- Video : EGA, MCGA and VGA graphics. EGA will be in 16 colours, while MCGA and VGA are in 256 colours.

Essential improvements[edit]
Compatibility on modern systems[edit]
- The classic version can be played on modern systems using DOSBox or ScummVM.
Sound Blaster 486 patch[edit]
- If your running the game in ScummVM, this patch is irrelevant
A patch[1] is available to solve problems with Sound Blaster and 486 or faster computers for the VGA256 edition of the game. The patch is available simply as MONKEY.EXE, and replaces the MONKEY.EXE that came with the game.
- Before replacing your MONKEY.EXE, check your existing interpreter version by running
MONKEY ?. The replacement interpreter is version 5.0.18. If your existing interpreter version is newer, don't replace it.
- This update does NOT add a Sound Blaster audio option. Like interpreter version before it, Sound Blaster cards will use the Adlib option with this interpreter.
Roland MT-32 patch[edit]
A patch[2] was made available for adding Roland MT-32 support to the EGA diskette versions of the game that lacked the support. The patch is available as a self-extracting ZIP file named MONKEYUP.EXE that extracts to DISK09.LEC.
- After the update, running
MONKEY ?will not show a Roland option. Despite this, starting the game withMONKEY Rwill attempt to use the Roland MT-32.
Ultimate Talkie Edition[edit]
Monkey Pimpster's Game Mac Os X
Uses the 2009 'Special Edition' version to create a fan patched[3] version that adds bug fixes and speech. And unlike the Special Edition version, can be run from ScummVM, DOS or DOSBox.
