	Monkey Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Monkey Island, Bray, an island in the River Thames
		The small island visible as state highway 51 crosses the Manitowish chain of lakes (across from Greer's pier) is the original monkey island, so-named in the 1960s during trips to the old gangster hideout, Little Bohemia, of John Dillinger shoot-out fame.

	Monkey Island series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Monkey Island 5
		Monkey Island 5 is currently not in production, at least that's what LucasArts says.
		You've seen four incredibly well-done versions of Monkey Island, and there's an immense amount of stories that remain to be told within that series.
		In 2002 both The International House of Mojo and The World of Monkey Island pulled off an April fools joke that made a lot of people think Monkey Island 5 was in production.

	Monkey Island 1
		The Monkey Island saga is known throughout the gaming world and is considered some of the best adventure games ever.
		Herman is a nice, but kind of stupid man. He has been stranded on Monkey Island for about 20 years and even though he has had a rowboat all this time, he has not used it.
		There is not much to do on Monkey Island, so Herman spends most of his time arguing with the Cannibals and enjoying the view.

	Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge - Review - Adventure Classic Gaming - ACG - Adventure Games, Interactive Fiction ...
		Indeed, the debut title of the Monkey Island series not only remains as an all-time favorite in the minds of many adventure gamers, it also stands as a testament that symbolizes Lucasfilm Games as the master of designing adventure game.
		Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge is not just a “mon(k)ey away from the customers” sequel; this is something really new.
		Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge is also one of the first (if not first) adventure titles from Lucasfilm Games that uses dedicated cut scenes.

	Amazon.co.uk: Monkey Island: Music: Geils (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The J. Geils Band's 1977 album "Monkey Island" was a commercial failure (it never managed to crack the top 50), but there seems to be a common consensus, even among professional critics, that it is in fact one of the band's best records.
		And the arrangements on "Monkey Island" have sanded away most of the grit of Geils' earlier recordings, too, although the good, solid R&B of "I'm Not Rough" does bring back memories of bluesier days.
		"Monkey Island" tries very hard to be a serious record, Geils' answer to The Rolling Stones' "Exile On Main Street", but all that seriousness unfortunately means that there is little or no room for the big riffs, the hooks, the grooves and the melodies that made records like "The Morning After" and "Bloodshot" so good.

	Welcome To Monkey Island Hotel, ENGLAND
		Monkey Island, an isle of peace and tranquility
		Its unique name was thought to have originated from the monkey paintings in the Pavilion, created by a French artist Andie de Clermont in the early 18th Century, for the owner at that time.
		But popular opinion has suggested that the name derives from the earliest title of the island, 'Monk Eyot,' suggesting that monks used the island, perhaps in connection with a fishery on the Thames.

	Review: Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
		Monkey Island 2 was, for me, a good news/bad news title, just like its predecessor.
		But I found the solutions to many of the puzzles in Monkey Island 2 to be obtuse to the point of ridiculousness.
		But alas, puzzles are at the heart of any adventure game, and the opaque nature of the puzzles in Monkey Island 2 really kept me from enjoying the game as much as I wanted to.

		The island boasts of so many special sites, such as the longest transoceanic ropeway in China, the charming coconut palms, the enchanting sand beach, the natural bathing place, multicolored coral reefs, and the unique fishing rafts, as well as being the monkeys' paradise.
		Because of the wild environment, the variety of plants and fruits, and numerous grottos, the island is regarded as the perfect paradise for monkeys.
		After admiring the wonderful vistas of the monkey island, you can reward yourself with a special seafood meal on the fishing rafts that is known as 'the street on the sea'.

		"Monkeys here are taking too much of the wrong food, such as human food, which is usually fatty and bad for their health," Goodall told the South China Morning Post.
		Even worse than a population explosion of fat, greedy monkeys is the likelihood of a horrible disease jumping from the macaques to the millions of humans living close by.
		Monkey attacks are common throughout Asia, and many governments have already warned of a coming epidemic passed from monkeys to people.

		The graphics and interface are exactly the same as the original Monkey Island, and has Guybrush off on a quest to find the fabled treasure of “Big Whoop”.
		Monkey Island 3 – “Curse of Monkey Island”
		Because it’s voice-acted and the graphics (the cartoony style fits the game perfectly, in my opinion much better than the 3D used in Escape from Monkey Island) are so much better, the developers had extra scope for the humour, and use it well.

	Review: The Curse of Monkey Island
		The Curse of Monkey Island is the third in the series, and the first one to appear in the Windows era.
		One of the things I most admire about the Monkey Island series is that all three of them manage to pack a tremendous amount of humor and high spirits into the proceedings while at the same time not sacrificing heavy-duty gameplay.
		Still, while you're waiting for Escape from Monkey Island to arrive in your mailbox, you could do much worse than to revisit Guybrush and pals as he attempts to lift The Curse of Monkey Island.

