| The Secret of Monkey Island | LucasArts | 1990 | I cursed my luck again as I slid down the monkey's throat. Have my dreams of guzzling grog and plundering galleons been reduced to this? "Three small trials and you're a pirate like us," they said. Fair enough. If only I could stomach the foul brew these scurvy seadogs swilled, the rest would be easy. How could I have known I'd meet a powerful and beautiful woman with a jealous suitor too stupid to realize he'd been dead for years? And how can I crawl through this great stone monkey to find a man who walks three inches above the ground and sets fire to his beard every morning? • Eye-gouging 3D graphics. • Ear-piercing reggae music. • No typing - point 'n' click interface. • Relentless jabs, and cryptic in-jokes only smart people will understand. • Average playing time: 30 hours.*** [17]*** [142]*** [22]*** [124]*** [90]*** [87]*** [33]*** [49]*** [62]*** [103]*** [82]***French CD-ROM version [22]*** [63]*** [52]*** [44]*** [37]***The first 256-color LucasArts adventure game, and the beginning of their popular Monkey Island series. Join underappreciated hero Guybrush Threepwood on his quest to become the most fearsome pirate in the Caribbean! The game features charming, clever puzzles and hilarious writing.***Great game. 5 star. If you could download it with music and all that would be fantastic. In a world where old games are nearly all dead, it is good to know that Monkey Island will not die [Reagan ] | labelimagesubject |
| Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge | LucasArts | 1991 | "I thought I'd killed the Ghost Pirate LeChuck for good. Wrong. How many times can that bloated old fool die? Other pirates tell me there's no escape. "When LeCuck wants you dead, you're dead", they say. Legend has it that the treasure of Big Whoop holds the key to great power... I must find it before LeChuck finds me." -Excerpted from "The Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood, The Monkey Island Years"*** [62]***Review for the French version.
