Relive the swashbuckling humorous misadventures of the wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood! Back by popular demand, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition faithfully re-imagines the internationally-acclaimed classic game. The game's twisty plot leads our naive hero on a hilarious, swash-buckling search for the fabled secret of Monkey Island. Tales of pirate wealth lure him to the port of Mêlée with high hopes, no money, and insatiable curiosity. If clever enough, he will win the confidence of Mêlée's pirates and find himself blown by the winds of fate toward the terrifying and legendary Monkey Island - an adventure that would chill the bones of even the most bloodthirsty buccaneer.
Runs well on modern hardware.

One of the best click adventure games from the 80ties. It is full of jokes and the special edition lets you jump back and forth between modern and classic look in very scene. The only downside is that some of the riddles are hard to solve and nowadays player may not have enough patience to sort them out.
You have to get a mod just to get voice acting with the old graphics style. What an obvious oversight, just makes these remasters seem like lazy cash grabs.
Guybrush Threepwood, my beloved.
