Compared to many other games, they focus on crafting an interesting and enjoyable story and don't require a tremendous amount of natural skill to play. Some adventure games take themselves incredibly seriously, such as the classic CD-ROM title, Myst, but the titles that are most fondly remembered by gamers are ones that had a sense of humor, such as Grim Fandango and Sam & Max, which are infinitely quotable and fun to replay. The Secret of Monkey Island was one of the best of the '90s-era adventure games for exactly this reason. Its top-notch humor makes it a memorable and fun game to play, even to this day. The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition aims to bring this classic title to the Xbox 360 for the first time, complete with updated visuals and brand-new voice acting."
