Is the trademark symbol a joke or were LucasArts really trying to protect their fictional property? Only 100 pieces of eight.” I of course didn’t have any money, so had to decline his offer for now. “You want to buy a map to the Legendary Lost Treasure of Melee Island? Only one in existence. I wandered up to talk to him, and he had the following to say: “Excuse me, but do you have a cousin named Sven?” I chose to answer “What is that? Some sort of code?”, to which he answered “Of course it’s a code, you idiot.never mind.” Clearly I wasn’t the idiot, as when I approached him a second time I was able to totally fool him with the dialogue option “My cousin Sven sends his regards.” The moron was then willing to do business with me, opening up his jacket to reveal a bunch of maps. There I found a shifty looking character standing on a corner, with a parrot on his shoulder. “My plans are too important to be messed up by amateurs.” With that, I was thrust back in control of Guybrush, knowing that I now had an undead pirate pursuing me! I walked to the right of screen until I reached the main street of the town. I’ll have him taken care of myself.” LeChuck isn’t entirely satisfied with that solution though, and decides to take care of the situation himself. “Well, you see, we might have a problem on Melee Island. In fact, it’s really not very difficult to tell that both The Secret of Monkey Island and The Pirates of the Caribbean came from the same source, as Hector Barbossa and LeChuck have more than a little in common.īob has clearly disturbed LeChuck for a reason, and that reason turns out to be Guybrush. I feel so lucky that you happened to capture my ship, then murdered me and everyone on board.yes sir.lucky.” This is the type of humour that I love, and it comes thick and fast whenever these two are on screen. We quickly learn Bob’s origin story as LeChuck asks him if he too feels glad to be dead: “Oh yes sir. It’s days like this that make you glad to be dead.” It’s in this cut scene that we’re also introduced to LeChuck’s first mate, the one-legged skeleton, Bob. “Meanwhile, deep beneath Monkey Island, the ghost pirate LeChuck’s ship lies anchored in a river of lava.” That’s right, one of the most famous villains in gaming history was introduced right here, scheming aboard his ghostly ship! Suitably, his first words are “Ah, there’s nothin’ like the hot winds of hell blowin’ in your face. As I stepped out of the SCUMM Bar, aware that I needed to pass The Three Trials if I had any chance of becoming a pirate, I was witness to the game’s first cutscene. My first post was taken up almost entirely by the game mechanics and basic story introduction, so I’ll try to push some ways forward with this one.
I’m still very much in the exploration phase of Monkey Island. Ah.I forgot all about the LucasArts cutscenes!
