I barely escaped LeChuck's dreadful amusement park. I am now stuck in the middle of the sea, with nothing in my boat but a sausage and the diary I'm writing now. Oh my beloved Elaine, where are you?!.. If I only could hear your voice again, I'd die as a happy man...

But not all is over, Guybrush Threepwood! The mighty pirate-wannabe from the first two games is back in his third adventure. And so is his archenemy LeChuck. 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 fiend 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 legendary series features a similar kind of gameplay with wacky characters and insane puzzles. The interface is more simple and comfortable, and the graphics are now sharp, cartoon-style SVGA.

Trivia

In Monkey Island 3: Curse of Monkey Island, when you enter the dialogue with LeChuck in part V of the game, Guybrush threatens LeChuck that should he kill Guybrush, there will be no more sequels and LeChuck's name will be forgotten, just like Bobby Threadbare's. Bobby Threadbare, of course, is the name of the main character in Loom, and thanks to the unfortunately low sales of Loom, there never was a sequel. I thought it maybe a little disrespectful from LucasArts to talk in such a way about one of their best games that never got its fair share of praise.
