However, the map is soon stolen by the vain Captain Rottingham. Through actions involving a chicken restaurant, a barber shop, a theater performance, caber tossing, a banjo duel, ventriloquism, and an exclusive beach club, Guybrush recovers Elaine, obtains a map to Blood Island, commandeers a ship, and assembles a crew of three singing barber pirates. She tells him that to save Elaine, he must replace the ring with a non-cursed one of greater value which can be found on Blood Island.

Guybrush receives guidance from the Voodoo Lady, who assisted him in his prior adventures. Elaine is transformed into a gold statue and soon stolen by pirates. Guybrush proposes to Elaine using a diamond ring he found in LeChuck's treasure hold, but Wally reveals that it carries a curse. His actions in escaping cause LeChuck to drop a 'voodoo cannonball' which explodes, seemingly obliterating the villain. Guybrush is captured and encounters Wally, the diminutive cartographer from the previous game. Drifting to Plunder Island, he finds his love interest Elaine Marley under siege by LeChuck. Dominic Armato, Alexandra Boyd, and Earl Boen respectively voiced Guybrush, Elaine, and LeChuck, and would reprise these roles in later installments.įollowing the events of Monkey Island 2, Guybrush Threepwood has regained his adult form and escaped from the zombie pirate LeChuck's 'Carnival of the Damned'. It was the first game in the series to be released on CD-ROM, allowing for a full musical score, fully animated cutscenes, and the introduction of voice acting for the characters. The Curse of Monkey Island was the twelfth and final LucasArts game to use the SCUMM engine, which was extensively upgraded for the game. It was made by a different creative team than the prior games, and took new directions in graphics and gameplay: The art has a cartoon-like cel animation style, and the previous games' verb command and inventory menus are replaced by a pop-up action menu and inventory chest. It follows protagonist Guybrush Threepwood as he seeks to lift a curse from his love Elaine Marley, while once again being menaced by undead pirate LeChuck. A sequel to 1991's Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, it is the third game in the Monkey Island series.

The Curse of Monkey Island is an adventure game developed and published by LucasArts in 1997.
