THE MYSTERIES OF MONKEY ISLAND: ALL ABOARD TO TAKE ON THE PIRATES!

Nicolas Deneschau, Larry Ahern (Foreword), Guadalupe Gema Gil (Spanish Translator)



 

"Do whatever you want, but do cool stuff!" - George Lucas, May 1, 1982.


This is the only objective set for these twenty designers, young, ambitious, funny and badly groomed. Lucasfilm Games™ then LucasArts™ will become a legendary developer, among other things because it was on its premises in 1990 that The Secret of Monkey Island ™ was created. The best-known of the Point & Click adventure games , which owes its reputation to its universe of colorful pirates, deliciously anachronistic, to its humor straight inherited from Monty Pythons, but also, quite simply, because it revolutionized a genre .


This book is a tribute to the adventures of Guybrush Threepwood™, genius pirate. But he also wishes, with great pretension, to explain to you why Monkey Island represents a decisive step in the way of telling a story through a video game. It will also be an opportunity to look back on the tumultuous history of LucasArts, Telltale Games, to discover some voodoo toddy recipes, to learn interactive pirate reggae songs, to shine at a social evening among forty-something geeks and discover replicas as sharp as a cutlass (useful for duels or birthdays).
