: confirmed the game in a magazine.

: In the latest issue of the UK gaming
: magazine "PC Zone" all of the

: Rumours galore
: update by Spaff

: World of Monkey Island has printed an excerpt
: article from a Danish gaming magazine: PcPlayer.

: Ever since we in our Activate 99
: report a few months ago mentioned
: that Monkey Island 4 was on the
: drawing board, we have been more
: than buried with inquires from people
: who want to know more about the
: game. Therefore let's once again
: point out that the game, at best, is
: at a very early stage in production
: and therefore probably won't be
: released within the next year. The
: same thing goes for another
: mentioned, but highly unofficial title
: from LucasArts, and that is Full
: Throttle 2

: Very Interesting rumours.... especialy the
: Fulthrottle sequal... hmmmm. As for the reliablility
: of the magazine, who can tell? But we can hope.
