The first game in the Monkey Island series, The Secret of Monkey Island, was released in 1990. The game begins as our hero, Guybrush Threepwood, finds himself on Mêlée Island™, with one clear objective on his mind: Becoming a Mighty Pirate™. To become one, he must first pass "The Three Trials", and while doing so he learns of Elaine Marley, the local governor, and her story with the notorious ghost pirate, LeChuck, who now terrorizes the waters around Mêlée Island™ together with his undead crew. After passing the trials, Guybrush finds out Elaine has been kidnapped by LeChuck, and he must now set sail for LeChuck's lair which lies on the titular Monkey Island™ in order to save her.Way later in 2009, LucasArts made a brief comeback to the Adventure Game business to remake the game, complete with voice acting by the cast of The Curse of Monkey Island. | |

Creator Cameo: The Troll Bridge that demands a troll toll is actually George Lucas in a troll costume. (This is made much clearer in the special edition, where you can even see a red plaid flannel shirt sticking out when the suit is unzipped.) | |

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay: Sheriff Shinetop has you thrown off the pier tied to the golden idol you were tasked with stealing from the Governor's manor, leaving you to drown. How do you get out of this predicament when every tool that could cut the rope is just out of your reach? Just pick up the idol itself. | |

Do You Want to Haggle? | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_17d44dcc | comment |
Do You Want to Haggle?: Guybrush starts off in a decent, if not great, bargaining position with Stan, about to buy a subpar, no-frills ship from him for a price that's almost his entire line of credit or more; the game then gives you options to either wheedle him down to less, or act like a cagey negotiator but naively keep raising the offered price so that Stan can take him for all 5000 pieces of eight. Whichever way you play it, it soon becomes clear that Guybrush was cheated — the ship's worth less than even his lowest possible bid. | |

When you are about to crash the wedding between LeChuck and Elaine, you have a choice of dialogue for Guybrush, one of which being just shouting "Elaine!" In fact, that's actually a shout out to The Graduate. Word of God says that's where Elaine's name came from. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: After receiving sword-fighting lessons from Captain Smirk, Guybrush says, "I can’t help but feel like I’ve been ripped off," then turns towards the screen and continues, "I’m sure you're feeling something similar." On the other hand... If you look at Monkey Islandâ„¢ from your ship Guybrush will say, "WOW! This was well worth $59.95 plus tax." One of the dialogue options the player can make when challenging a pirate to a fight is to ask "Why do you guys talk so funny?" to which the pirate will reply (breaking accent in the Special Edition), "Pirate Lingo! It's how everybody talked back then. Come on Guybrush, play along." Monkey Island castaway/hermit Herman Toothrot occasionally addresses comments to the fourth wall. At one point, Guybrush asks who he's talking to, and he replies, "The people watching, of course!" — to which Guybrush reacts as if he's crazy, even though, as these examples show, he does the same thing. In Monkey Island's river canyon area, the player can move the cursor over the sun and urge Guybrush to walk to it. He then turns towards the screen and says "Oh, sure. Walk to the sun." As Guybrush is leaving Stan's shop for the first time, Stan monologues on how his business is booming, until Guybrush is out of the frame. Afterwards, he turns to the camera and says, "He'll be back." Later, after appearing reluctant to accept Guybrush's final price offer for a ship and telling him about how he'll have to run it by his boss, Stan remarks "Sucker!", as soon as his back is turned to him. | |

Failed a Spot Check: The Cannibals do realize that the idol given by Guybrush has exactly the same features as one of Lemonhead's, down to the "made by" writing, but fail to make the trivial logical connection that Guybrush just took back one of their offerings from the giant monkey head. | |

How does our hero get out of this? Just pick up the Idol. You know, the one he was just carrying a few seconds ago. It should be noted this is the only part of the game in which Guybrush can actually die. | |

The Grog machine is a Coca-Cola vending machine, red with a white stripe, just with "Grog" in place of "Coke". It also has the following flavors: "Grog", "Diet Grog", "Cherry Grog", "Grog Classic", "Caffeine free Grog", and "Root Beer". All of which, aside from the last one, are different types of Coke. | |

