You really do have to control and direct things and make decisions.
Because these aren't movies, right? It's not a ride you get on and then you just experience it. And I hope they're engaged, you know, by the funny dialog and the different characters that they're meeting and kind of puzzling their way through the whole story. And I hope that their brain is engaged, that they're solving puzzles, that they're going on. Gilbert: “We're primarily just trying to entertain people. On the experience of playing Monkey Island games We and people like us demonstrated way back then that you could and that has never stopped.” What we try to do is tell stories that are a little deeper and involve a lot of characters and involve talking to characters and puzzling out situations.”ĭave Grossman: “I remember back 30 years ago, there seemed to be a lot of debate about whether you could tell stories in games, whether those two things were compatible at all.

'Return to Monkey Island' is framed as a story Guybrush tells to his son. But the game is a new journey entirely, filled with witty repartee, goofy ghosts and absurd puzzles. Return to Monkey Island picks up right where 1991’s Monkey Island 2 left off, with the son of series hero Guybrush Threepwood re-enacting its ending. “It was an odd cliffhanger, and we never really got a chance to resolve it.” “I think I've always wanted to come back to the series, mostly because of the ending of Monkey Island 2,” says creator Ron Gilbert.

Return to Monkey Island is out on Monday. Art from "The Secret of Monkey Island." (Courtesy)
