The Curse of Monkey Island $2.08 (Was $9.95 - 79% off)

About this game
I've sailed the seas from Trinidad to Tortuga and I've never seen anything like it! The engagement ring I gave Elaine has a terrible pirate curse on it. LeChuck is behind it, I'm sure. I should have known that nothing good could come out of that evil zombie's treasures. And if that's not bad enough, the clairvoyant I met in the mangrove swamp told me that if I am to break the curse and save Elaine, I will have to die!

Escape from Monkey Island™ $2.08 (Was $9.95 - 79% off)

About this game
Spitting the sand of Monkey Island from my mouth, I wondered if the life of a mighty pirate was all it was cracked up to be. I'd ignored recent events that should have been warning shots across the bow of my soul, from my wife's brush with death to the anti-pirate ramblings of an Australian gazillionaire. If only I'd chosen a different path, LeChuck might still be dead and the Ultimate Insult might have remained a mystery. If I'd never picked up a sword, the grog-swilling pirates of the Tri-Island Area might be unthreatened by the forces of gentrification and demonic heckfire. If only… suddenly, the hairy finger of a familiar monkey tapped me on the shoulder. It was time. Time for the biggest battle of my swashbuckling life.

    Monkey Island: Special Edition Bundle $4.30 (Was $20.49 - 79% off)

    That one seems unobtainable.

    There's no add to cart button and the warning says "Will not activate in Australia"

    • Scrooge McDeal on 14/05/2023 - 17:20

      Thanks , I haven't noticed that. I fixed title and description.

    • kickling on 14/05/2023 - 23:24

      Man, do you remember the Home Alone game? Where you have to set enough traps to get through the count down timer? That was stressful fun!

    • gummibear on 16/05/2023 - 01:14

      I just bought it without any issues/ trickery/ VPN's

      try again?

      • HomeAlone on 16/05/2023 - 01:18

        Yeah it has been fixed. Received an email from Fanatical an hour ago and sent Scrooge a PM.

        No region restrictions on the package. Fanatical just had the wrong info.

    I know it's only a few bucks but I'm pretty sure all of these were given away via Prime. I have them all in my Amazon launcher.

    Curse is perfect in every way. Definitely worth the 1-2hr or so play through (could be slower if you choose to do it in the extended hard mode)

      I would agree if it werent for the rushed ending. It tainted an otherwise awesome game.

      The real deal was this https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/monkey-island-special-edit… but unfortunately unobtainable in Australia. I didn't notice before posting. Sorry everyone.

      • ozbs25 on 14/05/2023 - 17:37

        One bad thing about the special edition of the first game is that you can't skip through the dialogue if you're a fast reader. If you've ever played one of these games you'll know how much of a pain that is.

        I haven't tried the 2nd game so don't know if it is the same for that game.

        • Planky on 14/05/2023 - 18:18

          Backspace skips, though not just the current line but the whole discussion. You end up missing far more than wanted.

          • ozbs25 on 14/05/2023 - 18:23

            @Planky: Just want . to skip individual lines like in classic.

            • Planky on 14/05/2023 - 18:31

              @ozbs25: You could look at Monkey Island Ultimate Talkie Edition, a tool that merges the dos version with the SE voices. Should allow the proper skipping.

      • gummibear on 16/05/2023 - 01:16

        Hi Scrooge

        I just bought it. Can you check again and update the deal for others to see

      I remember having to swap discs playing this. Good ol' CD ROMs.

    I choose… The banjo!

  • IPYF on 15/05/2023 - 10:22

    Escape is way better than you remember it being too. It's got some dumb parts but that game was such a hail mary. Shifting an iconic point and click game to that fruity 3d engine carried so much risk and for it to have ended up almost decent is actually sort of impressive.

    I know there are MI fans out there who don't touch either of the games Gilbert didn't write, but both of these are super cool in their own way and worth another look at these prices.

  • gadgetguy on 16/05/2023 - 09:31

    Bought, thanks. This has prompted me to get Wine running on Mac and the first game I tried (MI2) works perfectly.
