  • Thanks haters, for putting the the likebar fuse on fire!

  • Is this "Curse" right ie: #3 ?

  • best intro ever!

  • LeChuck. Sail with me and I'll make you queen of the dead.

    Elaine. I, I can''t I am washing my hair tonight (fires cannon).

  • LeChuck. Sail with me and I'll make you queen of the dead.

    Elaine. I, I can''t I am washing my hair tonight.

  • I liked your video!

    ------Ellen 

  • great video

  • I miss video games like these *sighs*

    I loved The Kings Quest games etc.

  • @crashboy765

    Pirates of the caribbean stole too much from Monkey Island.

    Cause of that Monkey Island movie would be too much like Pirates of the caribbean.

  • Not the best PC game, but the best Monkey Island ever made.

  • @crashboy765 Pirates of Caribbean

  • the first three are the best ever. and thats it.

  • My youth wouldn't have been the same wwithout this game. Favorite character: Murray the Demonic Talking Skull

  • @Moshunman

    Demonic Talking Skulls are always cool lol

  • The first game is awful! :'( So Boring! O_O

  • @XxAimeeRosexX I disagree.

  • @XxAimeeRosexX What the hell?

    The first game is hilarious.

  • @XxAimeeRosexX your comment upsets me greatly.

  • best game EVAR.

  • best pc game ever :D

  • I have this game, but it wont play on my computer. Which is a real shame as its awesome :(

  • Searchs for ScummVM, ot will hopefully work and run the game on your computer :)

  • good news is that guybrush has the same voice actor in TOFM though no earl boen.

  • I really wish earl boen came back he did lechucks voice perfectly the new one is ok but it just doesnt compare

  • @Krypto282 they did the voiceover of chapter 1 with him and chapter 5 was originaly with his voice.

  • the monkeys are listening :)

  • prepare the FLAMING VOODOO CANNON BALL

  • make sure u don't drop it!

  • I have never played this game much, but I had to have this as a favorite video because the intro music is so beautiful!

  • BEST BEST BEST PC GAME EVER , i mean all serie of Monkey Island . Please LucasArts we want new game of Monkey Island..

  • they said there will be a fifth one. But not yet

  • they said if a fifth one is every supposed to happen, it won't happen before 2014

  • I'll replay all these games over and over again ^^

  • Wow really? I'll be seventeen then.

    Meh, it'll take me that long to figure out the other four, I have nothing to worry about.

  • You're so right.Funny and best playable game serie ever made -)

  • New game is coming!!

    But not by LucasArts

  • As long as it's got the same writers and actors I couldn't care less what company makes it.

  • Without Ron Gilbert it doesn't mean much. Included CMI.

  • Most amazing game intro ever.

    It sets the mood for a grand adventure better than any other game intros before or since.

  • seen the intro a hundred times and i could see it a hundred more and still get chills down my spine when the camera pans over the water and the music plays :)

  • man i love these games saddly i think this was the last good one

  • This game is one of the best games I've ever played.. It has a great storyline.. XD

    And the beginning is fun too.. =p

  • Best best best adventure game ever ;) music gives me strenght to fight with depression :)

  • i play this game when i have 7 years old this is my first game y played

  • haha same

  • This intro is still the most awesome intro to a computer game...never finished this game...perhaps I should. That would probably mean that it has taken me over a decade to finish this computer game if I did...not much to brag about.

  • Yes you should o.o wth are you waiting for! The Monkey island series is the best of the 'puzzle' series! (Ofcourse that is my opinion wich im sure many share)

  • The puzzles in this one got a little out of hand, and became a bit unbalanced.

    But still, an amazing game, and the stunning graphics and sounds make up for everything.

  • I remember playing this game so long ago, it was outstanding and most games today can't even compare to it. Like said by others above, its a great story, has excellent music, its funny, ingenuous, this game has it all.

  • IMHO the most defining game of my childhood - compelling story, excellent music, humour, wit, ingenuity, this game had it all - not to mention being able to kill yourself and make wally cry!

    Who else was fooled when the credits started rolling in the graveyard- i was!

    I mean this has to be the best game ever!

  • Damn this takes me back,i remember this from years ago.

