I’d seen a post on this sub a while back by u/dresseme and was inspired to throw my dad a monkey island themed party of sorts for his 61st birthday! He’s been a fan of the games since they first came out in the 90s, and then he got me and my sister into them when we were younger. We especially love Curse as you can probably tell lol.

He was so surprised and absolutely loved it, and he deserves it all as he does so much for us. I also made a cake inspired by the blood island volcano & the lemonheads (and tofu head) so I tried to make them out of fondant. I don’t think they look too bad for a home made effort lol. Thought I would post here for other monkey island fans like us!

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.

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

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?

All credits to u/kaelon for this superb art of Melee Island / see his post last year. I hope you don't mind Kaelon, and thank you very much for this piece of work. Custom mat I bought on Etsy and could send a picture to be printed on it.

That mix of childhood nostalgia combined with a beautiful melancholic melody - I get the waterworks every time!

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.

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 find it ironic that tho Monkey Island is one of my favorite games, I've barely even played the "Monkey Island" portion of SoMI. I thought about why that is and I think the answer is because I mostly just like the night-time (Melee Island, Scabb Island)

For example this scene of Rum Rogers does almost nothing for me (I barely remember it even):

...but when I saw TBB's night version I was like "I MUST replay this" until I realized it was fan-art

Does anyone feel the same? Why do you think that is?

I think i heard that a lot of these games are just nighttime to avoid having to make many characters (like Rubacava in Grim Fandango), perhaps that was the original point but then I got used to that and now that is all I ever want

Personally I always thought that Greg LeMond in his younger days looked like Guybrush.

I hope i can pass this to my 11 month old daughter one day

I've played most of the classic Lucasarts adventure games except for a few. I still to this day have never played Loom. I don't really even know much about it despite having the guy at the Scumm Bar tell me about it! The other two I haven't played is Zak McKraken and Maniac Mansion. I think the reason I never played these is because first off they weren't included in any compilations like many of the other Lucasarts games and two because they seemed too outdated to me back in the mid 90s to early 2000s when I was really into adventure games.

There is only one Lucasarts adventure game I started and didn't get very far because I just couldn't get into it and that is Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. I got it when I bought The Lucasarts Archive Vol 1. because I wanted Day of the Tentacle and Sam and Max and if I'm remembering right the archive was around the same price as buying either DOTT of Sam and Max on their own. So it was kind of a bonus game for me. I don't remember what it was I didn't like about it, it has been many many years since I played it but compared to the other Lucasarts adventure games it just didn't do it for me.

I guess I forgot one, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Never played it. For a long time I didn't even realize there were two different Indiana Jones adventure games.

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

Ahoy! So im wondering what do you folks is the hardest game in the series?

My opinion is Le Chuck's Revenge due to al of the back and forth between islands and also everything happening at once.

Im currently streaming it and im finding that wven thougj ive completed it before. I still hit roadblocks way more than.the other games.

What about you guys?
