Book excerpt: Behind the scenes, stories, jokes and analysis of all the Monkey Island games, including many interviews of the creators. LucasArts has become a legendary developer in part because of The Secret of Monkey Island, which was created here in 1990. The Secret of Monkey Island, the world's most famous point-and-click adventure game, owes its reputation to its world of colourful, delightfully anachronistic pirates, to its Monty Python humour, but also, quite simply, to the fact that it revolutionised a genre. This book is a tribute to the adventures of Guybrush Threepwood, the great pirate. But it also aims to explain why Monkey Island represents a decisive step forward in the way a story can be told through a video game. It will also look back at the turbulent history of LucasArts and Telltale Games, discover a few recipes for voodoo toddy, learn interactive pirate reggae songs, shine at a social gathering of forty-something geeks and discover lines as sharp as a boarding sword (useful for duels or birthdays).
