Tool used to use a zip line in the first game and a running joke through the rest of the series.

Brilliantly weird games.  I love the humor and the wacky ingenuity it takes to work through them.  It's like taking a look at the lighter side of Zork or Myst.

Goodbye cruel adventure gaammm..... oh nevermind.

:::singing::: Oh..... There's..... A....... Monkey in my pocket, he's stealing all my change. His stare is blank and glassy, I think that he's deranged.....

With the exception of the singing, rhyming pirates, that was THE best part. Well, 2nd best part, the whole Donkey Mask thing was great too.

Never played that one, but the version in the above pic looks quite similar to a game that I HAVE played:  Day of the Tentacle. I remember playing that one on our old,old,old Win 95 system. Was quite good fun, and the graphics and layout look almost the same.

It gets worse, in the third game there are Vegetarian Cannibals and a map made from the surburned skin of a (then) very pale theater agent.

Yeah, just no explaining it, is there?

Look behind you! A three-headed monkey!

I'm selling these fine leather jackets...

How appropriate, you fight like a cow!

Wow! That's the second-biggest (insert random item here) I've ever seen!



Yes, I have played all the Monkey Islands ^_^

Shame though that LucasArts have abandoned such a great series in order to make Star Wars game after Star Wars game after Star Wars game after....
Although they have said that they may return to Monkey Island.
In 2015..... (I just remain hopeful as Ron Gilbert has stated that the Secret has yet to be revealed, and that he wants to release another game in order to do that... And the Voodoo Lady's constant references to her "Five-game contract"! :LOL:)

I first looked at this and thought you were talking about Super Monkey Ball

I've played that, but not the Monkey Island that you speak of
