the curse of monkey island: a (really fast and spoilerish) summary with photos - part I


part i



after escaping from lechuck's ship (1&2), i proposed to elaine (3) with a cursed ring (didnt know it was!), which turned her into a golden statue (3), that i forgot to protect and as a result got stolen by greedy and danjer-ous pirates.


part ii



the voodoo lady told me how to break the spell - among others i had to find a map, a ship and a crew, in order to travel to blood island.

to get my 3-member ship crew, i had to outduel (a) a strong pirate in caber tossing [easy] (5) and (b) a noble pirate in banjo playing - which involved playing a certain banjo (6) and shooting another one (7) [more difficult]. last but not least - the toughest case actually - i managed to persuade a greedy pirate by acquiring some piece of gold - which first had to escape by flying through a window (8).

map time: past the cabana boy - who, by the way, needed some serious (blanket) spanking - with the membership card i got from the maggots-eaten gross chicken (9), i literally had to peel that damn thing off Palido's back (10)!

as for preparing that ship, i first got on board by corking with rubber the gaping holed rescue boat, and then managed to persuade the whole monkey crew off board by tarring and feathering myself (11) and returning as chicken-meal (12).

as if that was not enough, somewhere in between i had to escape from a really hungry snake (13) and the quicksand (14).

the success was complete by pressing the correct buttons to locate elaine, and ...flying all actors off stage (15), which allowed me to dig her out. with elaine, statued but secured on the crows nest (16), and my crew ready for action, we sailed the seven seas, heading to blood island.


δέκα χρόνια (και βάλε) αποχής - εξαιρείται μια πρώτη προσπάθεια επανασύνδεσης μέσω του grim fandango, περί του 2000, όπου τόσο η προσπάθεια, όσο και το ιδιαίτερα αξιόλογο παίγνιον έμειναν ημιτελή - ήταν αρκετά, και το the curse of monkey island της ομώνυμης, πολυαγαπημένης σειράς αποτέλεσε την καλύτερη περίπτωση/ευκαιρία για μια μίνι επιστροφή στο αγαπημένο gaming genre.
