1. Introduction

===============================================================================


The game starts with Guybrush Threepwood arriving at the lookout point on Melee
Island, on his quest to become a pirate. After a brief talk with some pirates
down at the SCUMM Bar, he finds out that to become a pirate, he must pass the
three tasks. After passing the test, he hears that the governor of the island,
Elaine Marley, has been kidnapped by a pirate named LeChuck. So Guybrush
decides to assemble a crew and take a boat to Monkey Island, where he can find
the ghost pirate LeChuck and rescue the governor.

Despite being one of the funniest adventure games ever made, it also has enough
serious moments to make it interesting to play. The graphics are good, with
quarter of the screen being taken up by a section where you can select
commands, such as Look At, or Pick Up, and the other three quarters of the
screen being taken up by the main animation window. This takes some getting
used to after playing later LucasArts full screen games such as Sam & Max and
Day of the Tentacle, but after a while it just feels natural.

The puzzles are very good in this game, with most ranging from simple (such as
getting the fish in the SCUMM Bar), to difficult (such as finding out what to
do with the cake), but even if you get stuck on a puzzle the game doesn't get
too frustrating, as there always seems to be something new to do in the game.
There are many characters dotted around the islands, and there are numerous
topics to speak about with them, most of which range from mildly funny to
completely hilarious. Overall, this is one of the best adventure games on the
PC, and is a great start to an excellent series of games.

îîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîîî

On the way to the house for the first time, you will be stopped by a troll on
the bridge. Give the stewed fish to the troll to pass over to the other side of
the bridge, and then continue to the house. Outside of the house, open the door

Now that you've got some insult answers from the sword trainer, it's time to
fight the pirates. Wait on the path for a pirate to walk up to Guybrush. When
they speak to you, say "My name is Guybrush Threepwood. Prepare to die!" It's
your turn first to throw an insult, so choose any of the speech options and
read the answer from the pirate.

Every time you select an insult that the pirate doesn't know the answer to,
you'll move forward. Every time you select an insult that the pirate does know
the answer to, you'll move back, and it's the pirate's turn to answer a
question. When the pirate says a new insult, that insult will be added to the
list of insults. When the pirate answers an insult correctly, you'll get his
answer added to the list of Guybrush's answers. The full list of pirate insults
and answers can be found in section three of this FAQ.
