Monkey Island Coming To XBLA
LucasArts might be raking in money hand over fist via a near-continuous stream of Star Wars games but without a doubt one of their most popular series was the Monkey Island games, featuring aspiring pirate Guybrush Threepwood and gaggles of jokes. From an era when unimpressive graphics forced developers to either craft addictive gameplay or use cunningly written stories full of intrigue, humor or both.
The Monkey Island series was very heavy on the humor, wit endless jokes, humorous solutions to puzzles and general silliness. Originally released in 1990 it was an adventure game which still delights fans to this day. A listing for a ‘Special Edition’ re-release has hit German ratings board listings for the Xbox Live Arcade.
Unfortunately since this isn’t an official announcement there are few other details, but a graphical update would be likely, given the extremely low quality of the original visuals.
