Monkey island game- all we need is Guybrush (Marley-)Threepwood, pirate, who is willing to do anything to fend off his arch enemy ghost/zombie/demon pirate LeChuck and save his love Elaine Marley(-Threepwood) from LeChucks evil clutches, despite the fact that as it often happens, it is Guybrush himself in trouble. Oh and Voodo lady, cant forget her.
Now add some puzzles and jokes and you get one of most hilarious puzzle game.
Bloody hell, i just love the game series. BTW, did you know, that Monkey island series also gave inspiration to much of "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies?
This game series seems to go on-off cycles though, like LeChuck: first game was launched in 1990, next game in 1991. After that it took whole 6 years (1997) and we got 3rd Monkey island game, with 4th game ("Escape from monkey island) following soon in 2000 (also one of only 2 games using GrimE engine. despite only being able to play with keyboard, still worth it). Then once more, series went to hiatus until Tales of Monkey island was released by Telltale games in 2009, with quick follow-up of remakes of both 1st and 2nd game of series.
though, it seems that this was last revival, as Disney closed LucasArts (though still holds Monkey island rights) and is more likely to continue with "pirates of the caribbean" games, though Ron Gilbert (one of creators of series) is apparently willing to make more.
So, discuss- what game you like best, which character is your favourite, walktroughs, etc.
And if you havent played the game yet, grab bottle of voodoo root beer, gather pieces of map and set sails to play the game!
