Monkey Island reviews (Part 1) - The Secret of Monkey Island



This is the beginning of reviews of the Monkey Island series where I chronologically review each and every game of the Monkey Island series. I'm joined by my favorite YouTuber, Hannu "The Hande" Makenin. Hannu is a long time fan of the series and it's a honor to review these games with him. This is where it all began; The Secret of Monkey Island. As I said, I'm reviewing all the Monkey Island game chronologically which means I'll also be reviewing Monkey Island 2, the Special Editions, The Curse of Monkey Island, Escape from Monkey Island, and Tales of Monkey Island. Keep in mind that these reviews are unscripted because I'm pressed for time and I've always wanted to review this series for quite some time.
I am of course reviewing the Amiga version instead of the Special Editions which almost everybody prefers. Like how I did with the Sly series, I instead want to give appreciation & recognition to this classic and show everyone what the original is like rather than ignoring the history and pay attention to the one with better graphics. This game is a lot of fun, very challenging, very funny, adventurous, incredibly creative, and overall an excellent game. If you haven't played any Monkey Island game yet, it's HIGHLY recommended to play the Secret of Monkey Island.

Also, be sure to check out Hannu "The Hande" Makenin's youtube channel and you can see why he's my favorite YouTuber on this site. He's funny, he makes very original picks for Top 10 Lists, and just down right fun!
