A Pirate Adventure for consoles and PC by Lucasfilm Games in the Monkey Island series
In the Caribbean island of Mêlée IslandTM Guybrush Threepwood is determined to become a pirate. Seeking out the Pirate Leaders Guybrush begins an adventure which includes haggling a salesman down for a boat, freeing 'innocent' pirates from jail, escaping the capture of cannibals and escaping an attempt to end his life at the ocean floor.
The game was made accessible to all; Guybrush cannot die1, no game over screens and there is no way to get stuck (apart from genuinely being stumped on how to progress).
Produced in 16-bit color for the PC (as well as coming out on the Amiga, Atari, MAC and the Mega-CD for the Sega Mega Drive) the title fused humour with a simple point and click interface to create a very memorable pirate adventure.
