Monkey Island proof-of-concept for Apple II+

[v***@pianoman.cluster.toy]

Hello,

I put together the intro to the game "The Secret of Monkey Island"
and some very limited proof-of-concet gameplay for it.

It put this together pretty quickly. It re-uses the engine to
Myst, and the Mockingboard music comes from an Amstrad CPC demo.

It is in Lo-res again. There's info on the website if you have
any questions on the feasability of other graphics modes. If you
still think HGR/DHR/DLORES/SHR would be better, then I encourage you
to code it up so we can see.

WOW. Beautiful work Vince! The theme song sounds great too.

(I definitely need to do an DHGR version once Nox Archaist wraps up.)

The theme song is the whole reason I did this.

The music was put together by someone else for an Amstrad CPC demo.

It's in ym format, so decompressed it takes 30k which made it a tight
fit for the II+, part of why I was doing things in lo-res.

The other reason I didn't for for at least regular hires is because
I wanted to do the background cloud animation and I don't have any
ready-to-go hires sprite code yet. Though in the end you can't really
see the cloud because I had to make the text bigger to be legible
at lores resolution.
