Monkey see, monkey do
This may come as a surprise to many of you… but until very recently, I’d never played The Secret Of Monkey Island. I know that it’s one of those games that everyone of a certain age is meant to have experienced, but I’d filed it alongside Dark Souls, Baldur’s Gate, any Final Fantasy game after VII, The Godfather, Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad.
That’s not to say I had zero knowledge of Monkey Island. I knew the basic plot. I knew of Le Chuck and Guybrush Threepwood. I even knew about the three trials and the insult fights. I guess it was so ubiquitous that I ended up picking all of this up via osmosis.
