DESCRIPTION

Featuring hand-drawn graphics presented in 1080i, a remastered musical score, and controls designed to be more intuitive, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition lets a new generation of players experience one of gaming's most revered graphic adventure franchises. Help a scrawny lad named Guybrush Threepwood realize his lifelong dream of becoming a swashbuckling pirate in this tongue-in-cheek adventure from LucasArts. Starting in a place called Melee Island, young Threepwood must complete three trials before he can become a booty-seeking buccaneer: mastering the sword, mastering the art of thievery, and mastering the art of treasure. Finishing all three will allow Threepwood to form a crew and set sail to the fabled Monkey Island, where he'll need to defeat an evil ghost pirate known as LeChuck. Trade insults with rivals, solve humorous puzzles, interact with eccentric characters, and engage in a three-way battle for the affections of a lovely lass named Elaine Marley. Fans of previous LucasArts adventures will recognize the SCUMM point-and-click interface, which involves selecting verbs from a predefined list before clicking on an object to initiate the action.

“I learned how to fight like a pirate. It took a little while to get all of the ...ammunition... so I'm wondering if there's a trick to that. Otherwise, I don't see how I'll get the Human Cannonball...”

“You can never have enough games on Steam :)”

“:) true dat

Can I just say that Steam has probably completely changed the way that I play & own games?

Laziness & cheapness ftw :)”

onemorehour was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Seriously. They routinely price things at 80% off, which is just about the point at which I can no longer make rational economic decisions. For less than $5, I'll buy games I'm pretty sure I won't like. Then you get so used to firing up whatever game you feel like that it becomes a ridiculous burden to have to go put in a disc. :P”

“I have yet to buy an actual game on steam, so I don't use it regularly. I plan on picking up a few titles, but its on the back burner till a really good deal rolls around or I get a new vid card. ”

“@onemorehour it's amazing just how annoying putting in discs can be... I've ripped most of my games to disc though annoyingly some of them have copy protection that stymies that (!!!) - Diablo 2 is an example @HIghSimSim Thanks dude!

I also like the fact that Steam has a lot of oldies and random fun indie games... including 2d platformers & arcade style games which I must admit are an obsession I never got over !”

“Well, I finished it. It certainly has its charms, but I didn't really feel besides the inane conversations and characters that it was great. As the game said at the end... Never pay more than 20...”

“I feel kinda bored with this game. Some of the conversations are funny, but I think click and point is something that doesn't grab me. Oh well, I'm gonna keep dredging through and see what happens.”

The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition (PC) by: itemzero

“Really enjoyed the humor. Most of the puzzles are pretty good, although I feel like they start to fizzle towards the end, becoming less comprehensible.”
