		The Secret of Monkey Island was the game that introduced me to the Adventure genre, and since then I've purchased, downloaded or borrowed as many of them as I could find.
		The Secret of Monkey Island is a great game to introduce newcomers to this genre; it contains difficult but not impossible puzzles, an excellent sense of humor, bright, colorful environments, and a first-rate musical score.
		Throughout all of the adventures in the Monkey Island universe, you assume the role of would-be pirate Guybrush Threepwood.

	Review:
		The Secret of Monkey Island, released by LucasFilm Games in 1990, is one of the most beloved games in the entire adventure game canon.
		After these things are accomplished, the plot finally kicks in, with evil LeChuck kidnaping the pretty governor of Melee Island and spiriting her off to Monkey Island.
		A particularly amusing highlight is a group of nutrition-minded cannibals on Monkey Island.

	Monkey Island Games
		Escape From Monkey Island is the fourth in the well respected series that stretches way back to the days of the Amiga.
		Monkey Island looks damn good in 3D, and any fans of the series worried that it would affect the game can rest assured - it looks much better and plays as good as it always has.
		Escape from Monkey Island continues in the hilarious tradition of its critically hailed and award-winning predecessors, The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck’s Revenge, and The Curse of Monkey Island.

	The Secret of Monkey Island
		Obviously, The Secret of Monkey Island was designed as much for fun as for nail-biting adventure.
		Melee Island's village looks cartoonishly ominous beneath a lovely, star-strewn sky, with shady pirates and their pet rats hanging out or roaming the streets.
		The Secret of Monkey Island is good fun and may have you laughing as you study to become a high-seas terror, so hoist the mainsail and post a lookout.

	, ergo we can't include 'quandaryheader.html' like we do elsewhere -->
		Although The Secret of Monkey Island is 'yellowing' a bit with age, particularly the graphics, it is still a delightful game and the puzzles still tripped me up a couple of times even though I have played it before.
		Nevertheless, you'll need to find your way to the mysterious Monkey Island, make friends with a monkey, placate the vegetarian cannibals (well they don't eat red meat); and confront the evil LeChuck and his 'cadaverous' band of pirates who are ruling the seas.
		The Secret of Monkey Island is one of the early graphical adventures so there are no voices, only text captions for dialogue.

		Monkey Island 1 was the third adventure game by LucasArts, a game inspired by the Pirates of the Carribean Walt Disney World theme park ride.
		He finds the nearest pirate leaders, who just happen to be in the nearest bar drinking grog, and asks that they enlist him in their pirate crew.
		But before he can do anything about it, she is kidnaped by an undead corpse pirate named LeChuck and his bony skeleton crew, and whisked away to their hideout under the cursed, cannibal-ridden Monkey Island.

	The Secret of Monkey Island ( Monkey Island 1 ) Review - Mr. Bill's Adventureland
		The original in the now legendary 'Monkey Island' series, it was first published in 1990 and so has older graphics, by today's standards, and uses subtitles (& music!) instead of voice.
		He has visions of sailing the seven seas in search of booty, handily defeating all comers with his expert swordsmanship, happily swilling grog with his cronies, and of course being loved and admired for all of this by a beautiful woman.
		Both Monkey Island 1 (Secret of Monkey Island) and Monkey Island 2: Lechuck's Revenge were available on a CD named Monkey Island Madness along with 5 other CDs (The Dig; Full Throttle; Dark Forces; Afterlife; and a Super Sampler) in

	Four Fat Chicks -- The Secret of Monkey Island Review
		He directs you to the SCUMM bar, where you get three missions to complete from three disreputable, grog-drinking, "important looking pirates." You also learn that the pirates are unable to ply their trade because the ghost pirate LeChuck has been patrolling the nearby waters, hoping to make off with the toothsome Governor Elaine Marley.
		You vow to rescue her, assemble a crew, and set off for Monkey Island.
		There, you must befriend a castaway, a monkey, and some cannibals to further your mission; when you have obtained what you need, you descend into the bowels of hell to destroy LeChuck and reunite with your sweet Elaine.

		Now I've heard from quite a few people that the Monkey Island games are all quite good (except maybe the last one) so needless to say, when I saw I could pick all them up for that much money, I didn't waste any time in getting them before somebody else did.
		Nah, the good thing about the Monkey Island games (and almost all Lucasarts adventure games) is the great game design, where you're given plenty of opportunities to pick up what you need to use later, and you have very few places where you can actually die.
		For the version of the game I have (which has this and Monkey Island 2 on the same CD-ROM), they updated the music from the old DOS internal speaker stuff to CD music tracks, and all of it sounds really good.

	RPGFan Reviews - The Secret of Monkey Island
		Apparently, the LucasArts employees thought otherwise, and so The Secret of Monkey Island was reborn, and sadly, it was quite an ugly baby.
		Even though he lacked courage, brains, physical strength, and a proper understanding of pirate lingo, he knew that some day he would be a fearsome pirate, and thus his spirits were high when he set foot on the looter-friendly soil.
		Combining a fine mixture of funky reggae with pirate sea shanties and island rhythms, this is definitely not your usual musical fare.

		Monkey Island lacked speech, but the sound effects and music were pleasant and added greatly to the pleasure of the game.
		The Secret of Monkey Island is a much different than Loom.
		Monkey Island, on the other hand, is deeply polished and just glows with creative wit.

		The SCUMM engine made the evolutionary Monkey Island graphics come to life with blocky character graphics and intricate backgrounds.
		But the blocky graphics (which looked quite impressive at the time) proved to be a godsend for players of the game; objects could be easily picked out from the background and made the quest that little bit easier.
		After meeting three hardened pirates (and learning the secret ingredients to grog — it involves battery acid) you’re told that in order to become a pirate you have to do three things: find the treasure of Melee Island, find an idol in the governor’s mansion and beat the Master Swordfighter of Melee Island - Carla.

	GamesFirst! \|\| That Retro Review: The Secret of Monkey Island \| The Secret of Monkey Island \| PC,
		In part 3 "Under Monkey Island" Guybrush meets some vegetarian Cannibals, a shrunken head with a necklace, and, in what will be a running gag through the series, the second biggest monkey head he's ever seen.
		Monkey Island, for me, has always been about the running gags, the subtle, subversive inside jokes, and the insult sword fighting.
		There is so much to like about The Secret of Monkey Island, especially for an older crowd with fond memories of playing graphic adventures when they were young, that anything but playing is really a disservice.

		Though Maniac Mansion introduced the point-and-click interface, Monkey Island brought a refreshing new sense of humor to the adventure genre.
		Other now-famous gags are the appearance of a three-headed monkey, and Guybrush's ability to hold his breath for 10 minutes.
		Another great thing about Monkey Island is its hilarious cast of characters; some of the funniest include the fortune-telling Voodoo Lady, the pantsless castaway Herman Toothrot, and Guybrush's lazy, mutinous crewmates.
