The RetroBeat: 30 years of Monkey Island

This week, The Secret of Monkey Island turned 30 years old. Monkey Island is one of my favorite video game series, and Secret is the one that started the beautiful franchise.

The Monkey Island games are point-and-click adventures. They focus on exploration and puzzle-solving, and you navigate your character, the wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood, by pointing and clicking around the world. This is a style of game LucasArts helped make famous back in the day, especially in the ’90s.
