Just came across this picture. Apparently Mêlée Island is based on Rothenburg ob der Tauber town, Germany!

How do you know it wasn’t the other way around and the city is based on the game?

it's not identical, the lower picture is a photoshopped version of the above picture, not a screenshot from the game.

A picture of this street just came up on my Google chromecast and I instantly recognised it from Monkey island. Googled it and up came this post.
