Ron Gilbert’s The Secret of Monkey Island was a charming point-and-click adventure series released in 1990 which still holds a place in the hearts of many gamers. Harking from a gaming era in which wit and character were the defining features of a good game, the Monkey Island stories stood head and shoulders over their peers.

Hilarious moments and pop culture witticisms were wrapped up in the tale of the inept pirate wannabe Guybrush Threepwood’s adventures as he struggled against his arch nemesis, the ghost pirate LeChuck.

Amongst the many classic moments, Insult Swordfighting was the genius method of delivering an entertaining “combat system” through the use of dialogue alone. Until you have been on the receiving end of a given piratical put-down, you would be unable to execute it yourself, leaving you at the mercy of razor-tongued rogues.

Fans can now relive the entire war of words from The Secret of Monkey Island and the second sequel, The Curse of Monkey Island, in one handy browser-based package available here.

For more Monkey Island goodness, the original series was updated in 2011 and the Special Editions were made available on most modern platforms.

Look behind you… a three-headed monkey!

Broken paramedic and coffee-drinking Englishman whose favourite dumb animal is an oxymoron. After over a decade of humping and dumping the fat and the dead, my lower spine did things normally reserved for Rubik's cubes, bringing my career as a medical clinician to an unexpectedly early end. Fortunately, my real passion is in writing and given that I'm now highly qualified in the art of sitting down, I have the time to pursue it. Having blogged about video games (well, mostly EVE Online) for years, I hope to channel my enjoyment of wordcraft and my hobby of gaming into one handy new career that doesn't involve other people's vomit.
