The Secret of Monkey Island may not be my favorite Lucasarts adventure - that would be Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis - but it's an amazing game, a true milestone in the history of the medium.
Is there a funniest protagonist than Guybrush Threepwood, the comically inept, naive pirate? Such an iconic character, and a spiritual grandfather to Pirates of the Caribbean's Jack Sparrow. LeChuck is a memorable villain as well.
As was Lucasarts' tradition, puzzles are intriguing, storyline gripping, dialogues sparkling with humor and intelligence. Best of all are the sword duels where Guybrush trades colorful insults with his opponents, and succeeds or fails depending on the wittiness of his retorts - one of the funniest gameplay ideas I've ever seen.
The sequel was a stunning achievement as well, hilarious and featuring even more challenging puzzles.
