The Secret of Monkey Island is one of the timeless classics in the adventure game genre, originally released in 1990. It combines epic adventure with dry and witty humor, and made a name for LucasArts as a serious game developer.
The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is an update/remake released in 2009 featuring redrawn high resolution graphics, complete voice-overs, and remixed music. It also includes the classic CD-ROM version of the game, with no voice-overs and low res artwork and sprites. Uniquely, you can toggle between the two versions of the game on the fly with the press of a single button.
