The Secret Of Monkey Island

[FooNado]

So where are all the monkeys?

[debugator]

Great game!

[judck]

Good ole games. 'Hi, my name is Larry. Larry Laffer."

[1xWertzui]

I learnt English with this game!

((Le-Chucknorris :))

[lucius1976]

Looks like EGA :-)

[00calvera]

vote for Lechuck on gamespot all time greatest villain poll

[StephenP18]

@00calvera Isn't Guybrush kind of a villain himself? Seeing as he wants to be a pirate? Why people call Guybrush a hero just confuses me.

[eurominet]

The Amiga release had awesome music, especially at the fortune teller's.

[corn1971]

I loved this game. I remember playing it on my dad's Pentium 386 computer. Pre Windows 3.1, pre CD's for computers. I remember installing this via a half dozen or so 3.5 floppy's that held 1.44 MB each.

[roskildahphreak]

Are you a fucking ass?

Monkey Island was never released for C64!

[WolfishNuckajuh]

this version is from the super nintendo, i played it for hours til i completed it

[VitasVarnas]

No it's not. Secret of Monkey Island was never on the Super intendo. Maybe it was the Sega CD version you were playing. Plus the version you see here is the demo.

[2much2teach]

wow never seen this version, im playing the special edition to revive all the memories

[VitasVarnas]

This was the original demo before SMI ever came out.

[poopskinTheLiar]

I was hoping the XBL trial for MISE would be a remake of this, but it wasn't.

[sepret01]

Hahaaa... My birthday is on the 20 th of may :D

[Roddors]

Is there a demo where you try to go on the map and a message comes up saying something like game over, you got crushed by a huge boulder? I remember playing that before I got the full version.

[Kiara72]

This was the first game that I was absolutely fan. Thanks!

[morgi75]

amiga

[natlinxz]

I don't think Monkey Island was on C64...

[syncrow76]

That's unfortunately right. No version for 8-bit machines...

[unaitxu699]

qher can i download THIS DEMO for scummvm?? :( isnt in scummvm`s web

[sheikyerbouti1983]

guybrush threepwood ftw

[gorizius]

the third game ever for me.. first one emyly hughes int soccer on c64 and vendetta same platform.. amazing games

[asbereth]

The second best game ever (the first one being LeChuck's revenge)! My first exposure to the series happened in 1994, which was kind of late (at the time, the second one had already been released for 3 years). One of my friends lent me this very demo (on a 5.25 inch floppy disk off course), and I got hooked. How nostalgic...

[aktron]

*schnüff*

good old times

[Textra1]

I'm not sure how this guy recorded them, but if I were to record a game from another platform, I'd run it on an emulator on my PC and use FRAPs.

I think in this case he just ran the old PC version in DOSBox and captured the video with something like FRAPs or an equivalent video capture programme.

[jellyboy123]

i love this game, had a great story line i really felt part of the game , i loved how the game takes you through a story it was like reading a book but yet you was part of a game. the game was kinda educational. It  made the user learn to read.

[neilam6]

my god! the graphics!!! funny how we all thaught these were great graphics ahhh good times

[ismilewithmyheart]

This was my favorite game ever growing up!

[fftkatarn]

I finished the game several times, but I never saw the demo! Thanks for posting it!

[Mrster]

The demo was available somewhere. I think it was on ScummVM's site.

[Lawl08]

Holy crap, I remember this game from a long time agao. Actually, I STILL have this game, just a matter of finding it.

[Fajjani]

"You can get the demo version at:..."Wtf, demo version? You mean you have to buy this old game? Cheap fucks.

[idocarepart2]

The birth day bit was painful to watch...

[HerbyHippie]

GROG WAS ORIGINALLY PURPLE!!!

[IamDemetri00]

Any idea where I can download this game or any of the mnkey island games?

[Idgie12]

i found the secret of monkey island on eMule, but i didn't find my favuorite, the curse of monkey island...

[FutileGrief]

Grog-o-mints! LOL I want some.

[bbbbbb222222]

-The more time you spend here, the more the demo will last.

HAHAHJAJAHJAHAHJAJHAJAJHAJHA

[Klaploper1]

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooool

[DjosueD]

that is solid.

[MN12BIRD]

I had this demo myself. It is strange that there was a Shareware Demo of this game but there was. I then played MI2 and later got a full version of this game. Great games both of em!

[GullGet9]

Huh, never knew there was a demo of this, this is one of my favorite games of all time.

The Voodoo Lady is a LOT like Miss Cleo compared to how she is in the actual game which is interesting- Cleo wasn't "Fortune Telling" yet.

Thanks for the show.

[Georg1986]

Hey, May 20th is my birthday! =)

[LOSTGrrrl]

ha the third shadow is nigh, that's a great reference to LOOM, another classic lucasarts game.

[xg42]

is this the full game cause i played the full one and the start isnt liek this and the troll is on the bridge

[Grayknife]

It's a demo. Read the description first!

[TheOldSchoolPlaya08]

great demo but guybrush looks weird

[XmegaPresident]

That worked on my Tandy 1000. TGA was a slightly less quality then an EGA video card. It could display 16 colors at once which was kick-ass in 1989!

[Ahle2]

No, That was pretty lame in 1989!

Every other system could do at least 16 colors at once, the Amiga had 4096 color at once in 1985 (In HAM mode)!!

[mulchdiggums]

wat a brilliant game!! wonder if you can help me? is this the game with the sword fighting that works with the "insult" system?

[VanisherXP]

Yes, it is. Tought, most money island games got the whole insult-swordfight thing in them.

In monkey island 1 it happens in one of the challenges, in monkey island 3 it happens wen you get the boat.

[mulchdiggums]

ah thanks man so many memories :)

[cobralink]

That's the demo most silly what I've seen ever

[jaltesorensen]

It was more cool in that later PC-version, where there was music all the time.

But this early and first version of Monkey island is also pretty nostalgic :-)

[corpser669]

ahhh the memories

[VanisherXP]

Wow, so the toll troll was actually something they made up for monkey island 1 but they decided to include it in monkey island 2 instead?

Pretty interesting things you can learn from demos.

[charliethegent]

Dude, the troll was in MI 1

[mtfr]

So funny! You hit the jackpot with this video, man.

[MrFerder]

Your right, this has lots of stuff that is different from (or just isn't in ) the final game. Thanks for uploading,

[Tokishedo]

lawl the endings the best part when the dude eats the herring :P
