The first "fun-to-play" adventure game with great humor, graphics and music.
What I mean by "fun-to-play" is that you couldn't get stuck some place, or forget some object and had to play a part of the game to heve this object with you. Neither could you die.
All this made the adventure game (I think) harder to make for the creators, but made it that much more enjoyable than the other competitors.
And the atmosphere was head and shoulders above anything else available. Especially the graphics mixed with the brilliant music made the atmosphere so good. And it made it impossible to stop playing the game.
That was most about the technical aspects of the game. But the storyline was (and still is) absolutely brilliant.
You play as a wannabe pirate named Guybrush Treepwood :-)
If you havent played this one and like humorous adventures, you should really run out (or around) to get your copy. This is history.
