Back by popular demand, The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition faithfully re-imagines the internationally-acclaimed classic game (originally released in 1990) for original and new audiences alike. The development team at LucasArts is bringing the game into the modern era with an all new re-imagined contemporary art style, a re-mastered musical score, full voiceover, and an in-depth hint system to help players through the game’s side-splitting puzzles. Purists will also delight in the ability to seamlessly switch between the updated hand-drawn re-imagining and the original classic version.
The game's twisty plot leads our naive hero on a hilarious, swash-buckling search for the fabled secret of Monkey Island. Tales of pirate wealth lure him to the port of Mêlée with high hopes, no money, and insatiable curiosity. If clever enough, he will win the confidence of Mêlée's pirates and find himself blown by the winds of fate toward the terrifying and legendary Monkey Island -- an adventure that would chill the bones of even the most bloodthirsty buccaneer.
Relive the swashbuckling humorous misadventures of the wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood

This game is finally here
This game brings back alot of fond memories one of the best and funniest adventure games of all time. Guybrush and Lechuck are two of the most iconic characters and this game is why Lucasarts was one of the kings when it came to adventure games back in the 90s. So glad its finally here on GOG can't wait to get the rest in the series

Grew on me
Most people my age would know about the Monkey Island Game Series and those pixelated graphics will bring back a lot of fond and wonderful memories. I was very happy to see that GOG.com was given permission to sell the first Monkey Island. At first I HATED the new graphics and art and was very much set on the classic version only. But honestly as I played through the special edition - it really grew on me. The art does take some time to get used too, but once you are used to it and the new Verb Action Inventory system - the game is just as great as the original classic. I have the steam version but I will buy it from GOG also once the second game is also available via GOG. I hope that Money Island 3 and 4 will also come to GOG - not sure if this will happen but I really hope so. The special edition does have the F10 action key which lets you switch to the old classic version - I did this a few times only through the game - it turns out that I do enjoy the new art style. I do wish Guybrush was designed differently though - but I get the point of this particular design model. All in all its very enjoyable and I look forward to buying them from GOG when BOTH are available!

Fun point and click game!
Good writing and voice acting. Charming art style. Clever puzzles. You may need a guide if this is your first playthrough though!
