The game’s soundtrack was primarily composed by Michael Land in MIDI format. This was done to allow the player to pursue another puzzle should one become too difficult to solve.Īrt for the game was created by Steve Purcell and Mark Ferrari. These three tasks may be accomplished in any order. Certain objectives are non-linear for example, Guybrush must defeat a swordmaster, steal a statue, and find buried treasure at the beginning of the game. The player character cannot die (except if the player encounters a certain easter egg) or trigger a game over and no puzzle ever becomes impossible to solve at any point.
Emphasis was put on making the game enjoyable and accessible to all players. After testing this early version, various tweaks were made, such as removing sections of gameplay and adding new characters or puzzles. The team took three months programming a rough, working version of the game, while simultaneously writing and planning. Schafer and Grossman both programmed the game as well as wrote about two thirds of the game’s dialogue. After writing an initial story draft and planning an approved budget and schedule, programming began. Later, Gilbert confessed that the true inspiration came from Tim Powers‘ book On Stranger Tides. In interviews conducted at the time of the game’s release, Gilbert stated the Pirates of the Caribbean theme park ride at Disneyland inspired him to create an explorable world populated by swashbuckling pirates.
The game was conceived by Gilbert’s interest in pirates. Gilbert originally intended to work on the title in 1988, after his work on Maniac Mansion, but the project was put on hold for the production of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure. The Secret of Monkey Island was a project led by Ron Gilbert, designed by Gilbert, Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman. With LeChuck defeated, Guybrush and Elaine enjoy a romantic moment, watching fireworks. LeChuck starts beating Guybrush until the arrival at the ship emporium, where he sprays LeChuck with root beer (the cannibals having previously mentioned that the magic ghost fighting elixir, which is made from a voodoo root, goes well with vanilla ice cream). When he arrives at the church wedding, he realises that Elaine had her own plan to escape. Guybrush returns to Mêlée and goes to the church to prevent the wedding. However, when Guybrush goes after LeChuck, one of his crew tells him that LeChuck went to Mêlée Island to marry Elaine. After he helps the cannibals recover a lost voodoo ingredient, they provide him with a recipe that can destroy ghosts. When Guybrush finally reaches Monkey Island, he explores it and discovers a band of cannibals and a strange hermit named Herman Toothrot.

Guybrush gathers a crew (Carla, Meathook, and Otis), buys a boat, and sets out to find the mysterious island and free Elaine. While Guybrush is busy, LeChuck’s ghost crew abduct her, taking her to Monkey Island. The ghost pirate LeChuck, however, has been in love with Elaine since his living days. Along the way he meets several interesting characters, including Stan the used boat salesman, Meathook (a fellow with hooks on both hands), a prisoner named Otis, the three men of low moral fiber and, most significantly, the gorgeous Governor Elaine Marley. Guybrush meets the Pirate Leaders who set him three challenges to prove himself a pirate: defeat Carla the island’s swordmaster in insult swordfighting, steal a statue from the Governor’s mansion, and find buried treasure. At the beginning of the game, he washes up on the Caribbean island of Mêlée. The game introduces Guybrush Threepwood, a youth who desires to become a pirate.
