Monkey Island – Launch of the screaming, possibly flaming(!), narwhal

Piracy and games aren’t always a bad combination!

I’ve been silently campaigning (hoping even) for a new Monkey Island game for years now and Telltale Games almost sneaked one out with a completely new story without me noticing.

It’s now calling itself the Tales of Monkey Island and it is being released in five episodes:

  • Chapter 1 – Launch of the Screaming Narwhal
  • Chapter 2 – The Siege of Spinner Cay
  • Chapter 3 – Lair of the Leviathan
  • Chapter 4 – The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood
  • Chapter 5 – Rise of the Pirate God
  • The first chapter is out now and you can download a playable demo at http://www.telltalegames.com/monkeyisland

    And yes! It’s good, it’s very good! The writing is classic Monkey Island and they’ve even got the voice talent of the original Guybrush Threepwood himself – Dominic Armato. The guy with a name that sounds like tomato!

    If you are a fan you won’t be disappointed.

    Insult: “You fight like a dairy farmer.”
    Comeback: “How appropriate. You fight like a cow.”