Ghostly Animals: The ghost pirates' ship contains ghost chickens and ghost pigs, which, like the human pirates, resemble glowing blue skeletons with outlines of their former bodies. They behave as they did in life, with Guybrush being disgusted by the view of the slop moving through the pigs' translucent bodies. They also produce items that are needed to proceed (a feather and lard, respectively). | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: One of the most extreme examples of this trope ever; if you wait underwater for around 9 minutes and 58 seconds after Fester Shinetop throws you into the ocean, then save the game, you won't have enough time to pick up the idol and get out of the water before Guybrush drowns, forcing you to start over. A guide, past knowledge or brute force using players can bypass getting a map, only to be stuck when they are required to use it as a fuse. | |

Copy Protection | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_4156b553 | comment |
Copy Protection: The "Dial-a-Pirate◊" code wheel. The game would start off with a "short quiz", and show a picture of a pirate (made from two halves of the heads on the code wheel) and asking when they were hung in a specific location. Once you rotated the wheel accordingly, the year for every possible location the game would ask would be revealed on the wheel, and typing in the correct answer would let you proceed. This was only present in the original EGA release and the slightly later VGA update. Beginning with the CD release, the copy protection was removed since it was still the early days of the CD-ROM format when copying one was unheard of. | |

Damsel in Distress | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_4160410d | comment |
Damsel in Distress: In the second half the game you are supposed to save Elaine from getting married to LeChuck. But just as Guybrush interrupts the ceremony, he finds out Elaine had freed herself a long time ago, due to LeChuck's gullibility, and was just about to complete the final step in her plan for getting rid of him, and now he just messed it up. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The game features surprisingly little of this, thanks to the following entries in the series tending to follow its gameplay and story structure so closely. The major things that stand out compared to the following entries are the Voodoo Lady acting as a glorified hint system rather than having a plot-crucial role, the soundtrack (aside from a few standouts like the main title theme and LeChuck's theme) being a lot more basic and generic in tone, and the game sometimes going into detailed close-ups of certain characters during dialog sequences. | |

Painting the Medium | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_5009999d | comment |
Painting the Medium: There's a certain stump in the woods of Mêlée Island™ with a tunnel hidden underneath it, leading into what Guybrush describes as a system of catacombs. However, it's impossible to enter it, as the game requests the player to insert several floppy disks that didn't come with the game, and Guybrush simply concludes that the catacombs are inaccessible. Many players at the time didn't realize this was a joke and thought that there was some actual missing or Dummied Out content, however, a fact which is referenced in the sequel. Later players could only learn of the joke from the Internet, since the joke was taken out in the CD edition and the Special Edition (which was directly based on the CD version). | |

Conveniently Placed Sharp Thing: Parodied through inversion in the underwater sequence. LeChuck ties a heavy statue to Guybrush's leg by rope, and throws him into the ocean. He is dragged down to the ocean floor, only to find that it is practically littered with sharp objects with which he might cut the rope — except they are all just out of reach. | |

Bloody Bowels of Hell: The catacombs (implied to be part of the capital "H" Hell) have eyes, noses, whole faces, and even hearts growing out of the walls and floors. Crosses over with Fire and Brimstone Hell, due to the rivers of magma. If you spend too long wandering through The Maze, looking at every random horror, Guybrush starts to think they're "Neat!" and "Gnarly!" He never gets used to the mushrooms, though. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: No Monkey Island would be complete without at least one instance: A literal example when Guybrush sinks his own ship on Monkey Islandâ„¢ with a catapult hit, but it has no gameplay consequences and only provides a slightly different ending, with your crew left stranded on Monkey Island. Watch. Guybrush in the final act ends up being a Spanner in the Works to Elaine's plan, crashing the wedding just in time to stop her from zapping LeChuck herself. | |

