The Real History of Monkey Island
One day, Guybrush Threepwood decided that he wanted to be a pirate. The Secret of Monkey Island records what happened after that, painting a picture of a youth who discovers the miraculous world of the Caribbean. That grand world is filled with not that much piracy, but it's a sprawling society nonetheless, full of great, odd, likeable characters. One has to wonder though, how real is this world? While some of it is obviously made up by the game designers, some of it is surprisingly real. Join me for a voyage back in time, where we'll discover the rich history behind Guybrush' environment.
