YOU'RE A WIZARD GUYBRUSH!! - CURSE OF MONKEY ISLAND (BLIND) #5
28Welcome back to part 5 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 follow up on some comments left by viewers to try to solve some more puzzles! First we go back to the Voodoo Lady's house in the swamp and use some of our wooden nickels to buy some gum. Then we head back to the port town and check out some of the buildings that we missed and stumble upon a theatre dressing room. We collect some head lice and use some magic to get a book from a magic hat. After learning the location of someone who knows how to find Blood Island, we go back to the Barber shop and use the head lice on the comb to get rid of the pirate in the chair. Then we can talk to the barber who tells us he'll join our crew if we beat him at a Caber Toss! Of course we lose, so we'll have to figure out how to get stronger or rig the game!!

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, destroying LeChuck's zombie body), finds a diamond ring in the treasure hold, and escapes the ship as it sinks. He reunites with Elaine and proposes to her with the diamond ring. However, the ring is revealed to be cursed, and when Elaine puts it on she is transformed into a gold statue and stolen by marauders.
