REVIEWED BY : ADRIANO MAURIZIO GRISANTI
REVIEW : Monkey Island is a classic graphical adventure game, which
uses the well known SCUM 2 interface, which is very user friendly.
Monkey Island introduced me to adventure games on my Amiga (don't
swear), and since then I have been hooked.
One thing I'd like to point out is that Monkey Island has a very
pleasant CD soundtrack (reggae), but has no speech like the box says
"full talkie", I have phoned LUCAS ARTS up and they said it doesn't
have speech in the game only text, which is a bit unfair. I have
removed my sticker off the box which says full Talkie, I don't know
if all the copies have this on them, if they do it is very unfair and
misleading.
Any way on with the review, Monkey Island is very user friendly and
is one of these adventure games were you can't die.
The story is that you are a young adventurer named Gubrush Threepwood
and have come to Melee Island to become a fierce, swashbuckling,
blood thirsty pirate. However before you can become a pirate you
must complete 3 trials before you are accepted as a pirate.
As you progress into the game your character falls in love governess
Marley, who gets captured by an evil ghost pirate named LE CHUCK,
making Guybrush work out how to rescue her, but where is Monkey
Island and how do you get there ?, all will be revealed.
The final vote for monkey Island is 7.5/10 as it is a very
entertaining game.
If you like this game and want more then don't get depressed Monkey
Island 2 is available for £16.99 along with other classic adventure
games such as Loom, space quest and police quest. All these games
are available on the KIXX label.
