The Secret of Monkey Island
The Secret of Monkey Island is a 1990 point-and-click graphic adventure
game developed and published by Lucasfilm Games. It takes place in
a fictional version of the Caribbean during the age of piracy. The
player assumes the role of Guybrush Threepwood, a young man who
dreams of becoming a pirate, and explores fictional islands while
solving puzzles.
The game was conceived in 1988 by Lucasfilm employee Ron Gilbert,
who designed it with Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman. Gilberts
frustrations with contemporary adventure titles led him to make the
player characters death almost impossible, which meant that gameplay
focused on exploration. The atmosphere was based on that of the Pirates
of the Caribbean theme park ride. The Secret of Monkey Island was the
fifth game built with the SCUMM engine, which was heavily modified
to include a more user-friendly interface.
Critics praised The Secret of Monkey Island for its humor,
audiovisuals, and gameplay. Several publications list it among
the greatest video games of all time. The game spawned a number of
sequels, collectively known as the Monkey Island series. Gilbert,
Schafer and Grossman also led the development of the sequel Monkey
Island 2: LeChucks Revenge. LucasArts released a remake of the
original in 2009, which was also well received by the gaming press.
