    Once again Guybrush Threepwood saves the world from the evil pirate LeChuck to later find they be come allies? Wait no... Guybrush is stranded on a Carribean island with a voodoo infected hand searching for a boat to rescue his wife Elaine from his nemesis LeChuck who happen to be friends. What? No way!
    Play a clever puzzle/adventure made by TellTale games in a completely 3D environment and explore the silly dialog-ridden Carribean islands.

    I also did a guide for Back To The Future and it was a bit buggy. Slow and animation didn't look smooth. But now testing Monkey Island with success makes me want to test Back To The Future again.
