the Venice cafe is partly transparent. Notice how the colors change when Indy stands behind it!
#lucasarts #indianajones #lastcrusade #lucasfilmgames #adventuregames

A picture of the EGA version of LucasArts' Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade game, showing a cafe in Venice with a wine bottle on a table in the foreground.

Another picture of the Venice cafe in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade EGA. Here Indy is standing behind the wine bottle, and his trousers are visible through an area of transparency on the bottle surface.

A screenshot from the VGA version of LucasArts' Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In this version the wine bottle is drawn as fully opaque.

As a Frenchman, it would have been fun to hear "Château de Singe" in Shakespeare's language 😀

(in the Special Edition, since it's the only one with a dubbing)

Guess what? I found some early screenshots of #MonkeyIsland 1!

Note the "money (173 Pieces of Eight)". Meanwhile, the Sea Monkey cereal was "Cap'n Munch cereal" - likely changed to avoid a lawsuit - and the wine was "Chateau de Singe".
#lucasarts #adventuregames

An early screenshot of Monkey Island 1 EGA, with Guybrush standing outside the door to Elaine's mansion, with the door open and the piranha poodles dead, er, sleeping. The inventory includes "money (173 Pieces of Eight)", an "article" instead of PTA minutes, and a "dead chicken".

An early screenshot of Monkey Island 1 showing Guybrush on the deck of the Sea Monkey, standing by the cannon while the crew sunbathes. The inventory includes "Cap'n Munch cereal", and the wine bottle is called "Chateau de Singe".
