I won't disagree, but there's a bit of rose tinted glasses of nostalgia here.

A few years back I tried playing The Secret of Monkey Island again (special edition from Steam), and it wasn't quite as great as I remembered. The special edition has got voice acting, but the original script (which was for text) doesn't lend itself to voice acting (dialogue feels odd) and having it text only felt a bit archaic.



IMHO monkey island 2 holds up best. It’s so well written and I love the music.

Rose tinted? Possibly. But underneath the tint it’s still solid gold. One of my favourite games I’ve ever played.


I replayed the remakes of 1 and 2 with my son 2 3-4 years ago and we both greatly enjoyed them. I think they held in up very well. Voice acting was great.
