"Masterful"
A clumsy pirate apprentice dreaming of glory, Guybrush Threepwood faces a ghost in love with his sweetheart across zany islands. A peak of comic adventure, the tale overflows with delicious dialogue, absurd puzzles and a humour that remains unmatched. This LucasArts classic has lost none of its jubilant wit.

Collector interest
A compilation gathering the remastered versions of the first two Monkey Island games, classics of LucasArts' comedic point-and-click, rare to exist boxed on console. Its appeal lies in this tangible format for cult adventures long confined to PC and download, sought by fans of the genre. Its interest rests on this unusual disc edition rather than a large run.
Is Monkey Island - Special Edition Collection still worth playing in 2026?
This collection gathers the remasters of The Secret of Monkey Island and its sequel Monkey Island 2 LeChuck's Revenge, two peaks of LucasArts point-and-click. The absurd pirate humour, the delicious dialogue and the inventive puzzles around the apprentice Guybrush Threepwood keep an intact charm, and the writing remains a model of the genre. The Special Edition versions offer redrawn graphics, full voice acting and the ability to switch at any moment to the original look. The measured pace and the sometimes twisted logic of the puzzles call for patience. But for the fan of adventure and nostalgia, this set is a treat.
