Guybrush's memoirs
Edit
Excerpted from "The Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood: The Monkey Island Years"
"I thought I'd killed the Ghost Pirate LeChuck for good. Wrong. How many times can that bloated old fool die? Other pirates tell me there's no escape. "When LeChuck wants you dead, you're dead", they say. Legend has it that the treasure of Big Whoop holds the key to great power... I must find it before LeChuck finds me."
Description
Edit
Monkey Island 2 follows Guybrush's continuing adventures some time after defeating the Ghost Pirate LeChuck. His arrival on Scabb Island was in pursuit of the Legendary Treasure of Big Whoop.
Its control scheme and gameplay is exactly the same as the first game. It uses the same engine: Scumm. It also introduced iMuse, a revolutionary music system allowing for flawless transitions between themes in different areas and rooms.
