Description
Grab your tricorn hat and your pieces of eight, strap on your eyepatch and wooden leg, and make sure your wit is as sharp as your cutlass, because for episode 20 of the Bucket List Gamers podcast we're setting sail to Monkey Island! The Secret of Monkey Island (19) and Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck's Revenge (35) to be precise! Journey back with us to the 90's, where point and click games were all the rage! From pirate adventures and missions in to space, to royal romps and mutated tentacles bent on world domination, the genre covered it all... and that's before we get to lounge lizards, frontier pharmacists and anthropomorphic animal investigators. Do you want to know the secret of Monkey Island? Well you're not on your own... *Slight correction"During the episode we discuss Full Throttle and a particularly random puzzle which involves kicking a brick wall. We claimed that you have to stop and stare at it for a certain amount of time, but this is incorrect. The actual puzzle requires you to stand in a VERY specific spot, wait for some gauges to stop flashing and THEN kick the wall. Not quite as frustrating as we made out, but still pretty tricky.