  • hey dude, what program did you record it with

  • Que recuerdos!! voy a llorar !!! El mejor juego de mi vida

  • They sure don't make games like they used to. :)

    5/5

  • have u ever asked yourself why they put XXX on rum?

  • It doesn't matter what people say, Monkey Island will go down in history as a legend.

  • Flying D: Behold SKULL ISLAND!

    G Threepwood: hmmm, it looks like a duck to me

    Flying D: U r watching it the wrong way

    G threepwood: Now it looks like a bunny!

    hahhaahah i laugh so much with these games aha

    Ron is the fucken best!!!

  • Ron Gilbert had nothing to do with this game, actually.

  • i think he had everything to do, even though he did not participate in the project,

    thats the reason why i think the first two games are the best in the saga; yet, the world, the characters and the humour in the latest two games is very like his style, but without his special touch, any n00b can see that,

    +And all MKs are awesome. (though my fav is mk2)

    peace

  • I just reinstalled this game after seven years. It remains epic.

  • I love this series! I hope they make another with the same style! I wish they'd bring back the good ol' Scumm system and make games like this, Sam and Max, Grim Fandango, and Loom.

  • These games just pwnd man,

    i wished that people would stop thinking that bad about graphics and shit, and focus to make intense storylines, with music and characters as compelling like these,, just listen to the songs, and the dialogues, they were amazing,

    nowadays games have many lights and shit, but in ten years time, u wont see them back and feel nostalgic like when im watching Monkey Islands,,

    Peace

  • So true...

  • At least it didn't have the dumb Monkey Kombat from MI4

  • Am I the only one who thinks Threepwood sounds JUST like Weird Al Yankovic? Before you spam me with thumbs downs, look up a weird al interview (Not a song, an interview where he talks) and listen to his voice. I know it's not the same guy but it's uncanny

  • Am I the only one who thinks Threepwood sounds JUST like Weird Al Yankovic? Before you spam me with thumbs downs, look up a weird al interview (Not a song, an interview where he talks) and listen to his voice. I know it's not the same guy but it's uncanny

  • you're right! never would have made that conection but you're right, personly I always thought he sounded like Matthew Broderick.

  • Uh, actually, Monkey Island stole from the Pirates of the Caribbean amusement ride at the Disney parks. It's called a 'parody.'

  • Monkey Island did use some things from that amusement ride, but the Pirates of the Caribbean movies have also used a lot of things that were originally a part of MI series. That's the truth.

  • how would they be able to steal if the games were out before the ride was made

  • Monkey Island is perhaps the greatest game series ever.

  • Monkey Island IS! the greatest game series ever.

  • What about Grim Fandango? Also one of Lucasart's legends. ;)

  • SOMEOne PUT YOU A Thumb DOWN!!1 what an asshole! . Yea, Grim fandango is really awesome..

  • Grim Fandango is at the same level of Monkey Island saga and they are the best games ever.

  • The song is "Intro" in CD1 in this URL.

    htt4p://w4ww.worldofmi.co4m/fe­atures/download/mp3/

    I Wrote fours in the url because youtube dont leave me to put an URL, so delete de fours and copy it to Firefox or internet explorer(or other).

  • this game is one of the best pirate games ever xD And the intro song is just awesome!

  • Best intro music in any adventure game ever!

  • how funny is it when the chicken floats by on the barrel of grog and clucks!!!!!! hahahaha

    cracks me up every time! :D

    lucasarts rock.. check out grim fandango!!!!

  • Monkey island 5 should look like this not be in 3D like monkey island 4.

  • great superb voice acting 2

  • Although it's always a matter of opinion as to what is the best game ever I would not argue for a second with anyone who named this as it. Ron Gilbert, the creator of the first 2 games, had nothing to do with it. Sorry Ron but this game has a script about as sharp as yours was, although your entries were more challenging and classics in their own right. The animation and music on 'Curse' are absolutely superb. All the Monkey Island games should be released on one disc on the Xbox360 and PS3.

  • W the music of monkey island!!!!!!!

  • i love the classiks!!!!!

  • Monkey Island 1-3, Sam & Max and Simon the Sorcerer ( they are all ok but 3 had terrible controls ) are my favourite games ever.

  • One of the best adventure games ever..!

  • I totally agree. This game is so awesome!!!

