Heh, guess I was doomed since I've never heard of them. Good guess Foxcastle!

Guybrush Threepwood (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guybrush_Threepwood) is the main (player-controlled) character of the _Monkey Island_ series of games. In the first, 1990's _The Secret of Monkey Island_ a young Guybrush Threepwood finds himself on fictional Melee Island in the Caribbean to pursue his dreams of becoming a pirate, dealing with the dreaded ghost pirate LeChuck along the way. It's a 2d point and click adventure/puzzle game by Lucasfilm (now LucasArts). There were 5 sequels that followed, the latest being 2022's _Return to Monkey Island_. The first game was originally in 16-color EGA graphics, then a VGA version was released, and then in 1992 a CD-ROM version with remastered music was released (this is the one I have) The first two games in the series were remastered in 2009 and 2010. It's a fun play and I'd highly recommend it.sweetandcool wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 1:29 amHeh, guess I was doomed since I've never heard of them. Good guess Foxcastle!
I was surprised no one asked if the character had a wikipedia page. Did you read about the origin of the name?
If they didn't have a wikipedia page, would they really be considered well known enough to qualify for this game? :DDougJoe wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2023 5:42 pmI was surprised no one asked if the character had a wikipedia page. Did you read about the origin of the name?
Here's a link to one of my favorite songs on the soundtrack (this is from the 2009 remake): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fj5pIpjS14&t=198s
(I also really like "Stan's Previously Used Vessels", song #13).
"My last fight ended with my hands covered in blood!"
"Then I hope you've learned to stop picking your nose."
(You swordfight in the game with insults and comebacks. It's great.)
I loved those games!

Oh, and fun fact: in that first game, there is one and only one way to die and lose the game.
