Having barely escaped LeChuck's dreadful amusement park, Guybrush Threepwood finds himself stuck in the middle of the sea, with nothing in his boat but a sausage and a diary. Musing over the events that have led him into this predicament, Guybrush suddenly discovers a ship navigated by none other than his archenemy. Once again, Guybrush saves his beloved Elaine from the claws of his undead rival. In the midst of the treasure that belonged to the defeated foe Guybrush finds a ring. Overwhelmed by his love to Elaine, he proposes marriage to her and gives her the ring. What he doesn't know is that the ring is cursed; before he is able to realize what is happening, Elaine is turned into a gold statue. Will Guybrush be able to lift the curse and to save his one and only love?

This third installment of the Monkey Island is, like its predecessors, a humorous puzzle-solving adventure game. The game features cartoon-style SVGA graphics and (for the first time in the series) voice-overs for all the conversations. The interface no longer involves a list of verbs that occupies a part of the screen; instead, it follows the same principle as in Full Throttle: the player chooses first the object to interact with, then the action from a menu that appears. Like the second game, The Curse of Monkey Island has two difficulty levels.

Trivia

There's a bug in the game, in the mega monkey mode that allows you to get 2 gold teeth from Blondebeard insted of one .. here's how : offer the jawbreaker then the gum to Blondbeard then break his bubble with the pin and the gold tooth will fall. Pick it up. Next chew the gum and offer the chewed gum to Blondbeard. He will refuse but chew it anyway. When he blows his next bubble you will see the second gold tooth in there. Float the gold tooth you have out the window as usual. After retrieving it in the mud puddle return to the chicken shop. Blondbeard will still be blowing a bubble with the second tooth in it. Pop it with the pin and you have two teeth.
