Curse of Monkey Island - No Commentary Play Through

[@szerelem5740]

GUYS. I studied Hotel and Tourism management because of this game. I had no clue after high school what the fuck I want to do with my life, but I remembered how cool was this Hotel on the Blood Island, and because of that I entered to the hospitality industry. Later on I went to the Seychelles Islands for living/working for 6 months BECAUSE OF THIS GAME. My dream was to live on an Island. This game guys had a HUGE imprint on my life. I remember playing with this game as a 6-7 years old kid with the neighbour kid. We always helped each other whenever either of us found a new puzzle, he came over, or I went to his place and showed the way. Oh gossh How I love this game!!!! Even now at age 27 I'm studying spanish now and downloaded this game and finished it in spanish just to practice the language. Cheers all!!!

The pre-internet review era where you just bought a game and hoped for the best. I remember being totally blown away by this amazing game.

[@krashd]

Before the internet we had magazines and cover disks so not only was there still reviews but you got to play a demo of a game before you bought it, it is rare to see that these days because most games are unpolished messes at launch. Admittedly games are a million times more complex these days and far harder to test for all bugs.

[@milfhunter012]

hahaha I felt that! :D As a kiddo literally felt like that. Lol

[@tohtorrent]

@@krashd donno about your place, but here the magazines with reviews came a month after the games were on shelves. So there was indeed the element of surprise when buying a new game. Yeah, demos sometimes were available earlier than the full game.

This game is the epitome of nostalgia to me. One of the very first games i ever played when i didnt have games of my own, it was my stepdads. I played this game so many times its not even funny, but i havent played in probably 10-15 years. Even just running my mouse along the bar and seeing the frozen images for later on all brought back goo memories and waves of nostalgia. Will enjoy watching this big time.

[@joannasekua6273]

Funny cause so many people here say its nostalgic for them because they played it as kids, I first played this game back in 2011 and I still look back on that time very nostalgically, there was nothing better than coming home after a bad day as an intern teacher and relaxing on Monkey Island

It did get turned into a movie, a little franchise called Pirates of the Caribbean. Disney knew they couldn’t sell it as a game that no one had ever heard of so they retooled it based on their ride. That’s why there’s so many similar themes-a pirate comedy about a kidnapped governor’s daughter, skeleton army, voodoo curses, and even a voodoo priestess who lives in a swamp.
