Escape from Monkey Island continues in the hilarious anachronistic tradition of its award-winning PC predecessors, The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck's Revenge and The Curse of Monkey Island. Escape features an original cinematic story full of drama, intrigue and, of course, sidesplitting humor.

The story follows wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood and his new bride Elaine Marley-Threepwood. Upon their return to Mêlée Island, of which Elaine is the elected governor, the couple find out that Elaine has been declared dead and that her office has been usurped by a slick--and strangely familiar--politician. Escape from Monkey Island is highlighted by hundreds of challenging puzzles, set amidst dozens of rich and brilliantly rendered backgrounds.