Art Shift | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_912b24c4 | comment |
Art Shift: Most conversations between Guybrush and another character will feature a close-up shot of that character in a highly detailed and realistic portrait. It is this realism that clashes with the visual style of every other game. The original EGA release had the close-ups in a style somewhat more consistent with the rest of the game's graphics — compare Elaine's EGA close-up with its VGA counterpart — and Ron Gilbert objected strongly to the more detailed style that was added in the later VGA release, but was overruled by the higher-ups at Lucasarts. The redrawn artwork in the remake - the shift is so drastic that there is actually a petition to have Guybrush's hair changed back to how it used to be and a fan-made patch restores the good old ways. | |

Cannot Talk to Women: When Guybrush first meets Elaine, he is unable to do anything except utter random syllables. In their second meeting he acquits himself better, but the conversation quickly turns to increasingly saccharine pet names, which in a way is worse. He relapses into gibberish in later games whenever a woman is upset with him, indicating Guybrush just cannot take a woman's scorn. | |

Confusing Multiple Negatives: Guybrush can promise LeChuck's ghostly first mate he "won't not promise to avoid refraining from harming you" (which, once translated, means you don't promise not to hurt him). It doesn't work — it's too confusing for him to understand, so you have to really promise in order to continue. | |

Seesaw Catapult: Herman Toothrot has built a fixture on Monkey Island that he insists is modern art, but consists of a log placed over a rock with a boulder on one end. This leads to a puzzle in which Guybrush must turn the log to the correct angle and drop a rock from an overhanging ledge in order to knock down a banana tree on a distant beach. If he gets the angle wrong, he may hit his own ship, resulting in slight embarrassment on his part and an extra scene in the ending in which his crew are marooned on the same island. | |

Lost in Translation: Not as bad as the infamous Monkey wrench of the sequel, but present: The book "How to Get Ahead in Navigating" taken by the cannibals in exchange for their navigator's head also has its translation problems in other languages. The idiom "Red Herring", whose meaning is necessary to know in order to advance, doesn't mean anything in other languages. Fortunately, it happens early enough on the game so Guybrush doesn't have many items, you already know you have to GIVE something and an edible offering makes sense, so at most you only have to try a few times. | |

Cutting the Knot | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_c2299d6e | comment |
Cutting the Knot: The glorious underwater idol puzzle. Several sharp objects that could free Guybrush are just out of reach. If you wait long enough, two guys walk onto the pier, lengthily debate tossing a sword into the ocean directly over your head... then decide against it and walk off again. Then in a unique instance, Guybrush dies for real. The knot-cutting moment comes in when you figure out the solution is to pick up the idol you were tied to in the first place. | |

Hook Hand | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_c25bfd17 | comment |
Hook Hand: Meathook, who lost both hands and an eye to a ferocious beast... a terrifying parrot. Not the same one he now keeps under lock and key on Hook Island (although he's just as afraid of that one). How it happened, we'll never know. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_c5b47b36 | comment |
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: The two sequences in which Guybrush tries to steal the idol in the first place. Much of the action takes place automatically in a room that you can't see; all you can see is dialogue and the actions that Guybrush is doing, many of which you can't normally do in the game. The highlight is perhaps "Hypnotize quarrelsome rhinoceros". The fight between Guybrush and the Sheriff in the Governor's Mansion starts out pretty funny and then keeps getting more and more insane. Elaine escapes from an undead pirate, carries out a plan to kill said pirate... offscreen. Then comes Guybrush and... | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Many to other LucasArts games, including Loom, the Indiana Jones series, and (in the Special Edition artwork) Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango. The Indiana Jones references (most notably "I'm selling these fine leather jackets") make more sense if you realise that Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade was the previous Lucasarts adventure game and introduced the more realistic graphical style and interface that Monkey Island used. When you are about to crash the wedding between LeChuck and Elaine, you have a choice of dialogue for Guybrush, one of which being just shouting "Elaine!" In fact, that's actually a shout out to The Graduate. Word of God says that's where Elaine's name came from. In a swordfight, one of the opening options is: "My name is Guybrush Threepwood. Prepare to die." In the demo version of the game, Guybrush has the option to call one of the pirates in the SCUMM Bar a "kwyjibo." In the demo, Guybrush can turn into Indiana Jones inside the house of the Vodoo Lady (called fortune teller in the demo). Otis' name is an homage to Otis Campbell, the jailbird and drunk from The Andy Griffith Show, while Sheriff Fester Shinetop's first name is most likely an homage to the equally bald Uncle Fester. The circus music has a part which sounds like the music typically used in circus settings, Entrance of the Gladiators by Julius FuÄ�Ãk. Two of the idols surrounding the gigantic monkey head resemble Sam and Max, of Sam & Max: Freelance Police — Steve Purcell was one of Lucasarts' animators/background artists at the time. The Special Edition changes this to Purple Tentacle (you can tell by the angry monobrow) from Day of the Tentacle. At one point, Guybrush can be made to walk off a cliff. The player is then shown a parody of Sierra's Have a Nice Death menus, before Guybrush bounces back into view and explains, "Rubber tree." Also a good-natured Take That!: "That's the second-biggest monkey head I've ever seen!" When Herman Toothrot sees the Sea Monkey, he calls Guybrush "braver than you look," a reference to how Princess Leia says "you're braver than I thought" when she sees the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars: A New Hope. At the end of the special edition credits: "Guybrush will return. Guybrush will return." | |

