First edition in German: As sharp as a cutlass!

“Do what you want, but create cool stuff!” – George Lucas on May 1, 1982.

For George Lucas, that was the only goal he set for his twenty young, ambitious, funny, and badly coiffed game designers as a framework for creating their own computer games. Lucasfilm Games ™ and later LucasArts ™ subsequently became a legendary game company, including the release of The Secret of Monkey Island ™ in 1990. The most famous point’n’click adventure game owes its legendary reputation to its gorgeous anachronistic world full of colorful pirates and its humor inspired by Monty Python, but also simply to the fact that it revolutionized an entire genre.

Description

“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).
