The Secret of Monkey Island

The Good
The graphics at the time were rich and to some extent still are. I had gotten the multimedia version of monkey island on CD with improved sound. It was and still is the most immersive music of any game I've played. The whole key to adventure games is the story and Monkey Island has a brilliant story that makes you want to continue.

The Bad
Not much. The only thing a little annoying was the parsar for the game, it has currently been replaced in the Curse of Moneky Island with a neat little coin thing, but at the time the game was created it was actually alot better than having to remember what words to type in.

The Bottom Line
I would describe the game as being an action-adventure game with multiple third person-perspectives. With an original story line about a boy named Guybrush, trying to make it as a pirate and gets swept into adventure when the love of his life, Elaine, becomes captured by the evil pirate Lechuck.
