Trivialidades:

If Guybrush walks to one corner of the lookout plateau on Monkey Island, the rock will give way under him and he will fall, supposedly to his death, and a menu screen with the options "Restore", "Restart", and "Quit" will appear briefly. This is a parody of Sierra games such as King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella (1988) (VG), which feature many inconvenient ways to die.

Errores:

Errores cometidos por los personajes (posiblemente errores deliberados por los cineastas): When Meathook is facing left his sprite-sheet was not merely flipped, meaning that his eye-patch appears on the correct (left) eye when facing left, except in one frame in his talk-animation.

Citas:

Stan: I've changed my mind. I can't giver her up. You can have your money bac. How could I sell something so dear?
[a large part of the ship breaks and falls into the water]
Stan: Then again, a deal's a deal, right? Right. Catch ya later. Good luck. Enjoy. I'm outta here.

Best game of all time....tied with Maniac Mansion

If you ask me, it's the older games that are more fun. In 1990, Ron Gilbert released the first and best of the Monkey Island series, "The Secret of Monkey Island" Being a fan of Ron Gilbert/Lucasfilm Games (Maniac Mansion for example) I found this game extremely fun. Unlike most adventure games of today...you actually understand and find interest in the characters. You are Guybrush Threepwood, a young man who came to melee island anting to become a pirate. When the evil pirate Lechuck kidnaps the governor, Elaine Marley, you must get a crew and ship and sail to Monkey Island to rescue her. Now, form the sound of it this may not seem like a good game. Well believe me, it is. And one of the most important parts of the game is the humor. Just play it yourself. And see if you and Guybrush can discover "The Secret of Monkey Island."