Description Cut: In the ending, Guybrush wonders what happened to various characters. Cut to Stan plunging into the Mêlée Islandâ„¢ bay several minutes after being Megaton Punched by LeChuck — then to Guybrush's crew imprisoned by the Monkey Islandâ„¢ cannibals and blaming Guybrush for the rock he catapulted into their ship, or, if you didn't sink the ship, to Herman Toothrot, still stranded, still wondering where Guybrush is. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: For the Special Edition, they recorded Guybrush saying various amounts of money he might have. If your current total is not one of those recorded, he just says he has enough to buy anything he might need. They also recorded two takes on each insult comeback — one that is said confidently when it's the correct comeback, and another that's said awkwardly when it's the wrong one. If you try to steal from the shopkeeper by picking up an item and leaving the store, he'll remember it and continue to call you out for it whenever you talk to him. If he's not in the store and you try to steal from him, he'll return just in time and furiously call you out for trying to steal when he's not there. If (and when) you drop the Swordmaster's insults on regular pirates, they automatically lose the round, but they call you out on it. At one point, Guybrush boasts that he can hold his breath for 10 minutes. Much later in the game, you have to beat an (extremely easy) puzzle while underwater. If you wait the full ten minutes instead of solving it, which can only really happen intentionally, you die (the only real way to die in the entire game.) | |

Have a Nice Death | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_d933263 | comment |
Have a Nice Death: Parodied, as this was the beginning of the trend of not being able to die in Lucasarts adventure games. Parodied where Guybrush can fall from a cliff and a Sierra-style death screen appears for a moment — before Guybrush reappears thanks to a "rubber tree." As you may repeatedly brag in dialogue options, Guybrush can hold his breath for ten minutes. Failing to solve the underwater idol puzzle during that time provides the game's only actual death. While there's no message or prompt to reload, after Guybrush drowns, the verb menu changes from Walk to, Look at, and so on, to Float, Bloat, Decompose, and to drive the point home, Buy Hint Book. Watch the multi-version whole ten-minute ordeal | |

Updated Re-release | |
| The Secret of Monkey Island (Video Game) / int_df1793de | comment |
Updated Re-release: Originally released on PC EGA (16 colors) in October 1990. It was released on VGA (256 colors) later in December. The 1992 CD-ROM version improved all of the audio, added new ambient tracks, and overhauled the HUD compared to the original floppy disk versions, using the purple theme of the sequel, with fewer verbs and displaying icons instead of the name of the objects The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition can be considered a remake of the game, with a new interface, graphics and voice acting. Built on top of the original SCUMM code, it also includes the original CD-ROM version, but now with speech. Both can be switched on the fly by pressing a key. | |

While this has never been explicitly disproved, Gilbert has claimed that "it was all just a dream" is NOT the elusive Secret, and that the ending of the second game was always meant as a joke and a cliffhanger. | |
