Point and Click Away

The Secert of Monkey Island- is a 1990 point-and-click graphic adventure game developed and published by Lucasfilm Games.

It takes place in a fictional version of the Caribbean during the age of piracy. The player assumes the role of Guybrush Threepwood, a young man who dreams of becoming a pirate and explores fictional islands while solving puzzles.

The early releases of the game came with copy-protection. A cardboard wheel, named "Dial-a-Pirate", was provided, and the player had to match the pirate shown on-screen with that of the wheel.

The Secret of Monkey Island is a 2D adventure game played from a third-person perspective. Via a point-and-click interface, the player guides protagonist Guybrush Threepwood through the game's world and interacts with the environment by selecting from twelve verb commands (nine in newer versions) such as "talk to" for communicating with characters and "pick up" for collecting items between commands and the world's objects in order to successfully solve puzzles and thus progress in the game.

The in-game action is frequently interrupted by cutscenes.

Like other LucasArts adventure games, The Secret of Monkey Island features a design philosophy that makes the player character's death nearly impossible (Guybrush does drown if he stays underwater for more than ten minutes.

Its a excellent and classic game.

A great app, easy to navigate

Compared to other streaming apps (BBC I player for instance) its easy to slide back and forth on the time line. Easy to find new programmes to watch. Only downside is I spend all my data on it during my commute!

stays true to the board game

Solid game with good gameplay graphics, really shines with large player count, but that doesn't really apply to the app

this is a great simple, elegant, quick game, easy to play, easy to understand, and a good version.

Great High School film

A classic Teen High school film, set around the American Football team as a reluctant player has to step in to the spotlight. Very funny at times with some iconic scenes. Most of the cast went on to become quite big actors.

Filled with loot boxes

Repeated gameplay

Nothing special

Same old crap from Activision, game is bloated with loot boxes and ways to make you spend more money. Battle Royal is nothing new. Once was a great series is a shadow of its former self.
