Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That was the only target set for those 20 or so young, ambitious, hilarious and unkempt creators. Lucasfilm GamesTM, soon to be LucasArtsTM, would become a legendary developer, not least because it was within its walls that The Secret of Monkey IslandTM was created in 1990. The best-known of the Point & Click adventure games, Monkey Island earned its reputation from its world of colorful, delightfully anachronistic pirates, its trademark Monty Python-style humor, and, quite simply, the fact that it revolutionized a genre. This book is an homage to the adventures of Guybrush ThreepwoodTM, pirate extraordinaire. But it also aspires—quite ambitiously—to explain why Monkey Island marks a pivotal milestone in the way stories are told through video games. It’s also an opportunity to look back at the tumultuous history of LucasArts and Telltale Games, to discover some voodoo grog recipes, to learn interactive pirate reggae songs, to impress at a party of 40-year-old geeks, and to discover one-liners as sharp as a cutlass (great for duels and birthdays).

Book excerpt: Behind the scenes, stories, jokes and analysis of all the Monkey Island games, including many interviews of the creators. LucasArts has become a legendary developer in part because of The Secret of Monkey Island, which was created here in 1990. The Secret of Monkey Island, the world's most famous point-and-click adventure game, owes its reputation to its world of colourful, delightfully anachronistic pirates, to its Monty Python humour, but also, quite simply, to the fact that it revolutionised a genre. This book is a tribute to the adventures of Guybrush Threepwood, the great pirate. But it also aims to explain why Monkey Island represents a decisive step forward in the way a story can be told through a video game. It will also look back at the turbulent history of LucasArts and Telltale Games, discover a few recipes for voodoo toddy, learn interactive pirate reggae songs, shine at a social gathering of forty-something geeks and discover lines as sharp as a boarding sword (useful for duels or birthdays).
