OK, so the solutions can be more oblique, cerebrally befuddling and occasionally adroitly testing (in as much as sometimes you need to move quickly through the menus, or risk losing your grog all down your trousers), but there's no doubting their genius.

Look, you know how when you played Portal 2, and you got to a really tough room, but then you cracked it and wow, the rush, eh? The Secret of Monkey Island has that in spades. The route to finding the Treasure of Mêlée Island, using dance steps, is simply glorious game design. Sometimes items need combining to solve a story-blocking puzzle, but once it all clicks in your head, the logic jumps up and down on the skull like a blood-lusting big cat on a children's inflatable castle: It's all you can see, terrifyingly apparent now you've noticed it. There's room enough in there for a shovel, a sword, a couple of cooking pots, a red herring (get it, you see, at the bridge, with the troll, a red herring?), a box of delicious cereal, umpteen bananas, a fantastic idol that could get you killed, if you're a fool (or simply want to see Guybrush dead), and so much more.

Monkey Island is full of stuff, stuff that you-as wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood, who I'll get onto in just a second-pick up and shove inside your blouson, a shirt with infinite pocket space. IT HAS BRILLIANT PUZZLES THAT MAKE NO SENSE, UNTIL THEY DOĬase in point: the rubber chicken. That's what you need to zip across a cable connecting the starting (chapter one) area of Mêlée Island to the small hideaway of Meathook, the Sea Monkey crew member in waiting. What you're left with is a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle. (OK, most things.) It's so perfectly streamlined, with every ounce of fat that'd get added to proceedings if it were made today left on the proverbial cutting room floor. Everything you pick up has a vital part to play in the game's progression. You'll finish it in a couple of evenings. The Secret of Monkey Island doesn't do that. But so many games get bloated through pointless distractions, needless collectibles developers swell their products with acres of shit we just don't need. Long-ass games are amazing when their worlds are constantly rewarding- Bloodborne, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and Fallout 4 all qualify from 2015.

A slightly different demo appeared in the Passport to Adventure three game sampler, which removed a cinematic sequence at the beginning and all references to the contest, but added a sixth screen and four extra unlockable doors, as well as people walking around in the city.There comes a point in every self-identifying gamer's life when they catch sight of themselves in the mirror and see the hollowness of their eyes, the paleness of their skin, the cracks in their lips, and yellowing of their nails, and conclude: I need to spend less time playing these fucking things. There are only five screens in the contest demo. A shareware demo was released as part of The Secret of Monkey Island Caribbean Summer Contest in Game Player's Guide, and your goal is to complete the demo and answer questions so that you can enter the contest. Guybrush can talk to people and use objects to solve puzzles and advance through the game.
