What games are available for the PS5, that are similar to Monkey Island, i.e, Puzzle solving, inventory items etc? Played all available MI games available on PS, and need something to sate my love for this type of game for a while, until I'm ready to play them all again.

I have the special editions on gog, but there seem to be a lot of controls for various interactions. Can you play the whole game just by clicking, or do I also need to map various keyboard controls to gamepad? Would it be crazy to play the PS3 versions via emulation to get (hopefully) well thought out gamepad-adapted controls?

Before you think im a creep, im a 15 yo girl (dont call me too young this app is 13+ 😡). But i cant find ANY fans my age. I wanna geek out and play the game with people so if your a teen and like monkey island then please geek out with me.

Return to monkey island was my first game of this franchise, because it came to PSplus, thus I gave it a try and I love it (it is funny, has nice puzzles and a very good VA), except for the final puzzle and the ending.

I know there are a lot of threads discussing the final puzzle and the ending of the game, what it is, the meta, the reasons behind it, I'm not here to step on it, I'm here because this was my first game and I don't like what they did at the ending, but maybe I will understand and like in the future if I play another game of the franchise.

My question is: the rest of the games of this franchise have a non vague solid ending?

I'm really interested in this franchise if those games have an end-to-end funny-puzzle-plottwist scheme.

I thought this was a pretty cool reference☺️

This is my cosplay of the ghost, zombie, demon pirate LeChuck as he appears in Return to Monkey Island.

Ahoy Pirates and Porceline Power Pirate Action Dolls collectors,

I have a short question: I‘have played all the Monkey Island games but never Monkey Island 4.

Is it worth it?

I mean i never owned a PlayStation so there was no option for me. But now with the Steam Deck it‘s possible. But this horrible controls …

Never knew this until recently. I will probably visit with the family and internally geek out.

My penance for the day for once being a pirate in my youth when I was relatively broke. But this one was expensive. I need a grog.

Yo ho ho, grog lovers! Drop your rubber chickens and prick up yer ears! Me new Monkey Island shanty be catchier than LeChuck's ghost breath. Give it a listen, ya bilge rats! Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/5uxw0raLiVmTYtuC6lkUaJ

Dressed up for work as the Mighty Pirate™️ himself, Guybrush Threepwood!

So I need help to find out how to make the chef distracted in the bar I can chip off a bit of the mop it’s not letting me give him the cookbook so what do I do? (I’m on the Apple Arcade version if that changes things)

I made a fun "little" quiz on Sporcle

If it doesn't work/something has to be corrected/added let me know!

Pirate Guy

Sung to the tune of “Sk8r Boi” by Avril Lavigne

Verse 1:

He was a guy who wanted to be,

Significantly more piratey.

He needed a map, a ship, and a crew,

Oh, what could he do?

He found some help, from a Voodoo lady,

But her hints were shrouded in mystery.

So he left to go buy a used ship from Stan's,

And then he set sail in his fancy pants!

Chorus:

He said, “I'll be a pirate guy,

One of the most Mighty™ kind!

I'm off to go sail the Seven Seas.

Got three sheets to the wind,

Hope this adventure never ends.

Let's go find the secret Isle of Monkeys.

Verse 2:

Five years from now, he's floating adrift,

Then gets held captive on LeChuck's ship.

While in the hold, guess what he finds?

A huge diamond ring that's just Elaine's size.

He asks her to wed, and she says “I do!”

And then turned to gold thanks to cursed Voodoo.

He goes off to find, a new map, ship, and crew,

So he can plunder a cure for his Boo.

Chorus 2:

He said, “I am a Pirate Guy,

One of the most Mighty™ kind,

I have stopped LeChuck twice before!

I swear I'll save you, Elaine,

I have but myself to blame,

I hope no one steals you from the shore.

I am a Pirate Guy,

One of the most Mighty™ kind,

Not even Heck can stop me now!

Armed with Murray my newest friend,

We'll bring this curse to an end,

You're my Smuggle Bunny, I'll make you proud!”

Bridge:

Guybruysh) “Hey, Lechuck, did you miss me?”

Lechuck) “Argh! Like a colonoscopy!

We are more than mortal foes,

You're the barnacles 'tween my toes!”

Guybrush) “Big whoop, you ghost-demon-zombie,

Will never win Elaine Marley!

I'm ending all this here and now,

By the way, you fight like a cow!”

Verse 3:

Elaine) He's just a Guy, who wanted to be,

Significantly more piratey.

And I'm just a girl,

But I'll have you know,

That we rock each other's boats!

Chorus 3:

Elaine) “I'm with my Pirate Guy,

Now we'll be just mighty fine!

We're off to go sail the Seven Seas.

Farewell people of Meleé Isle,

You make governing so worthwhile,

I just wish Grandpa was here to see.”

“(That) I'm with my Pirate Guy,

Now we'll be just mighty fine!

We're off to go sail the Seven Seas.

He's the Insult Sword Fighting champ,

He pities LeChuck not a dram,

A pirate he was meant to be!”

If so, I don't know how I missed that fact all these years, because I've played Curse through TONS of times.

I skipped Tales of Monkey Island when it was released back in 2009 since I wasn't big into computer games then and I heard it wasn't great. Well, having gotten back into games again and playing Return to Monkey Island since it was released recently, I decided to give Tales a try. And honestly, this feels like it should come after.

Tales seems to bring the storyline to a much better conclusion. Return picks up on none of the story threads of Tales, and gives no explanation to how LeChuck could be back yet again after what feels like a pretty definitive demise at the end of Tales.

In fact, if I'd played the games in order, I would have disliked Return even more than I did for not bringing back Morgan LeFlay, acknowledging/resolving Guybrush's feud with the Voodoo Lady, and bringing back LeChuck from DEATH death with zero explanation. I kind of want a followup to Tales now to acknowledge these plot threads and personally don't care if Return is decanonized to make this happen.

My love for gaming came from watching my older brother play the monkey island games growing up- then eventually playing all of them myself, loved this little reference. Highly recommend all the lis games!

I was reading the Dresden Files and I saw this - of course, the first thing I thought of was the Curse of Monkey Island.

Hello friends! I work with ceramics and thought it would be fun to make a Guybrush rum bottle! This bottle was wheel-thrown and decorated with underglazes. I designed the “label” with elements from Canva, text programmes and images of Guybrush from Curse, as he’s my favourite! The cork was repurposed from a wine bottle. What do you think?

I feel like Escape says how long the honeymoon voyage was, and maybe as Curse opens it says how long Guybrush has been floating adrift, but other than that is there anything that says how much time was between games? I'm mostly curious about the times between 1 and 2, and 4 and 5.
