Rememer the nimrod Guybrush Threepwood and his lady love the Governor Elaine Marley? Not to mention the terriba-ba-ble Pirate LeChuck.

Now i’ve only played bits and pieces of Escape from Monkey Island. But this game is sure lots of fun. The game is by the same man who created Star Wars and its probably as old as that film lol. A game with wit and humour what more can i ask for. I think the most memorable bits of Monkey Island had to be the insult sword fights and insult arm wrestling. lol.!

“Insult: I usually see people like you passed-out on tavern floors.
Comeback: Even BEFORE they smell your breath?”

Anyway here is the scoop on Monkey Island. There is technically two new games out. One is the Monkey Island Special Edition which is sorta like a remake of the first game entitled Secret of Monkey Island. I’m not sure if they are going to remake part 2 of Monkey Island though….

The first two games were on DOS and since we are now in the period of Vista we can’t find that anymore let alone play it. But with the Monkey Island Special Edition you not only get to play the game which has been lost to us so long ago but for those hardcore fans you can view it in pixeled format. Pretty much like the image above.

The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is an enhanced remake of The Secret of Monkey Island for the PC, Xbox Live Arcadeand iPhone/iPod touch developed internally by LucasArts and released on 15 July 2009. The remake was announced on the first day of the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo along with the episodic Tales of Monkey Island (I’ll talk more about this in another post!)

Just have a watch at what’s in store!

And here is what some of the screenshots look like of the game You can view more at Gamespot

These two have got to be the most ridiculous canon brothers ever.
