The first and best!

The first in the now legendary series of Monkey Island point-and-click adventures, this is arguably the best in the series and which stands as an absolute must play for any fans of Discworld, Beneath a Steel Sky or Maniac Mansion. This one laid down the template for the games which followed and is notable for its wit, clever puzzles and lush visuals that really brought the pirate setting to glorious life. The game sees you in the role of classic buffoon, Guybrush Threepwood, a wannabe pirate who must complete several tasks in order to prove his worth. However, along the way, he becomes embroiled with the plans of evil dread pirate, LeChuck, and will need all his wits about him if he is to succeed. The game follows closely in the footsteps of Maniac Mansion, which introduced the SCUMM interface which uses a verb-based command system. It's a clever approach where you choose a verb from a list then combine it with an object in order to carry out a wide range of actions, and it's this system which adds much to the game's appeal. Fortunately, there's a lot more to like about the game, not least of which is the genuinely funny writing, which is clever and frequently laugh-out-loud. Guybrush makes for an endearing hero, while the supporting cast is equally as memorable and entertaining, making the most of a cracking storyline. The puzzles are mostly inventory-based, and are just as enthralling, while the multiple choice dialogues are highly entertaining, notably the classic verbal sword fighting scene. The game is very accessible as it's not possible to die here, and this is just the icing on a classic bit of cake. Definitely a must play.

Best adventure and fun game ever

Fun, humor, adventure, dialogues, graphics and a great variety of other features is what this brilliant and one of the best games is made up of. It can be easily termed as among the favorites of millions and has a lot of episodes which have been equally liked. The plot in this one is that your character wanted to become a pirate and has been dreaming of it ever since he has been a child. When he reaches the point where he is all prepared to meet his dream, his love got kidnapped and taken to the monkey island by an evil ghost. Now he gathers a crew and arranges a ship to go to the monkey island for the rescue. The plot looks quite conventional but the variety of adventure and the humor is so great that you will become a die-hard addict. The dialogues are so humorous and have been so well drafted with the scenarios that you will really laugh your heart out. Similarly the situations which your character will counter on the course will be really funny. The game is equally great in terms of the graphics which are very colorful and unique and are best for an adventure style set up. If you do not have this game in your collection, you are surely missing a lot. Tales of Monkey Island is another good episode of this great game.

Glorious buccaneering in 256 colors.

Even if you’re merely an initiate of old school adventure gaming, you’ll probably be surprised how smoothly you’ll settle into Lucas Art’s legendary Monkey Island (full title “The Secret of Monkey Island”). That’s because it has many of the hallmarks that makes up a modern point and click adventure, and is a well-written, humorous and visually attractive computer game in its own right. Using Lucas Art’s own proprietary SCUMM engine (Maniac Mansion, 1987), you guide the amusingly incompetent Guybrush Threepwood through Melee Island and beyond in his quest to prove himself worthy as a swashbuckler. Along the way he’ll fight a dastardly zombie pirate, travel the high seas and save a damsel in distress.

Guybrush explores Melee Island!

Monkey Island was a major improvement from the dozen or so screens you would get from an 80s text parser-powered King’s Quest game. Not only were the graphics within each scene sharper, but the game itself was huge, spanning two large islands. And also unlike older Sierra adventures, the puzzles were air-tight – no matter what you did, you couldn’t do something in such a way so as to permanently screw up the continuity of the game and be stuck forever. There was always a solution looming over the horizon.

And finally the humor – primarily transmitted through the writing – made Monkey Island an enduring classic. The puzzles are exceptionally well crafted as well, providing a great mix of fun and challenge. Many are item-based, some rely on you interacting with other characters and choosing the right dialog option, and a few are difficult to categorize altogether. In one puzzle you have to follow someone through the dark forest. In another you have to prove yourself by challenging random pirates into ‘insult matches’.

The Secret of Monkey Island is one of the early graphical adventures so there are no voices, only text captions for dialogue. Although it has a point and click interface it pre-dates the age of icons and uses words to build up commands instead. But it’s still remarkably simple. Also there are keyboard equivalents for all functions. In a nutshell, it is extremely easy to control with keyboard or mouse and has all the usual options for saving, restoring, adjusting music level and adjusting the amount of time text is displayed.

The original EGA graphics were very good for the time. But they became a little dated with the popularization of VGA and Lucas Arts released a new version to keep up with the top games in 1991, including Monkey Island 2 (which had fantastic graphics). The resolution was the same, but the game became much more colorful (while EGA graphics had 16 colors, VGA had 256). The EGA game is darker and may have a greater ambience because of that.

If you’ve never played it, make sure to give it a chance. To put it in another way, if you were stuck on a desert island with nothing but a 386 and Monkey Island 1 to pass the time, you would almost certainly have a lot of fun.
