“Die Geheimnisse von Monkey Island – Auf Kapertour mit Pixel-Piraten!” (“The secrets of Monkey Island – Privateering with pixel-pirates!”) is a tribute to the adventures of Guybrush Threepwood ™, mighty pirate. However, it also wants to tell you in great detail how Monkey Island became a milestone in video game history thanks to its unique storytelling. It also gives you the opportunity to look back at the troubled history of LucasArts and Telltale Games, discover recipes for voodoo grog, learn interactive pirate reggae songs, shine at a swanky party among 40-year-old geeks, and explore sayings as sharp as cutlasses (useful for duels or birthday parties).
