Debug Mode
After booting up the game, enter hardyharhar on the keyboard. Then, press Ctrl, Shift and D together. At any time Guybrush is on the screen, press Ctrl and G to go to any room in the game and set the x position for Guybrush to be in that room. Note that this feature is very error-prone, due to the lack of checking where the player is going, so use it carefully.
CD Version Keys
In addition to going to any room in the game, the following keys are available in the CD version:
| Key(s) | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + E | Examine/Change a SCUMM variable |
| Ctrl + F | Fast mode |
| Ctrl + O | Pick up an object |
| Ctrl + L | Enter in a boot parameter |
| 1 | Change character |
| 7, 8 | Change text color |
The SCUMM Bar has a list of valid rooms and boot parameters. Note that an invalid input is likely to crash the game.
Unused Music
There exists a short audio track in the CD version which doesn't seem to be used anywhere.
Timestamp
A SCUMM interpreter version string appears at 0x868 in the Mac version's DATA resource:

- 16 color floppy disk version, released in October 1990

Audio Differences
The CD version improved all of the audio and added new ambient tracks.

| Scumm Bar |
Visual Differences
The HUD was completely redone for the CD version. The commands Walk to, Turn on and Turn off have been removed and items now show up as graphical icons instead of text.
Brightness on certain characters has been tweaked: Guybrush is brighter in the CD version, and certain objects and other characters have been either brightened or darkened. Note in the screenshots below that the puddle of Grog on the floor is purple in the Floppy Disk version, but green in the CD version.
| Floppy Disk | CD-ROM |

Dialogue options have been moved one pixel to the right to avoid clipping the left side of the screen. The width of the space character has also been reduced.

Stump Easter Egg
In the Floppy Disk version, when you 'look at' a particular stump in the forest, Guybrush would exclaim there is a hole in the stump leading to a system of catacombs. The game would then jokingly prompt you to insert Disk 22, 36, 114 or other numbers. This led to players calling LucasArts' support hotline so much they decided to remove the joke in later versions of the game.
Miscellaneous Differences
- The CD version runs slightly faster and has faster loading times.
- In the circus, when asked for a helmet, you can use the pot or give the pot to the Fettucini Brothers in the Floppy Disk version. But in the CD version, you cannot use it so you have to give it.
- When looking at the treasure map, there is a unique animation of Guybrush taking out the map on the CD version.

Mac game maker Freeverse Software has announced that one of its most popular (and unusual) games is now available for Mac OS X. The company has announced the release of Burning Monkey Solitaire II version 2.5, which works on Mac OS 8.6 through X.
Burning Monkey Solitaire II is no mild mannered solitaire game — this is a full-contact, extreme solitaire game chock full of color graphics, obnoxious sounds, bad jokes, and, of course, Freeverse's trademark monkeys. The game also features what Freeverse bills as 'the world's most extensive cheating mode.'
Burning Monkey Solitaire II sports an array of classic solitaire card games, including Klondike, FreeCell, Pyramid, Canfield and 52 Pick-Up. The title also features full statistics, specific game replay, multiple decks, casino scoring, a 'boss coming!' screen, and more.
Burning Monkey Solitaire II version 2.5 calls for Mac OS 8.6 or later, including Mac OS X; 16MB RAM; 15MB of disk space.
The Real Monkeys Mac Os Catalina
Offered as shareware, Burning Monkey Solitaire II version 2.5 can be downloaded from Freeverse's Web site now. The game costs US$14.95 to register, or $24.95 to purchase on CD-ROM.
