I can't argue but for me the original was the best because it was the first one I played. I remember playing it in 1991 and we had JUST purchased a soundcard for our 486 DX33. Blown away after using the PC speaker for so long. I remember the day this one came out, though. I finally got it on Christmas 1997. Along with a brand new Gateway 2000 233mhz. Easily one of the best days of my life. My brother and I solved it together. Something we used to do. He's long since stopped playing PC games but I never did. I'll be 40 in Feb 2023 for context. Reason I'm here is I just started playing the MI that was just released. Memory lane for sure. :)
Tales of Monkey Island was also surprisingly very good. A close second imo. They should have stuck to cartoon instead of graphics though. The Curse of Monkey Island has aged amazingly well because of this, its 24 years old and all it needs is an HD/resolution remaster.
+Thea Holmes Tree copies of the first game. Two of the second, one of the third, one of the forth and digital and DVD version of the ones by Telltale. Love them all.
+podojun Don't start bulshitting... Monkey 1 was the best. Ron Gilbert wasn't even involved in this game! Kudos to MI3 for the artwork but the rest...YIkes....
That's the one flaw with point and click adventure games IMO, they do unfortunately get less fun each play-through. I mean the writing and voice acting on this game are great, but it was SO memorable that I just can't enjoy playing it again. To get the same effect in movies you have to watch them loads of times. I guess that shows the perfect example of passive vs interactive entertainment and how its more memorably if you are more invested in the material, such as actually impacting the result.
I'm playing the monkey island 1,monkey island 2, monkey island 3 now at 2014 AND I think the games are awesome, for me it's the best game of all time and it should be played alot more.
I was confused about the beginning when I played it as a kid, and it's because every time I played I would skip the credits at the start, and what I didn't realize was that also skips the opening cutscene that plays after the credits.
I love the fact that the intro happens sometime after MI2. I wonder what happened there on that amusement park fling though, what with Guybrush and the detached bumper car?
I'll never forget that day I first saw this opening.... 1999, the new millenium's antechamber. Rumors had it than an insidious error would soon would soon render all of the Computer Systems ever made into useless paperweights (Hah!!), which caused for an overabundance of cheap PC parts, which my dear Father used to assemble a PC of the most bleeding edge I had ever seen- 64 MBs of RAM, a CD-ROM drive and one of those newfangled Pentium 2 CPUs... And with it came this game; so BIG it had not one, but TWO CDs; "This has to be the best-est-EST game EVAR", and after seeing that Intro... I realized I was right...
@@MCArt25 Very different. Same genre sure. But the quality is far off. I played some point and click games in the last decade (Book of Unwritten Tales series, Yesterday, The Longest Journey series), and nothing comes close to Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle in quality. The 90s was the golden age for these games. Even The Longest Journey games got worse after its first game released in 1999. Book of Unwritten Tales series tries, but ends up being a cheap imitation of the Monkey Island series. Some of the jokes and even taken straight from Monkey Island and you can argue Nate is a Guybrush copy.
@@MCArt25 They make quick cash grabs that pretend to be adventure games. Games like the Monkey Island trilogy, the Broken Sword series or the Space Quest series were the top of adventure games. Everything made this or last decade was just trying too hard and delivering too little.
Playing return to monkey island makes me really miss the older ones. Wish they made games now as good as they use to be. Gona have to play the old games again soon.
I didn't play this 3rd part, but Monkey Island 2 is by far the most dark/bizarre game of the saga for sure, Ron Gilbert knows his shit in storry telling, no doubt his Monkey Island 3a would beat this one.
@@ronthreepwood1179 pure essence of point&click adventures perfect humour,soundtrack,characters,gameplay it's really a point of triumph and vast sadness when you finish it knowing that this story is over nevertheless a masterpiece...
I'm starting to think they got some of Disney's Aladdin facial animations as inspiration for Guybrush. Sometimes he moves very similar to Aladdin. Not complaining.
0:18 lol, I thought it was some THX parody made by a fan in 2008. But really it was an intro for a 25 year old video game. Plus it was actually made by George Lucas Interactive. That’s even hilarious.
@@markosporn8315 It clearly needs a remaster. Not a remake, just a HD remaster so that it looks amazing on modern screens. Considering this game is about 25 years old, thats saying a LOT for the original artwork.

Same here
Got goosebumps way earlier by just reading this comment, I can relate so much.
Still relate to this comment in 2023.
I cannot remember how many times I started a new save game just to listen to the Intro back then, lol.
Still the best intro of all time.
I think I love you 😆😍

Curse is the first one I tried, and I love it deeply! Every time I burn myself in the sun I think about the map! 🤣
One of my favorite games of all time. Pure comfort food, one of the best that adventure games have to offer ❤
i wish more games were created with this art style.
Absolutely.
Have you played harveys new eyes? Not the same but i'd say it has similarities...
YES
That’s sarcasm, right?
@@wal81270 no I am dead serious.
This game lives in my head rent free since the day I played it..
I still have original copy of this game... Oh my sweet, sweet childhood...
+Thea Holmes Tree copies of the first game. Two of the second, one of the third, one of the forth and digital and DVD version of the ones by Telltale. Love them all.
Me too!
This has to be the best game intro in history, hands down.
Best game of the series in my opinion.

MrTrulac Keywords: In. My. Opinion.
+podojun I agree. I think it was the best too.
Razv T Glad to know other people think the same way :)
+podojun Totally agree.
this is one of my dearest childhood memories. i was way to stupid to solve it but it still fascinated me.
Aahh!! This game made me fall in love not only with the saga, but the genre!
Same, just want to forget all the game to restart it again and again....

Such memories playing this game back in my days 🥰
Best of the entire series. Magical.

I still play the whole series including this one. Such a great game with lot of memories.

and I'm still wondering to this day if a bumper car would actually float like that :D

And then came "Grim Fandango" ... clumsy controls but what a story,what a soundtrack,what a game... 💖
And Monkey Island 2022 was announced today by LucasArts!
Best game ever. Not cause it was an amazing game in general but because of the animation, music and characters. Mood
Oh my god, the memories! Thank you for this! This game and StarCraft thaught me english back in the day as a non-native speaker
Oh man I fucking love Elaine.
I'm crying...
What im going to type now is the biggest understatement i ever made in my life: I LOVE THIS GAME, I ADORE THIS GAME.
I could see this becoming a live action tv series one day. Possibly produced by disney or amazon. The soundtrack is amazing
Thank you Michael Land
Best intro Ever...
they don't make games like this any more
They literally still make games like this

Lechuck: Sail with me! And I'll make you Queen of the dead!
Elaine: Uh, I can't. I am washing my hair tonight.
Lechuck: *Blast be your hair, woman!*

Not 3D. And full of politically incorrect jokes plz
Apparently they've announced a sequel! Return to Monkey Island. 2022 just got a whole lot better.
THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD :DDD
Ooooh….this soundtrack…..wonderful….

See, that's my childhood, long gone.
0:00 They did not just make a parody of my “childhood nemesis” did they? ……..They did. Oh my gosh.
This was made by George Lucas’s video game company, so that means it’s official.
0:18 lol i thought it was some cmi the monkey are listening. but really it was a trailer
