The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition

Honestly, I felt with the graphic update it lost most of its charm.

The Secret of Monkey Island has been a reference for adventure point and click games. I enjoyed playing the original game in the early 90s when I was a chlid and I still do enjoy with it. Good puzzles, great humor, original trials to be a pirate, a George Lucas cameo (find him!), entertaining characters and loads of grog!

The remake is bad, but it does include new voice acting, which is great, but can't be used with the classic version. However, this is easily fixed by installing the Ultimate Talkie version (http://gratissaugen.de/ultimatetalkies/monkey1.html). You can download ScummVM at https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/. Just make sure to enable both the speech and subtitles in ScummVM and press F5 to load, save and quit the game.

Modern adverture games are measured up to this game.

I never wanted to be a pirate as a kid! I don't like pirate movies (except Pirates of the Caribbean), games etc., but when I stumbled upon Monkey Island I fought: let's give it a go! I'm not sure whether Curse of Monkey Island or this episode I played first. In my opinion the first episode along with third the best Monkey Island adventures. Back to Secret of Monkey Island: Melée Island with Scumm Bar is gorgeous! Guybrush keeps his silly optimizm even at the worst situations. Not to forget about LeChuck... the baaad guy. To me he's like Kevin McCallister left unattended from his parents, with some of his evil plan. I am sure you'll never forget Stan's merchandise, Meathook vicious Beast, the shopkeeper on Melée, or the verbal fighting! Voice acting is up to most animated films. Dominic Armato get a hang of his character completely and others as well. Soundtrack say memorable fit into the game. Has anyone found out what the secret of Monkey Island?
