The Mysteries of Monkey Island: All Aboard to Take on the Pirates!

By Nicolas Deneschau

Behind the scenes, stories, jokes and analysis of all the Monkey Island games, including many interviews of the creators.


LucasArts has become a legendary developer in part because of The Secret of Monkey Island, which was created here in 1990. The Secret of Monkey Island, the world's most famous point-and-click adventure game, owes its reputation to its world of colourful, delightfully anachronistic pirates, to its Monty Python humour, but also, quite simply, to the fact that it revolutionised a genre.

This book is a tribute to the adventures of Guybrush Threepwood, the great pirate. But it also aims to explain why Monkey Island represents a decisive step forward in the way a story can be told through a video game. It will also look back at the turbulent history of LucasArts and Telltale Games, discover a few recipes for voodoo toddy, learn interactive pirate reggae songs, shine at a social gathering of forty-something geeks and discover lines as sharp as a boarding sword (useful for duels or birthdays).
