Monkey Island
The Secret Of The Monkey Island I


Our hero Guybrush Threepwood arrives on the unusually quiet pirate hamlet of Melee Island to become a pirate himself. Of course it is not that easy, if he wants to become a pirate he must complete the three trials that the pirate leaders in the SCUMM bar, set him. It would be great if only the locals weren't petrified of an Undead pirate captain and his ghostly crew and if that blasted Sheriff Shinetop would just keep his nose out of Guybrush's business he could get on with hunting treasure, sword fighting and stealing that idol. It is only moments after Guybrush finishes his pirate training that the beautiful governor, Elaine Marley is kidnapped by LeChuck. He sails off to his secret hideaway deep beneath the fabled Monkey Island. Now our hero decides to sail after his one true love to rescue her from LeChuck's undead clutches.

Unfortunately Guybrush has to find not only a crew but also a ship, and the only place to get a shipon Melee is Stan's Used Ship Emporium, where the quality of ship our hero can afford is matched only by the cheapness of Stan's attire. Once on the Sea Monkey things do not improve with a mutinous crew more interested in a Caribbean cruise than saving their beloved governor. It is left to Guybrush to steer the ship on it's journey to the mysterious Monkey Island. Thanks to a voodoo spell Guybrush and his crew are magically sailed to the shores of Monkey Island.
Once Guybrush arrives on the island he needs only to get to the ghost ship deep beneath the island. In exploring the Island Guybrush meets the original crew of the Sea Monkey and a group of cannibals. Who combine to help Guybrush navigate the catacombs below the Giant Monkey Head and steal the only weapon that can destroy LeChuck once and forever, a voodoo anti-root. Guybrush returns the root to the cannibals who provide Guybrush with the deadly elixir of ghost death and he returns to the ghost ship's mooring place in the lava floes only to find the ship has sailed off to the wedding of LeChuck and Elaine. It only remains for Guybrush to race back to the Melee Island church, root beer in hand, to destroy his nemesis once and for all. He destroys LeChuck and it is the end.
