The Return to Monkey Island Is a Satisfying Homecoming Indeed
One of the greatest names in video game history (both literally and figuratively) is back. Guybrush Threepwood, the bumbling pirate extraordinaire, made his long-awaited comeback last week when the new point-and-click adventure game Return to Monkey Island was released to (almost) universal acclaim.
The Monkey Island games have been around for well over thirty years now as the Secret of Monkey Island was released in 1990 for most personal computers of that era, but I didn’t actually play it until the Sega CD version came ashore in 1993. There are now six games in the series itself and they all follow the humorous, piratical misadventures of the aforementioned Mr. Threepwood as he bops around from one fictional Caribbean island (with great names like Booty Island, Phatt Island, and Blood Island) to the next in search of fortune, glory, and the dreaded demon/zombie/ghost pirate
