Back by popular demand, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition faithfully re-imagines the internationally-acclaimed classic game (originally released in 1990) for original and new audiences alike. The development team at LucasArts is bringing the game into the modern era with all-new HD graphics, a re-mastered musical score, full voiceover, and an in-depth hint system has been added to help players through the game’s side-splitting puzzles. Purists will also delight in the ability to seamlessly switch between the updated HD graphics and the original’s classic look.
The game's twisty plot leads hero, Guybrush Threepwood, on a hilarious quest throughout the fabled Monkey Island. Tales of pirate wealth attract Guybrush, who lands at the port of Mêlée with high hopes, no money and an insatiable desire to become a pirate. If the player is clever enough, Guybrush will win the confidence of Mêlée's established pirates and soon find himself blown by the winds of fate toward Monkey Island — a storied isle whose name alone chills the bones of even the most bloodthirsty buccaneers.

The Secret of Monkey Island now that takes me back.
We bought that game for our son when it was first released. I kept going wrong and ending up back at the ship and found it totally beyond me whilst he just kept going forward the little smarty pants. I wonder if he would like it for his 28th birthday present. A blast from the past.

Now this was a game the whole family wanted to play..oooh the squabbles and that was just the adults...
I wonder if they could be persuaded to do the same for the first two Simon the Sorcerers?

1) Have you ever played a point and click adventure game
..a. Did you enjoy it?
2) Do you like piratey adventure?
If you answered yes to either 1 (if 1 then a as well) and 2 then you'll probably like it
