THE CRYPT!!! - CURSE OF MONKEY ISLAND (BLIND) #19
21Welcome back to part 19 of my blind let's play seris of The Curse of Monkey Island, the third game in the Monkey Island series! This one sees us pick up at the end of Monkey Island 2, attempting to track down Elaine and find out what happened to LeChuck! This one features a different art style which is more hand drawn than the previous titles and is the first without Ron Gilbert as the creator!
In this episode, we continue trying to get into the Goodsoup family crypt! We revisit the graveyard and try to melt the cheese on a campfire but it's not hot enough to melt it. We take the cheese to the hotel and put it in the cooking pot above the lava powered barbecue which melts it and then we swap the melted cheese for the lotion! Next we manage to get into the locked room in the hotel by using Stan's laminated card to jimmy the lock and find a skeleton inside with a Goodsoup family history book. We nail the bed to the floor with nails we found on the coffin and the single nail from the next room and take the book! Then we talk to the bartender and pass his test to be declared a member of the Goodsoup family! We die again and go to the Goodsoup crypt where we find the ghost of the lady who had the ring we need to break Elaine's curse! We also go back to Melee Island in The Secret of Monkey Island temporarily!

The Curse of Monkey Island is an adventure game developed and published by LucasArts, and the third game in the Monkey Island series. It was released in 1997 and followed the successful games The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge. The game is the twelfth and last LucasArts game to use the SCUMM engine, which was extensively upgraded for its last outing before being replaced by the GrimE engine for the next game in the series, Escape from Monkey Island. The Curse of Monkey Island is the first Monkey Island game to include voice acting, and has a more cartoon-ish graphic style than the earlier games.
The game's story centers on Guybrush Threepwood, a wannabe pirate who must lift a curse from his love Elaine Marley. As the story progresses, he must deal with a band of mysterious pirates, a rival stereotypical French buccaneer, a band of cutthroat smugglers, as well as his old nemesis LeChuck.
The Curse of Monkey Island is a point-and-click adventure game. The SCUMM engine was also used in this Monkey Island installment but it was upgraded to a "verb coin" (modelled after Full Throttle), an interface that consisted in a coin-shaped menu with three icons: a hand, a skull, and a parrot, basically representing actions related to hands, eyes and mouth, respectively. These icons implied the actions Guybrush would perform with an object. The hand icon would usually mean actions such as picking something up, operating a mechanism or hitting someone, the skull icon was most used for examining or looking at objects and the parrot icon was used to issue Guybrush commands such as talking to someone or opening a bottle with his teeth. The inventory and actions were thus visible on click, rather than on the bottom of the screen as previous point-and-click games by Lucasarts.
The player controlled a white 'X' cursor with the mouse, that turned red whenever landing onto an object (or person) with which Guybrush could interact. Holding left click over an object, whether in or outside the inventory, would bring up the coin menu, while right clicking it would perform the most obvious action with this particular object. Right clicking a door, for example, made Guybrush attempt to open it, while right clicking a person meant talking to him or her.
Guybrush Threepwood is adrift in the sea in a floating bumper car, unable to recall how he escaped from the Big Whoop amusement park. He approaches Plunder Island, which is governed by his love Elaine Marley and under siege by the zombie pirate LeChuck. LeChuck captures him and locks him in the ship's hold. Seeking a way out, Guybrush fires an unrestrained cannon (causing LeChuck to drop a magical voodoo cannonball which explodes.
