To all those who think this masterpiece can't actually be finished without some walkthrough, I will say this: I started playing it when I was only 8 (1992), and it got me so hooked I could barely stop. It revolutionised my gaming experience and nothing I have played since has matched the feeling I got when I first played it.

I can't praise The Secret of Monkey Island highly enough. But if you are an adventure gamer then this can only be on the top of your list. If it isn't your cup of tea then that is fine, some of my best friends didn't particularly like it either. It was that this game provided a level of immersion that I had never experienced before in a game.Īnybody who doesn't like this game, simply can't comprehend what a true adventure game is all about. The fact that you can't actually get inside and see didn't really matter. There are bright windows in that building and I can remember wondering what was happening inside when I first played this game. There is Guybrush on the wooden bridge with a wooden building behind him. Take the third screenshot down on this page. It isn't just the incredible immersion that the storyline offers, or the quality of the graphics, or the brilliance of the music, or the unparalleled characterisation - it is the complete experience of playing it.

This is quite simply the greatest game ever made for the Amiga (and most other platforms).