    I love Monkey Island 1,2 and 3...but MI4 was a quite shock.

  • That message was meant to be a reply...

  • the titel music is fantasic!

  • I would have to believe that this is one of the best games ever. Great graphics with a fun cartoon feel. Amazing unforgettable soundtrack, great voice acting that fits the once silent text characters into living and lovable cartoon characters. A game has never made me laugh so hard in my entire life, many comedy movies just dont even come close. Even though its funny, you still get into the story line that is actually pretty deep. CMI shall be a legend in my heart

  • was that guy in a bumper car?

  • Yes he was.

    He just escaped LeChuck's Carnival of the Damned on Monkey Island.

  • Ah...that makes alot of sense. I remember playing games like these when I was younger, I loved 'em.

  • hey..can eny1 do any sort of video with the main theme music from escape from monkey island ( monkey 4 ) let me know if you can :D x

  • Murray was the greatest character in this game. He was just classically over the top.

    "My demonic powers have made me......OMNIPOTENT! MWAHAHAHAHA!

  • please monkey island 5

    lusac arts!!!

    best adventure ever

  • great game!! 2d and adventure games is the perfect macht...

    Captain's Log haha hillarious!!

  • One of the best adventure games every created.

  • I guess Broken Sword 1&2 and The Course of Monkey Island are the best advanture games ever. :)

  • These are awesome, thank you!

  • I love how the title logo blazes onto the screen as the theme kicks in. Very well done.

  • Is this Dominic guy the most fitting voice for Guybrush or what? Id like to see an anniversary compilation of the original 2 games with new vocal tracks.

  • they should make a movie on monkey island

  • i was crazy when i first saw the monkey island 3 demo some years ago, i had expetcting so much that game to come

  • Can somebody upload the scene where Guybrush walks into the chicken shop as El Pollo Diablo? Guybrush's most classic line ever. "Si! He dejado en libertad los prisioneros y ahora vengo por ti!"

  • actually he says: "¡Sí! ¡He liberado a mis pequeños hermanos y ahora he venido a por ti!"

  • No he doesn't. Not in the English version anyway.

  • @ReverendSyn: Yeah, thx for the info. I heard of that ride being the inspiration for both MI and PotC so many times now, but I still can't imagine how they got the whole story from it! I mean, are all those details which MI and PotC have in common, like the voodoo lady, actually from that ride? I guess you gotta take that ride to believe it, huh?

  • Just because two things have similar elements does not mean one was directly lifted from the other. Voodoo has been used in pirate movies long before computers were invented. WHo fucking cares if both have a Voodoo lady? It's just a god damn coincidence.

    FOR THE LAST TIME POTC IS NOT, WAS NOT, AND NEVER WILL BE A RIPOFF OF MONKEY ISLAND. It was created for the sole purpose to put a story behind one of their rides, NOT to ripoff LucasArts and their games. End of discussiom.

  • HEy, there are Zomibies in Evil Dead and Shaun of the dead! THat must bew irrefutable proof Shaun must have been created by directly copying off Sam Raimis work!!!

    Similar concepts can be arrived at by two entirely different people who never met. It IS possible you know.

    So enough with this "PotC ripped off MI" bullshit. If anything MI was a total ripoff of PotC. Voodoo lady presence be damned.

  • I have a question... is MI was a "total ripoff of PotC", how is it it was made BEFORE Disney even made their PotC ride? as ReverendSyn said... there's nothing between them, just all a coincidence

  • Ron Gilbert was inspired by the PotC ride from Disney when he made the games. Thats why some places from the movie are similar to that of the MI games.

  • It's the Caribbean... surely it doesn't matter what films and so it's from, they're ALL going to look the same.

  • well said... though you're partially incorrect. Tia Daima used the Voodoo Lady in the Monkey Island games as a template as to who she should act in the PotC films... otherwise you're correct

  • In that regard I stand corrected. But Theyre still fairly different characters. And for the record I don't view MI as any sort of a ripoff. Just saing chronologically PotF the ride came long before MI so the movies in no way shape or form a ripoff of the game.

  • yea, I know that the movies aren't a ripoff of MI, nor the other way round... Both brillient nonetheless

  • Yeah. Its not so much if the same LEGO bricks are used, it's what you make when you assemble them together with that counts. Nothing truly new under the sun as they say, but you can always put a number of neat spins on a similar concept.

