Rating: Summary: "I must have left it in my other pants." Review: "Hi! I'm Guybrush Threepwood! And I'm a mighty pirate!" "Guybrush Threepwood? What a STUPID name!" "Well then, what's YOUR name?" "Why, it's Mancomb Seepgood!" This kind of witty banter, along with monkeys, grog, voodoo, treasure maps, ghosts, puzzles, and irony, are things you'll find all through the Monkey Island games. You play the role of Guybrush Threepwood, who eventullay becomes a pirate, meets the love of his life, Elaine, as well as his arch-nemesis, LeChuck, and has many other adventures along the way. I won't spoil anymore about these LucasArts gems, except that you have to buy them! Now excuse me, I have to go figure out what's wrong with my computer. I can't play Escape From Monkey Island on it!!!

Rating: Summary: Just began playing... Review: ...but so far this has been a lot of fun. My wife and I have been looking for quality puzzle/adventure games since playing the Myst series- this is a very different sort of game, but wonderfullly playable! Very funny and well done.
Rating: Summary: A LucasArts Masterpiece! Review: At first I thought it would be a outdated game but it ended up having excellent graphics for this time. It also has the first games before The Curse of Monkey Island so you know how it all originated. So if you don't have this game get it and if you do have it, enjoy.
Rating: Summary: OUTSTANDING GAMES, THE BEST ADVENTURE GAMES EVER MADE Review: BUY THESE GAMES! Give them to your mother, your grandmother, say there joke gifts but whatever you do, get people to play these games, they are some of the best programs that are out. They aren't those sh!tty full violence games where you point a gun at someones head and spill their guts over the floor. This has no heavy hard-core violence. Its really funny for kids, and really puzzling for adults because it comes with an easy and hard mode. Get these games, you'll never regret it. The only thing is that you might have some compatibility issues with newer operating systems with the first two games, but I have windows ME and I was able to get it to work. I'm telling you again, buy these games.
Rating: Summary: Fun but complicated Review: Guybrush is a funny character. It might be just my lean, but many things are so arbitrary in this game. It takes way too long to play. Who has the time to check out every little thing to have only one clue discovered every hour? The way to solve things are SO arbitrary, tedious and annoying. It was not created for people who want to play a short fun game. It requires hours and hours and hours of play. In this day and age who has the time? Solving things in this game are bearly logical, so you have to test every item out on every other item hoping you have the right combination of things to get any results. It's just too time consuming. For those that have the time and the patience it's a very fun and funny puzzle solving game.
Rating: Summary: THE FIRST WAS THE BEST Review: HELLO MY NAME IS GIANNIS. I(MY PARENTS)BOUGHT ME MY FIRST PC BACK IN 1992(14 YEARS OLD AT THAT TIME). IT WAS A HOT DEAL AT THAT TIME:A 386SX PROCESSOR!!!!!!THE PACKAGE INCLUDED 5 GAMES. ONE OF THEM WAS "THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND", THE FIRST OF THE MONKEY ISLAND'S FROM LUCASFILMS(LUCASARTS BACK THEN)I INSTALLED THAT GAME FIRST AND STARTED IT. IT WAS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 4-5PM.THE NEXT TIME I LOOKED AT MY BEDROOM'S CLOCK THE TIME WAS 11PM!!!!!!!!!!!!!IT WAS AMAZING..!!! IT IS THE MOST CLEVER AND ADVENTURUS GAME I EVER PLAYED. I REMEMBER HOW I FOUND OUT THAT THE "MONKEY ISLAND 2:LECHUCK'S REVENGE" WAS GOING TO COME OUT AND I COULDN'T WAIT TO GET IT. I STRONGLY RECCOMMEND THIS GAME FOR ALL THE ADVENTURE-PLAYRES IN THE WORLD. I HAVEN'T BEING AROUND A PC FOR ALMOST 6 YEARS!NOW I FINALLY BOUGHT MY OWN PC AND THE FIRST GAME THAT I BOUGHT FROM AMAZON.COM WAS A BOX COLLECTION OF THE FIRST 3 "MONKEY ISLAND" GAMES. I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL I GET THEM IN MY HANDS.GET THEM. THE "MONKEY ISLANDS" ARE THE BEST PC-ADVENTURE GAMES EVER. I GIVE THEM 5-STARS*****. THANK YOU. P.S.: I WOULD LIKE TO THANK AMAZON.COM FOR LETTING ME EXPRESS MY THOUGHTS ON THIS,I REALLY DO.
Rating: Summary: No sound for 2 of 3 games Review: I bought the game under the impression that it would contain all 3 games in their entirety--a great deal. But 2 of the 3 games do not contain sound. And if you have played monkey island, you know that it's not the same without the sound. As it is ... it is a good deal, but really you do not get the full 3 games.
Rating: Summary: All monkey island games Review: I can highly recommend all the monkey Island pc games.They are fun to play and keep your mind alert.Not too easy though,it keeps your mind active.Just hope that Lucus Arts fetch more games out like these.My son and me have had a great deal of fun trying to clock all the monkey Island games,and succeded.
Rating: Summary: mmmm. . .monkey island Review: I can't think of any reason (besides already owning these games) that anyone would not want to buy it. This collection of the classic monkey island games from lucas arts contains the first two (Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge) as well as the cartoony 3rd (The Curse of Monkey Island). Some people may look at the visuals and sound and sneeze, but believe me, this is nothing to sneeze about. These games are hands-down the most entertaining, the most challenging, and the most fun games you will ever play. Buy this package! And, at [a great price] , you're getting a good deal. Mucho fun, mucho entertainment.
