Secret of Monkey Island

After 4hours of mind boggling puzzles and countless number of times pacing up and down the same paths. After subjecting myself to frustration and the constant questioning of how i could ever like such games. I HAVEN'T COMPLETED THE GAME >.<

Welcome to the Secret of Monkey Island! I can't tell you the secrets just yet, because i've yet to even get to the damn island. Secret of Monkey Island is a click-based adventure game as old as i am. Born in 1990, it pioneers and pathed the market for games of its genre. And these are the kind of games i love, always presenting witty jokes, the storylines always get me cracking up. Their puzzles are so darn tough because they aren't conventionally solved. (eg. It's not simply, Wood and Sparks to get Fire).

2009 Remake version that i'm currently playing
A nifty feature: A click of a button sends you back into time, presenting its 1990 interface.
Time flashes by as i immerse mysef in these games. Sam & Max, Hector, Pepper's Adventure, King's Quest, etc.. They never fail to leave me in utter distress as i battle the temptation of succumbing to a walkthrough. But i will not, for it takes out the fun! *warning: you will be in for hours of endless pacing and clicking on every pixel in hope to find something you have missed. But most of the time, the item is already in your inventory, it's just how u were suppose to interact them with the bloody environment.
