Guybrush Threepwood wants to be a pirate: you talk to everyone, pick up anything not nailed down and use it in absurd puzzles, and sword fights are won with insults. A remake with new voices and art that lets you switch to the original.

Why play it now

When you want to laugh with a classic adventure that's over in a few afternoons and where you can barely die.

Who it's for

For anyone who wants to discover a LucasArts classic and enjoys absurd humour and clever puzzles.

When not to pick it

If puzzles with unconventional logic or an interface with lots of shortcuts drive you mad.
