Monkey Magic

What is it you love about the original Monkey Island

The game has charm and humour that are second to none. A lot of games try to be funny, but Monkey  Island is genuinely funny in a way that sticks with you like no other.

Why did you re-release the Sega CD version of the game? 

I’m a big Sega CD fan, and in the US we got a bunch of early games in these very, very flimsy cardboard boxes. If you look at them wrong, they crumple. Monkey Island was one of those games that got the cardboard box treatment and I really, really, wanted to give this game a proper jewel case in line with later Sega CD games. We had also done a few retro Star Wars re-releases with Lucasfilm for consoles, so it made sense to do a console Monkey Island game to follow up on those successes.

THE LEGACY OF MONKEY ISLAND
