BLEH

It was a 1:1 remake just with better drawn graphics

A few years ago I downloaded a Fan made Police Quest Remake
(It wasnt, I repeat 'was not' the Sierra VGA remake)

Its almost identical to the original EGA(?) version (you know the stick pixell stick arms and legs version), but this one has more colour and depth,etc.

I have searched all over the internet but Im not having any luck finding it and most of the search results are being over shadowed by the recently released sierra collections, I figure if someones going to have it or know where to download it it should be here

[Regarding Making A Dubbed Movie Of MI1]

Hey all, Im looking for some Input here
I've posted this on WMI and ScummVM Website, Im not looking to spam the internet with my Idea Im just looking for MI fans with their opinions on this project

Also a while back I 'dabbled' with AGS, to my 'untrained eye' it would seem its completely possible to remake Monkey Island 1 & 2 with AGS and turn them into 'Talkie Versions', I can imagine that It would probabally take ALOT of scripting & programing .... but then maybe someones figured out how to rip MI 1&2 apart and stick it back together again.. I admit I know nothing to even remotely assume anything, but this is why I'm asking....

Regarding Making A Dubbed Movie Of MI1

My Story:
Back in 1998 I bought a very crappy VCR Editing Machine (£80 woot!) it allowed me to add really crappy looking subtitles, but also I could hook up my microphone and record my voice directly over the video.  A friend of mine was dyslexic and couldnt read the text so when I playing final fantasy or other textual games I would voice act as I was playing so he knew what was going on.  At that time I had the idea for voice dubbing Monkey Island 1 onto VCR and voice dubbed the whole of 'Part One' onto VCR.  The quality was crap, the ingame text was displayed and the icon flies around the screen rather distractingly.

10 years later...

I have fantastic video editing software!

Now I can;
1.Lower the screen position to create a widescreen effect
2.Remove/Hide the Inventory & Commands
3.Remove/Hide all onscreen talkie text
4.Remove/Hide the blinking cursor
5.Add any kinds of voice or sound
6.Lip Sync the characters speech





YouTube Example Vid up in a few days.


Question 1,  Does this interest anyone?
I dont wanna spend ages creating something that MI fans wont care about.
Im sure that fans would want to replay TSOMI as a talkie, in which case maybe that would be a better idea.

Question 2, Short of hiring/kidnapping 'Dominic Armato' myself, Does anyone sound like him or any of the main characters and 'knows' how to voice act.  ( I could probabally do him myself as Guybrush is younger and may end up doing most of the characters, but I definitely want female voice actors for Elaine and the Voodoo Lady.

So there It is , let me know what you think.

To show people clearly what this will look/sound like I will upload a short video on youtube in a few days to show what the final product would be like.
