Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge 1991

Is it still worth playing?

LucasArts' 1991 graphic adventure for MS-DOS and Mac OS, running on the fifth revision of the SCUMM engine and the first game to use the iMUSE sound system. Guybrush Threepwood searches for the legendary treasure of Big Whoop and faces the zombie pirate LeChuck. The interface has an animation window on top, verbs at the lower left and inventory icons at the lower right. You explore several islands, in what was then LucasArts' most nonlinear game, and the game avoids killing you for mistakes, so you can retry. At the start you choose between the regular game and a stripped down Monkey 2 Lite mode that skips many puzzles. The humour and the dialogue are the reason to play it now, with a lot of people to talk to and puzzles spread over a set of islands.