	CNN.com - Technology - Review: Escape from Monkey Island - November 15, 2000
		As Escape From Monkey Island opens, Guybrush Threepwood (Mighty Pirate) and his lovely new wife (and, incidentally, Governor of Melee Islandú) Elaine Marley are just returning home after their three-month honeymoon on the high seas.
		Almost immediately after setting foot on shore, the two lovebirds are accosted by Timmy the Monkey, and the delightful simian flails his arms and makes monkey noises to point out that the Governor's Mansion is under siege by catapult.
		Only once on Lucre Island (your second destination in the game) was I completely stumped, having to resort to the old "wander around aimlessly trying to use every item in my inventory on everything I walked by" method of puzzle solving.

	IMG Preview: Escape From Monkey Island
		This is why the announcement of Escape from Monkey Island, Lucas' fourth game in the popular graphic adventure series, came as such a surprise.
		The Secret of Monkey Island, the first in the series, introduced us to Guybrush Threepwood, the young and slightly goofy man striving to be a pirate.
		Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge involves you avoiding the villain while trying to find the treasure called Big Whoop (weird name, but it's the early 90's), which is sure to hold amazing powers.

	Escape from Monkey Island Preview
		The story of Monkey Island 4 begins a few months after the events in The Curse of Monkey Island, with Guybrush and Governor Elaine Marley returning from their honeymoon, only to realize that "something's rotten" on Melee Island.
		Monkey Island 4 will have only one skill level in the game, so you can forget about "Monkey Lite." The idea is that people, who played the game, played it mostly at "Hard", so there'd be no need to waste development time on the lite version.
		Sean and Mike claim that the puzzle difficulty is on par with Grim Fandango and The Curse of the Monkey Island but a bit easier than the devilishly tough Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck's Revenge.

	Grumpy Gamer
		A decade or so later, when they released the Monkey Island Madness pack with all four games, I purchased that, even thought it was for the PC and I have a Mac.
		I am a monkey island fan since I was a kid (who can forget those insult duels with Le Chuck?), and this movie is something more than inspired by that mithical videogame.
		Monkey Island and Pirates of the Carribien are both heavily based on actual history with several doses of humorous exhaggeration thrown in.

	Escape From Monkey Island (pc: 2000): Reviews
		An incredibly amusing experience from start to finish, die-hard fans of Monkey Island shouldn't let the game's new look scare them away; when it comes to heart, this is the same old Guybrush.
		Players who're new to the Monkey Island series may get the sense while playing the game that they're watching a bunch of old friends regale each other with old in-jokes; it's easy to feel as if you're being left out of the fun if you don't catch the references.
		If you're a Monkey Island fan this is a bitter disappointment and if you're not you'll wonder what on earth all the fuss is about.

	UHS: Escape from Monkey Island Review
		As you may remember, previous Monkey Island games have had "swordfighting" sequences where you won by collecting insults and responses to use against your opponents.
		The problem with Monkey Kombat is that you have to do a lot of fighting to learn the moves you need from your opponents, and to make things worse, the combinations change randomly from game to game.
		It's not the best Monkey Island, and it's probably not the best way to start the series -- especially since Curse of Monkey Island (the third title) is still available as a discount title.

		The Curse of Monkey Island, with its Saturday-morning-like animated graphics, is suitable for all ages, though the tricky puzzle solutions may be a tad obscure for younger gamers.
		The storyline, character integrity, acerbic displays of wit, and history of the Monkey Island universe were not sacrificed in the name of animation, voice acting, and graphics.
		Curse of Monkey Island is my favorite in the series, mainly for it's spectacular animation and side-splitting dialogue.

	Kids Domain Reviews - Escape from Monkey Island
		In previous Monkey Island titles, the inept pirate-wannabe Guybrush Threepwood got the girl, Governor Elaine Marley and she and her adorable numskull set off on their honeymoon.
		Solve the puzzles on Melee and head to Lucre Island, where poor Guybrush is falsely accused of bank robbery and you need to put together all the evidence to prove his innocence.
		Escape from Monkey Island is another great first person adventure in this hilarious series that combines problem solving challenges with conversational humor, puns and wit (even if some of them are groaners).

		On MONKEY ISLAND, the J. Geils Band experimented musically and wrote lyrics that delved deep into difficult issues.
		Many of the lyrics seem to be warnings against getting into dangerous situations, and have inspired me to place pictures of pretty actresses in my wallet and on my wall as a deterrent against the types of behaviors described in songs such as "Somebody", "Wreckage", and the title track.
		And the arrangements on "Monkey Island" have sanded away most of the grit of Geils' earlier recordings, too, although the good, solid RandB of "I'm Not Rough" does bring back memories of bluesier days.
