I'm sure any child growing up in the 90s will remember Monkey Island. Monkey Island 1, released in 1990 by LucasArts, is to this day, the best adventure game ever created. Lucasarts is well known for other adventure games such as "The Day of the Tentacle", "Maniac Mansion", "Full Throttle", "Dig", "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis", "Grim Fandango" and much much more, but none will influence the world as Monkey Island has. Pirates, Treasure, Love, Glory! What more can one want other than names such as Guybrush Threepwood and his arch enemy the pirate LeChuck. Not only is the gameplay terriffic, the script is entertaining, the plot is gripping and the characters superb!
Plenty of websites have been dedicated to this game with fanart, fangames and the discussion of the release of Monkey Island 5! Will it ever happen? If you have not played this game I would strongly recommend it to anyone: to children, to adults and to people of all ages. Hearing the soundtrack today still brings a tear to my eye and fills the room with an unforgettable atmosphere. Filled with Insult-Sword Fighting ("I've spoken with apes more polite than you."
"I'm glad to hear you attended your family reunion.") this game is perfect for any one searching for a few laughs and adventure!
