Old Gamer’s Almanac

The Secret of Monkey Island (1990)

Listen Later

We get to take a quick break from our 2001: A Game Odyssey season for one of our off topic entries: The Secret of Monkey Islands. One of the most famous point and click adventure games ever, with a recently modern remaster. So does this game still feel "old?" And does it's oldness earn it higher or lower ranks on The List?
