Thanks to its much more cartoon-style and colorful graphics, “ The Curse of Monkey Island”Is now a real classic point and click genre (if you want you can also add “swear with the inventory”) which will always guarantee hours of fun and carefree thanks to a particularly apt soundtrack.

“The Curse of Monkey Island” is one of the many goodies belonging to the famous, and sadly defunct, LucasArts (and to date retrogaming) which gave birth to other graphic adventures such as the Broken Sword series, Sam & Max, Maniac Mansion, Grim Fandango, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis and many others. Let’s go on a long journey – Retrogaming: “The Curse of Monkey Island”
Alongside the various platformers, arcades, shooters, horror, sports, strategic, management and so on, the graphic adventures?

I know that many have called it a swan song and that his sales they weren’t the best, especially if we consider the first two, but I’ve been working on it lately and it’s been like a pleasant blast from the past. So continue our journey within the retrogaming column, started with the good old Super Mario 64, which today takes us to more Caribbean and pirate landscapes with “The Curse of Monkey Island.” Before continuing I would like to point out that I have chosen the third chapter because, in addition to being the first one I have ever played, it is also the one that takes me back to much more peaceful days between the benches of elementary school or at my friends’ house when we called it simply “Monkey Island 3”. If we talk about retrogaming, it is impossible not to talk about graphic adventures and it is equally impossible not to mention the Monkey Island saga which, under its “curse”, has bewitched thousands of fans of the genre as evidenced by “The Curse of Monkey Island”
