I agree with whoever write the review cause shiver me timbers its a good game, so what if the graphics arent brilliant, WHO CARES!! The music is ace, especially LeChucks theme tune, the monkey island theme tune and the tune the ghost pirates are playing when there on LeChucks ship.

The first 3 games of the monkey island series are brilliant(escape from monkey island went too far) especialy monkey island one (the secrt of monkey island) Hilarious, wicked puzzles and unlimeted gameplay which you will find yourself forever playing! I still don’t get bored after playing each one at least 7 times. Monkey island 4 hasn’t got a well set gameplay for it has ceased the click and point option which the secret of monkey island and the others have. I recomend this game strongly to any one. cool site

I think the first Monkey Island (the secret of...) is the best. Escape from Monkey Island isn’t as good as the rest. By the way.. cool website!

i was just wondering if anyone knew where i could purchase The Secret of Monkey Island. i have the original version of the game, but since it was made back in 1990 the computers i currently have are too fast for the game. is there anywhere i can find an updated version?

I think all the Monkey Island games are brilliant. I am a bit dissapointed the way the graphics have changed throught the series of MI., I thought the graphics in the first two were revolutionary and brilliant.

Also, I was always a bit confused why you could click on the ‘table’ in the chef’s kitchen in Monkey Island 1.
