Last Monkey


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've always really enjoyed the Monkey Island series, since its debut way back in 1990.

There was The Secret of Monkey Island in 1990 (remastered in 2009), Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge in 1991 (remastered in 2010), The Curse of Monkey Island in 1997 (remastered in 2018), and then Escape from Monkey Island in 2000. I don't have a link to that one because they have as yet not released a remaster.

Then the rights were sold and a new team eventually put out Tales of Monkey Island in 2009, which was still good but not great.

Well for a final hurrah they got the original team of Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman back to do Return To Monkey Island. I enjoyed it but I have to say it didn't quite capture the originals. They say this is probably the last Monkey Island game that will be made, but you never know!
