That was the only goal George Lucas set for his twenty young, ambitious, funny and badly coiffed game designers as a framework for developing their own computer games. Lucasfilm Games, and later LucasArts, went on to become a legendary game company, in part due to the release of The Secret of Monkey Island in 1990. The most famous point'n'click adventure owes its legendary reputation to its delightfully anachronistic world full of colorful pirates and its Monty Python-inspired humor, but also simply to the fact that it revolutionized an entire genre.
"The Secrets of Monkey Island - On a caper with pixel pirates!" is a tribute to the adventures of Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate. Aber es möchte Ihnen auch in vielen Details schildern, wie Monkey Island durch seine einzigartige Erzählkunst zum Meilenstein der Videospielgeschichte wurde. It also offers the opportunity to look back at the turbulent history of LucasArts and Telltale Games, discover recipes for voodoo grog, learn interactive pirate reggae songs, shine at a swanky party among 40-year-old geeks and explore sayings as sharp as cutlasses (useful for duels or birthday parties).
