To capture the style of the game, Gilbert drew heavily from his childhood memories of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. The first game, The Secret of Monkey Island, released in 1990. Gilbert began working in earnest on what would become the Monkey Island series in 1989, alongside other Lucasfilm Games employees Tim Schafer and David Grossman (both talented in their own right). Join us on our journey as we explore the mysteries and history of Monkey Island. Originally slated as a set of short stories, Gilbert’s idea for an epic pirate tale would eventually become a series spanning six games and four publishers over the course of more than 30 years. Like Maniac Mansion, this point-and-click game would feature clever cutscenes, absurd humor, and devious puzzles. Having overseen the release of Maniac Mansion in 1987, Gilbert began working in 1988 on a new project. Gilbert is best known for the creation of the SCUMM engine, which facilitated the development of many of Lucasfilm Games’ entries in the genre. Perhaps no designer in the field of point-and-click adventure games (where players explore a setting and solve puzzles by interacting with onscreen elements in pre-scripted ways) is as well-regarded as Ron Gilbert, whose list of credits includes Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, The Cave, and Thimbleweed Park.
