Curse of Monkey Island, The

Welcome aboard The Course of Monkey Island! If ye be seeking skullduggery, wenching, violence, and foul language… go to a fraternity party! But if ye be in search of humourous piratey adventure with a hapless hero, a vile villain, perplexing puzzles and more anachronisms than ye can shake a mizzenmast at, then ye have come to the right game! Settle your laptop firmly onto the starboard yardarm, make sure your galley be fully provisioned with nachoflavoured hardtack nibbles, and we’ll set sail for fun!

In the first game, The Secret of Monkey Island, wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood showed up on Mêlée Island seeking instruction in his chosen craft of pirating. While passing the pirate entrance exam (treasure hunting, sword fighting, and thievery), Guybrush met the love of his life, Governor Elaine Marley. Unfortunately, he also ran into his archenemy, the Undead Pirate LeChuck, who had kidnapped Elaine. With the help of the Voodoo Lady and some other friends—like Stan, the obnoxious used galleon salesman—Guybrush defeated LeChuck, scattering his spirit to the Caribbean winds.

In the next installment, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, Guybrush appeared on Scabb Island and became obsessed with hunting for the legendary treasure of Big Whoop. In the process, he nearly lost the love of the beautiful Elaine and unwittingly aided LeChuck’s first mate, Largo LeGrande in the zombie resurrection of the Undead Pirate. Only through the aid of the Voodoo Lady and the myopic cartographer, Wally, was Guybrush able to survive. Nonetheless, Guybrush ended up hexed by LeChuck, believing himself to be a little boy trapped in the Carnival of the Damned.

Now, in The Curse of Monkey Island, somehow Guybrush has escaped and once again found his true love… whose fort is under attack by the forces of the zombie pirate. Can Guybrush defeat LeChuck? Will Elaine take him back? Will Guybrush ever learn the secret of Monkey Island? And how come Guybrush looks so much taller in this game?
