The Secret of Monkey Island is an adventure game developed and published by Lucasfilm Games (today known as LucasArts) in 1990. The game spawned a number of sequels, collectively known as the Monkey Island series. The game was primarily designed by Ron Gilbert, with Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman. The trio led the development of the sequel Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.
The game was originally released on floppy disk in 1990 for Atari ST, Macintosh and PC systems using EGA graphics. It is also the first adventure game to use character scaling that showed Guybrush shrinking or enlarging according to his position on screen.
Months after release, the PC and Amiga version was re-released with VGA graphics. Unfortunately, the demo only features EGA and not VGA graphics.
A special edition of this game has been released with enhanced graphics quite recently.
