Monkey Island is the namesake and the most well-known location in the Monkey Island series of adventure games.
The south end of the island is mainly covered by jungle, at the west end there is a volcano, at the east end lies the famous Giant Monkey Head and located at the north end of the island is the cannibal village.

Curse of Monkey Island, the third game in the series, was released six years after the original two games, complete with updated 2D graphics and recorded dialogue.
The real Secret of Monkey Island is still unknown, and will probably never be known by anyone but original creator Ron Gilbert, who produced the first two games.
The location of Monkey Island has been figured out by the Aglamians, by using the coordinates given in the demo of SoMI, however these coordinates are believed to be incorrect, as the resulting location is nowhere near the Caribbean.

 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.

 Amazon.com: Monkey Island: Music: J. Geils Band   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
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 RandB 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.

 IGN: Escape From Monkey Island Review
Fans of Monkey Island could see the game in old pixilated form forever, and never squeak a word of complaint towards their sacred (monkey) idol.
Even the last Monkey Island island game, while providing great dialogue and some fine-tuned animation, still had some surly fans complaining that the long n' tall Guybrush wasn't "Monkey Island" enough, when compared to earlier versions.
The point here is that LucasArts has traditionally kept the Monkey Island series intact in terms of style and flavor while making minor updates, and you'll be happy to know that the latest game does just that.

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.
