The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition
Description
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.

Must have!
In my opinion, Monkey Island 1 and 2 are the best adventure games ever! I've played them so many times and never get bored. Both (Amiga and PC) versions are great. My favourite quote from Monkey Island 2: "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" :D

The Best of Comedy & Story.
This is a must have for all who appreciate classic titles. If you are looking for a game in which the story drives the game this is it. You play as a comical want-a-bee pirate as he tries to get the respect of other pirates and establish himself. The controls are easy to understand, but the puzzles it gives you will have you dying to find a walk-thru. Don't give into the temptation. All of the puzzles are solvable with a little perseverance and you will feel so much better when you take the extra 15 minutes to do it yourself. When playing this just remember the golden rule of adventure games: Try to use everything ON everything! Even when it doesn't make sense it will eventually work (often as part of a comical gag). It is also great to give to the under 10 crowd to teach them problem solving skills. Something that modern games rarely do as guides are plentiful or they only require twitch skills.
