About The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition

✦ AI summary

Search for the legendary Secret of Monkey Island as wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood, solving hilarious puzzles while romancing the governor and facing off against an evil ghost pirate. This Special Edition brings the 1990 classic into the modern era with stunning hand-drawn animation, a re-mastered orchestral score, full voice acting, and the ability to instantly switch between the new art style and the original version.

Back by popular demand, The Secret of Monkey Island™: Special Edition faithfully re-imagines the internationally-acclaimed classic game (originally released in 1990) for original and new audiences alike. The development team at LucasArts is bringing the game into the modern era with an all new re-imagined contemporary art style, a re-mastered musical score, full voiceover, and an in-depth hint system to help players through the game’s side-splitting puzzles. Purists will also delight in the ability to seamlessly switch between the updated hand-drawn re-imagining and the original classic version.
The game's twisty plot leads our naive hero on a hilarious, swash-buckling search for the fabled secret of Monkey Island. Tales of pirate wealth lure him to the port of Mêlée with high hopes, no money, and insatiable curiosity. If clever enough, he will win the confidence of Mêlée's pirates and find himself blown by the winds of fate toward the terrifying and legendary Monkey Island -- an adventure that would chill the bones of even the most bloodthirsty buccaneer.

You fight like a dairy farmer!
Recommended Sep 1, 2026
Simply superb point and click adventure. Phenomenal music and art style with fun and enjoyable voice acting. The puzzles could get a bit out there at times but they have a very well made hint system for such occassions, making sure it does not spoil the entire current objective unless asked for, However, the main highlight of this game has got to be the humour, I was genuinely blown away at how well it held up. There were several times where I let out an audible laugh and every joke at least got a smirk out of me. Truly enjoyable, 8.5/10

Fantastic game

Fantastic! Fond memories of the first in the Monkey Island series. Love that the MI Special Edition still holds up for a routine playthrough in 2026. Would love to see some remakes in the not too distant future for the others that need it. Brand new games are welcome as well!
