This is an early background art for the guard kiosk on Booty Island in #MonkeyIsland 2. Originally, this island was intended to be visited during nighttime. Unfortunately, I don't know the artist that drew this artwork.

Background art of King André's hideout on Skull Island, before it was added into the game. This image has a higher resolution and a greater number of colours, though it has not been upscaled. The artists would have to reduce the colours to 256 due to technical limitations.

Big box edition of The Curse of Monkey Island, released as part of the LucasArts Classics re-releases. This particular one was distributed by Activision UK.

Guybrush feeds the ferocious piranha poodles owned by Elaine using meat with the Caniche Endormi flower. The top image depicts the EGA's 16-colour palette in The Secret of #MonkeyIsland, while the bottom showcases the VGA's 256-colour palette.

The Dial-A-Pirate code wheel from The Secret of #MonkeyIsland and the Mix'n'Mojo code wheel from Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge were tools used to verify ownership of the floppy disk versions before granting access to the game.

Guybrush sees Monkey Island for the first time in The Secret of #MonkeyIsland. The top image depicts the EGA's 16-colour palette, while the bottom showcases the VGA's 256-colour palette.

Bill Tiller’s debut in digital watercolour for #MonkeyIsland 3 showcased the Barbery Coast at night with Danjer Cove beneath. It marked his first attempt at drawing curly clouds and a distinctive moon. This scene, an old pirate house, is envisioned as a haven for retired pirates.

The Secret of Monkey Island (1990) – one of the best games ever made! Did you ever play it? I had to do a little ligne claire homage of this funny and slightly crazy game. My personal favorites among the many versions are the pixel version from 1990 and the followup – LeChuck’s Revenge from 1991.

The PC CD-ROM edition of The Secret of #MonkeyIsland was released in 1992. The CD-ROM shown in the picture was distributed without a large box. There is also a version with a big box, although it is quite rare.

3 years ago Ron “announced” Return to Monkey Island. I posted about it on my website and was hopeful! One of my most popular news articles. legendofmi.com/news/ron-gil...

Some deep video game cuts for the university challenge quarter finals. I only managed to get one of these right.

@legendofmi.com OMG. That sounds promising, doesn't it?

The Monkey Island 2 waterfall on Phatt Island is truly picturesque! Players of the game's "Lite" mode don’t get to experience it, as the water isn’t flowing in that mode, making the tunnel readily accessible.

Back in the 90's, though OPL3 soundchip was the main component of many soundcards, it was always underused. Here's an example of how the iconic MI theme could have sound on a mere OPL3 based Soundblaster card 😊 Sound ON! 🎵

Plunder Island overview in The Curse of #MonkeyIsland. According to Jonathan Ackley, the idea of a tropical island covered with chickens came after he went on vacation to Kauai, where a hurricane destroyed all the cages and freed all the chickens.

Still pretty happy with the end of ol’ Tales of Monkey Island. I was nervous to ask Michael Land if the music in the Crossroads could allude to the music in the underground tunnels in 2 because I’m a lifelong Monkey 2 fanboy and it felt like asking to touch a live wire. He was happy to, of course!
