Ryan Crocker from GameGrin writes, "It pains me to admit this, but I've been playing point 'n' click adventure games for close to 30 years. That's actual decades. (Christ on a bike, man! Think of what great things you might have accomplished if you hadn't spent all that time lounging about like some pasty, goggle-eyed slug!) When LucasArts released its seminal adventure 'The Secret Of Monkey Island', I was a spotty adolescent who would routinely shun any form of social interaction in favour of sitting in the dark in front of my beloved Amiga 500. Many were the hours I spent combining a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle with a packet of breath mints in an often futile attempt to accomplish some impossibly silly task. My parents were of the view it was an embarrassing waste of time; time better spent mowing the lawn. I vehemently disagreed. I still do."
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "Endings can have a profound effect on a person's opinion on any story in any medium, from film and TV to books and video games. A great ending can elevate a story to new heights, while a disappointing one can instantly undo all the work done in the story before that one moment. Sometimes, the element that ties everything together at the end can also just be a piece of music, as proven by the following games."
Unused art, deleted scenes, and more secrets revealed.
hi so i want all of the games to be remade, on one blu ray disk and for the ps4/5 thanksss
I want to see Ron Gilbert's third Monkey Island game.
I can't overstate how much I used to love these games, the characters, the music and the adventure of them all.
same, me mum introduced me to the series out of all people haha. 3 and 4 are some of the best games xD
Played this on DOS as a kid and again with my wife when the 360 remaster was released. Great series!
Dave writes: "Holy-moley, the insult-fighting in The Secret of Monkey Island deserves the praise it gets. Anyone who’s played it can probably recite an insult from memory. The Dairy Farmer line would be in danger of being worn out, but, like most of the lines in Monty Python’s Holy Grail, the purity of its genius will always be there."
I miss those days somewhat, I bought a remastered version of monkey island recently and gosh I do like it still
