The Secret of Monkey Island

The Secret of Monkey Island (sometimes abbreviated as SMI) is a well–known adventure game that was developed by LucasArts (then Lucasfilm Games). The game spawned a number of sequels, collectively known as the Monkey Island series. Released in 1990, The Secret of Monkey Island is the fifth game to use the SCUMM engine. It made a name for LucasArts as an adventure game development studio.
The game, memorable for its witty humor, was primarily designed by Ron Gilbert, with Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman. The trio would also helm the development of the game's sequel Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.
