Speaking of fan service, The Museum of Pirate Lore seems to have been implemented for no other reason. This time, however, players will need to work pretty hard to convince him to talk about Loom, though will at least unlock the Fan Service achievement for doing so.

A skeleton can be found wearing the same "Ask Me About Loom" badge in The Curse of Monkey Island, while Cobb himself, who actually shares his name with a character from Loom, is back in the SCUMM Bar for Return to Monkey Island. This grizzled old pirate can be encountered in the SCUMM Bar during the opening stages of the series' very first installment and responds to the vast majority of questions that are thrown at him with a simple "Aye." However, that all changes pretty quickly if players heed the advice on his badge and decide to ask him about Loom.Īt this point, Cobb will begin to advertise the game, which was in development at LucasFilm Games at the same time as The Secret of Monkey Island. The Monkey Island series has its fair share of long-running gags, with one of the more memorable ones relating to a character named Cobb.
