I just finished The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition. I liked the story and the humor ( I really had to smile sometimes), but some of the mechanics annoyed me: 70% of the game you are walking through screens and somtimes animations and you can’t skip them! So when you are searching for something, you watch your character walking 2 minutes until you find out that you can walk all the way back and often the game itself forces you to run from one end to another… But ok, it is a pretty old game, so I guess that was normal at the time. Some of the riddles were pretty difficult for me as a adventure noob so I had to use the help-function a few times and most of the time it turned out that I just overlooked a small thing I could click -.- Overall I think it is still a good adventure and as it is pretty short you should pick it up, if you have it in your backlog.
It’s been ages since i played both versions of the game, original and steam edition. I remember it was a great adventure, had nice graphics/animations, great story and humor. Really can’t remember having problem with waiting for Guybrush to move, maybe since i played both of them with brother so there was always something to talk about :D
Overlooking something while playing is normal, had that problem in any adventure game i played. Glad you liked it in the end and that you suggest others to play it, it’s a must for any adventure game player :)
Have fun with “Challenge me” progress :D
Oh yeah, thats Monkey Island for you ;) :)
I’ve played it years ago and then again and again because I really enjoyed the game. Got the polished version of it but haven’t touched it yet again.
Glad you liked the game :)
Have fun with your next game!
Happy backlog killing :)