  • I have Monkey Island playied with 7 and its the best

  • Ahhh good ol' times. I first played this when I was 9. I borrowed it to my friend but she never played it. Oh well..

  • And I was 7! Still remember those times!

  • Man, its like I'm playing it all over again.What a shame this is just a video. Used to have the Bounty Pack but it's gone now.

    Look behind you! A three headed monkey!

  • "I can't! I'm washing my hair tonight" ROFL

  • You know what... screw Pirates of the Caribean... this is what its all about man! Im sure the writers/producers of Pirates of the Caribean played this game!!

    This could be a great film... for kids for sure, (for adults update the humour jus a tiny tiny bit).

  • Actually PotC is based idrectly on a Disney ride thats been around for decades. Ron Gilbert states that the same ride was his direct inspiration for the game. Not saying the game isnt good. Its great, but the movies are not a ripoff of the games by any means.

  • The first two games where better than this.

  • i always said that

  • This game is awesome thank God I found a way to play it on Win XP one of the best of it's genre

  • Unfortunately, I never played CMI before, but this video makes me wanna play it right now!

  • I'm rubber, you are glue.

  • So this was actually a game? I didn't know that, cause I thought it was a show. Man....if I could find it, I'll play it. ^^

  • some one should do a live action  movie to cinema

    relese

  • haven't you see pirates of the carribean? a lot of ideas were literally taken from all theses great games, Orlando Bloom is the clone of guybrush...

  • Actually Ron Gilbert, creator of the MI games has stated that the Pirates of the Carribean ride was the direct inspiration for the game series. And the movies were based on the ride by the company who owns the copyrights for both, which gives the movies every legal right to use stuff from the ride. MI is a parody, something completely different.

  • Not really. Blooms charactr is a competant, straightforward leading man who chooses to go on adventures, Guybrush is a naive loveably inept bumbler who pretty much winds up in an adventure and manages to win only by blind luck. Bloom has brown hair and beard, Guybrush is blonde and cleanshaven. And finally Bloom has never used a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle.

  • Play Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge. Guybrush has blonde hair and a beard in that.

  • Not really. Blooms charactr is a competant, serious straightforward leading man who chooses to go on adventures, Guybrush is a naive, loveably inept bumbler who pretty much winds up in an adventure and manages to win only by blind luck. Bloom has brown hair and beard, Guybrush is blonde and cleanshaven. And finally Bloom has never used a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle.

  • didnt Tim Schafer leave after Curse? i've only played Curse and Escape, and i noticed that Escape kinda sucks.

  • I got escape from monkey island!

  • Sucks to be you, it's not half as good as any of the earlier ones.

  • What a fucking excellent game, comedy geniouses.

  • "Roll! Roll through the gates of Hell!!!" -- Murray, the talking skull!

  • I have never heard of this, but I'm starting to like it.^^

    Wish I've seen it long ago.

  • What about "The Monkeys are listening..." ???

    

  • great one. keep them coming...

  • Do you think you could upload a scene with Captain Blondebeard? Particularly the one where he talks about his "Giblets and Cracklins Party Mix"? He was one of my favorite characters.

  • The Secret of Monkey Island is my favorite game of ALL TIME!!!

    Part 3 was great too of course! I think Dominic Armato (English VA of Guybrush) did a fantastic job!!! :D

    Thanks for that Video!

  • A pirate I was meant to be...

  • Monlkey Island is the the man!!!

  • Oh I love this series too! It's a shame that Lucas Arts now only knows Star Wars.

  • An official at Lucasarts said while their plate is currently full admittedly with Star Wars games they haven't completely abandoned the property and WOULD like to get back to MI eventually. And since the prequels are done things are starting to settle down maybe theyll get back to other games too. Unfortunately SW DOES draw in the big bucks.

  • Great to hear that! Thx for the info.

    MI,Grimm Fandango, I hope they will make games like those again~~

  • Excellent!!!! Thanks for share it!!

    My favourite game!

  • This is an excellent game.

  • yeah the good old time..

  • Johnny Depp?WHERE'S KEIRA?

  • HOT!HOT!HOT!

  • oh i love this game! and seeing this makes we want to play it again
