Monkey Island 2 Special Edition is, like its predecessor, a high-definition remake of the original sequel updated for gamers of today. But thanks to downloadable content and mobile platforms, the adventure game has gotten a new lease on life for people willing to forgo triple AAA, blockbuster visuals in favour of a rollicking yarn, and Monkey Island 2 was-and still is-one of the very best. It’s a marginal niche now, having fallen from its lofty, well-loved heights back in the 80s and 90s when people thought of them as the closest analogue gamers had to interacting with a good book. It’s one of those little things, but I always get a slight tingle of pleasure whenever I get to write the words “adventure” as a genre to describe a game.
