Guybrush’s adventures continue to this day, with some of the original team returning for the Tales of Monkey Island from Telltale Games. The Secret of Monkey Island can be seen as one of the greatest point and click adventures of its time, and possibly of all time (begin debate) It remains in the hearts and minds of all dedicated adventurers since the beginning of the classic pirate series from Lucas Arts, and more specifically Ron Gilbert, master of dialogue and design behind The Secret of Monkey Island. My original big boxed version for the Amiga sits proudly on my shelf o’ gaming as I write. However below are just some of my thoughts and feelings on what I think is a classic game, first played on my Amiga in the early 90’s, eagerly swapping 4 disks over and over, and pretty much the same game still being played on my PC, through Steam. It is hard to express how much I love this game, (without resorting to interpretive dance or something) and unfortunately can never do it justice. He designed and created a game I still enjoy playing through again and again, even 20 years later. I believe that Ron Gilbert is the best thing to have happened to point n’ click adventures in the entire history of the genre. This game has so many fond memories attached to it I could waffle on for days. This is probably one of the hardest reviews I’ve written on my blog.
