I love the way it subverts many of the tropes in the pirate genre by making the protagonist a very lucky idiot (something that games like Escape From Monkey Island and Tales Of Monkey Island lacked when they made Guybrush into a legendary hero figure). The writing in the games is absolutely fantastic and hilarious.

I absolutely adore the first three Monkey Island games (Curse Of Monkey Island is actually my favourite in the series). ".and the forces of darkness will applaud me as I STRIDE through the gates of hell carrying your head on a pike!" How does Monkey Island compare to other Point & Click adventures?ĭid you enjoy the story? Was it engaging/fun? Like other LucasArts adventure games, The Secret of Monkey Island features a design philosophy that makes the player character's death nearly impossible (Guybrush does drown if he stays underwater for more than ten minutes). The in-game action is frequently interrupted by cutscenes. While conversing with other characters, the player may choose between topics for discussion that are listed in a dialog tree the game is one of the first to incorporate such a system. Via a point-and-click interface, the player guides protagonist Guybrush Threepwood through the game's world and interacts with the environment by selecting from twelve verb commands (nine in newer versions) such as "talk to" for communicating with characters and "pick up" for collecting items between commands and the world's objects in order to successfully solve puzzles and thus progress in the game. The Secret of Monkey Island is a 2D adventure game played from a third-person perspective. The player assumes the role of Guybrush Threepwood, a young man who dreams of becoming a pirate and explores fictional islands while solving puzzles. It takes place in a fantastic version of the Caribbean during the age of piracy. The Secret of Monkey Island is a 1990 point-and-click graphic adventure game developed and published by Lucasfilm Games.
