Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ??

Among hardcore original Monkey Island fans, the third one (Curse of Monkey Island) was pretty liked when it was new, and the original writer, Ron Gilbert, even kinda disowned the game (he was not involved with it).

It’s my single favourite game of all time.

The first and second are great, obviously. But Curse is also my favourite. The animation style holds up so well, you get some good insult sword fighting and it introduced Murray!

I didn’t know Ron Gilbert disowned it. He’s as repulsive as a monkey in a negligee.

I never played the originals so this one was my childhood. I don’t envy writers having to start from the nonsensical end of MI2, but they did their best handwave; I didn’t even mind having not known it.
