The Secret of Monkey Island
DOS version
A complete classic in every way.
The Good
This game is halarious, and an absolute classic. Lucasarts went a large step further from their early graphic adventures such as Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken. You play the role of Guybrush Threepwood, a young pirate wannabe that sets foot on Melee Island to find his fortune. It's a game with puzzles, but a game with humor and just plain "funness" in it. It makes the game more enjoyable. And after you''ve beaten the game, you will still keep coming back and back to it. The game grows on you, and after awhile the characters are like family.
The Bad
Hey, look behing yoou! A three-headed monkey!
The Bottom Line
If you've never played an old graphic adventure and are stuck in th realm of 3-D, "cool" graphics, and all other modern stuff, do yourself a favor and playvthis game. You'll be glad you did.
Highly recommended
