The Secret of Monkey Island
The first and best!
The first in the now legendary series of Monkey Island point-and-click adventures, this is arguably the best in the series and which stands as an absolute must play for any fans of Discworld, Beneath a Steel Sky or Maniac Mansion. This one laid down the template for the games which followed and is notable for its wit, clever puzzles and lush visuals that really brought the pirate setting to glorious life. The game sees you in the role of classic buffoon, Guybrush Threepwood, a wannabe pirate who must complete several tasks in order to prove his worth. However, along the way, he becomes embroiled with the plans of evil dread pirate, LeChuck, and will need all his wits about him if he is to succeed. The game follows closely in the footsteps of Maniac Mansion, which introduced the SCUMM interface which uses a verb-based command system. It's a clever approach where you choose a verb from a list then combine it with an object in order to carry out a wide range of actions, and it's this system which adds much to the game's appeal. Fortunately, there's a lot more to like about the game, not least of which is the genuinely funny writing, which is clever and frequently laugh-out-loud. Guybrush makes for an endearing hero, while the supporting cast is equally as memorable and entertaining, making the most of a cracking storyline. The puzzles are mostly inventory-based, and are just as enthralling, while the multiple choice dialogues are highly entertaining, notably the classic verbal sword fighting scene. The game is very accessible as it's not possible to die here, and this is just the icing on a classic bit of cake. Definitely a must play.
