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.

great adventure, and so funny..., memorable situation and characters, remarkable to see a classic game far superior to so many recent AAA titles, it is so well written, beautiful art direction and music. At that price, yeah it is a no brainer.
As someone born in 1996 this was one of the first PC games my uncle showed me and even though I had to use all my brain and guides on the internet I LOVED this game and I still do. I'm not such a big fan of the new graphics, but I do wish theres was a way to play it with the old graphic but the voices with it ! I have played many times and I still dont get bored of it. I love you The Secret of Monkey Island !
One of the most iconic point and click adventure games of all time, in an alright remaster. The game is hilarious and still holds up to this day but the animation in the remaster is unchanged, and they just drew on top of the old sprites. This leads to the animation looking incredibly stiff. You can switch back to the original graphics at any time, but you lose the voice acting. I believe this can be restored with mods however. Still such a fun game even if it is a clunky remaster
