- fierce, swashbuckling, bloodthirsty Pirate. Unbeknown to Guybrush,
- however, there have been some strange happenings in the area surrounding
- Melee Island and the more mysterious Monkey Island. As he walks into
- this maelstorm of mystery, Guybrush will soon be very aware that things
- are not what they appear to be, that even bloodthirsty pirates can be
- scared, and that there's more to being a pirate than swinging a sowrd
- and drinking grog!
- Here's where you come in.... You direct the actions of Guybrusg as he
- first explores Melee Island and then ventures on to Monkey Island. On
- Melee Island, Guybrush will have to prove himself worthy of becoming a
- pirate be completing The Three Trials. Through the course of completing
- these trials, you can Guybrush will learn much about pirate life and
- local folklore. But dont be suprised if you find that some of the people
- you meet seem rather anarchronistic!

- entertaining challange. Be patient, even if it takes a while to figure
- out some of the puzzles. If you get stuck, you might need to solve
- another puzzle first or find and use an object. But hang in there and
- use your imagination, and you will guide Guybrush to discover......
