Guybrush peeling Palido’s map off his own back has to be one of the most stomach churning moments in the series. Is this THE grossest moment in Monkey Island, or is there something worse? #MonkeyIsland #LucasArts #RetroGames #AdventureGames #90s

The most legendary intro! The EGA version (16-colour) is the one Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer, and Dave Grossman originally worked on. The VGA version (256-colour) only came later. Support for MT-32 music also required ordering an extra floppy disk. #MonkeyIsland #RetroGame
The evolution of Guybrush Threepwood across all major Monkey Island games. Which version is your favourite? #MonkeyIsland
This is the iconic Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge intro running via the Ultimate Talkie Edition with Roland MT32 music, which integrates the Special Edition speech audio directly into the classic 1991 version. #MonkeyIsland #RetroGaming #LucasArts
I grew up with Curse of Monkey Island. Love Guybrush Threepwood. #monkeyisland #curseofmonkeyisland #guybrushthreewood #fanart
I love how the LucasArts logo was adapted to each game. In The Curse of #MonkeyIsland, the logo is shown on a map that includes all the islands from Monkey Island 1 to 3. What is your favourite LucasArts logo variation?
A pirate I was ment to be, trim the sails and roam the sea! #guybrushthreepwood #thecurseofmonkeyisland #monkeyisland #lucasart
I took my digital copy from #gog and made it a physical version. Comment below which game I should make next. #monkeyIsland

The Scumm Bar on Mêlée Island. Top: EGA (16-colour palette) Bottom: VGA (256-color palette) Both from The Secret of #MonkeyIsland (1990)
Early concept art of Blood Island by Bill Tiller. He was inspired by a volcano projected onto the back wall inside the Mexican Pavilion before he began work on #MonkeyIsland 3. Bill initially chose a green palette to give the game a distinctive look compared with MI1 and 2.
3DO display seems to have been put next to import games/obscurities (is that a NES Game Genie??) / Akihabara Messe Sanoh 1994
Alfredo and Bill Fettucini convince Guybrush to be shot from the cannon. Top: EGA (16-colour palette) Bottom: VGA (256-color palette) Both from The Secret of #MonkeyIsland (1990)
Guybrush Threepwood: Mighty Pirate I will always have a deep love of the old Lucasarts games. I’d be so happy working on a game like Monkey Island. #guybrushthreepwood #monkeyisland #lucasarts #gamecharacters

Guybrush gives a banana to a monkey in The Secret of #MonkeyIsland: 1. EGA: 16-colours with dithering. 2. Amiga: 32-colour hybrid using EGA assets and color-reduced VGA backgrounds. 3. VGA: 256-colours.
An early design of the Plunder Island fort by Bill Tiller, created in Painter to achieve a realistic watercolour feel. While Larry Ahern had told Bill to go really crazy with the building designs, both he and Jonathan ultimately felt this initial result was a bit too extravagant.
Early #MonkeyIsland 2 background art of Booty Island at night. It was initially going to be called Crooked Island. The first image shows Stan’s Previously Owned Coffins, and the second shows the kitchen in Elaine’s mansion.
Deleted scene from The Secret of #MonkeyIsland shared by The Video Game History Foundation during the Monkey Island 30th Anniversary. The first image is the EGA (16-colour), the second is the VGA (256-colour).
The Curse of #MonkeyIsland demo offers a rare look at the game's development. Comparing it to the final version reveals changes to the background art and characters. Check the side-by-side shots to see how it evolved. For more details, read the article on my website: legendofmi.com/articles/the...
I drew that sign as temp art, assuming a real artist would replace it. I think they left it in to punish me. Look, it’s not easy to draw a cursive F with a mouse in Enhanced Deluxe Paint II.
