With Curse of Monkey Island the games gained a more cartoony art style, but the Sea Cucumber's still a proper looking pirate ship and needs a crew to operate. The Sea Monkey from Secret of Monkey Islandisn't the most seaworthy of vessels but it looks the part.

The ships in Monkey Island have always been halfway authentic, with ropes and rigging everywhere and plenty of deck space for deck chairs. Also why are both characters on micro-galleons with no crew?

I'm 90% sure they've hired a new LeChuck for this game and he's not really working for me! His 'har har har's in particular sound relatively joyless and tame (and I don't like his lips). He's captured ex-governor Elaine Marley-Threepwood's ship, along with the ex-governor herself and a boatload of monkeys, and dorky pirate protagonist Guybrush Threepwood is in pursuit! (Click the screenshots to view them at a higher resolution.)Īnyway, the game begins in medias res, with the Ghost and/or Zombie Pirate LeChuck carrying out a sinister voodoo ritual deep in the Caribbean. Oh hang on, there are two things I remember: I remember a doctor’s chair puzzle being good and a map puzzle being terrible. I’m certain I've finished it before but I hardly remember a thing about it right now so I may struggle a bit. I'm going to be playing through the whole first episode today, so I'll likely end up spoiling all of it. They're owned by Disney now though and they've let Double Fine remaster Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle, so who knows what's going to happen next with Monkey Island. And thus the world was blessed with a brand new Monkey Island adventure! LucasArts managed to release Special Editions of Monkey Island 1 and 2 around the same time as well, before their next change of management led to a renewed focus on Star Wars dance games or whatever. Telltale Games was actually formed due to LucasArts' belief that adventure games were over, but after they proved otherwise with games like Sam & Max: Save the World LucasArts' new president was willing to lend them the keys to their top pirate-related game franchise. Well it's relatively new it's still six years old now. This week on Super Adventures, I'm jumping from the oldest Monkey Island of ancient Lucasfilm times to the shiny new one from Telltale: Tales of Monkey Island.
