It’s hard to underestimate the impact the original Secret of Monkey Island had on sea travel and rubber chicken sales, especially those with a pulley attached. If you’re still to experience the brilliant point and click adventure, well, it’s coming to the European PlayStation Store tomorrow.
Indeed, a week after the much newer Tales Of landed on our shores, the original, sublime and laugh out loud funny title is absolutely required gaming – as can be seen in our 9/10 review of the identical Xbox 360 version. It’s baffling that it’s nearly 20 years old, but there you go – greatness simply doesn’t age.
Secret of Monkey Island will arrive in Special Edition flavour, which means you can switch to newly updated high resolution graphics, newer music and full speech, if you so desire. There’s also a new hint system for the game’s often tricky puzzles, although you’re a big girly pirate if you need more than one.
Yep, and this one’s confirmed by Facebook. Old school.
Thanks, Wilboss.

I really must get around to trying the Tales demo first to see what all the fuss is about!! ;) I missed the original games the first time around, so hopefully I’m in for a treat!!
