About the Game

I've sailed the seas from Trinidad to Tortuga and I've never seen anything like it! The engagement ring I gave Elaine has a terrible pirate curse on it. LeChuck is behind it, I'm sure. I should have known that nothing good could come out of that evil zombie's treasures. And if that's not bad enough, the clairvoyant I met in the mangrove swamp told me that if I am to break the curse and save Elaine, I will have to die!
Excerpted from ""The Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood: The Monkey Island Years""

- Third in the legendary Monkey Island series of graphic adventures
- Film quality animation, voice, sound and music--the undead come to life before your very eyes!
- Incredible high-resolution (640 x 480) graphics!
