Retronauts Episode 342: Escape from Monkey Island

<p>Our non-chronological exploration of LucasArts adventure games continues with an episode all about the legendary developer's final entry in the genre: Escape from Monkey Island. Unfortunately, EMI ended this era of LucasArts with a whimper, as the clunky 3D interface and questionable puzzles make Guybrush Threepwood's Y2K adventure feel more like a voodoo curse than a barrel of monkeys. On this episode, join Bob Mackey and <a href="https://twitter.com/spacecoyotl">Nina Matsumoto</a> (<a href="https://thimbleweedpark.com/">Thimbleweed Park</a> cover artist and designer at <a href="https://www.fangamer.com/collections/space-coyote">Fangamer</a>) as the two examine this unloved entry in the Monkey Island series to find out what went wrong.</p>
