Guybrush is trying to recall in his captain's log how he ended up in this dire situation and his escape from the Big Whoop Carnival where he was trapped for an undisclosed period of time. Right clicking a door, for example, made Guybrush attempt to open it, while right clicking a person meant talking to him or her.Īfter the vague and surreal ending of Monkey Island 2, Guybrush Threepwood is inexplicably found on the sea in a floating bumper car with two helium balloons.

Holding left click over an object, whether in or outside the inventory, would bring up the coin menu, while right clicking it would perform the most obvious action with this particular object. The player controlled a white 'X' cursor with the mouse, that turned red whenever landing onto an object (or person) with which Guybrush could interact. The inventory and actions were thus visible on click, rather than on the bottom of the screen as previous point-and-click games by Lucasarts. The hand icon would usually mean actions such as picking something up, operating a mechanism or hitting someone, the skull icon was most used for examining or looking at objects and the parrot icon was used to issue Guybrush commands such as talking to someone or opening a bottle with his teeth. These icons implied the actions Guybrush would perform with an object.

The SCUMM engine was also used in this Monkey Island installment but it was upgraded to a "verb coin" (modeled after Full Throttle), an interface that consisted in a coin-shaped menu, with three icons: a hand, a skull and a parrot, basically representing actions related to hands, eyes and mouth, respectively. The Curse of Monkey Island is a point-and-click adventure game. 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!" Gameplay I should have known that nothing good could come out of that evil zombie's treasures. " 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. Excerpt from "The Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood: The Monkey Island Years":
