    Same for me. The first game was brilliant, but the second surpassed that and was even better. All that have followed have really just been following in its shadow and not really quite matching it in terms of story, humour or fun.

    I found this question rather difficult to answer, but I'll do my best.

    First of all, I could vote for The Secret of Monkey Island because of the great memories I have from playing that game. It was the first one I tried in the series.

    Another contender is LeChuck's Revenge. I remember buying it from a local software dealer. Played it non-stop for quite a while. Great graphics, atmosphere, humour and puzzles.

    Then it's The Curse of Monkey Island. I was a bit sceptical to this one, due to it being so different from its predecessors. However, after giving it a go, I was hooked once again. Still, this game isn't, in my opinion, as good as the other two.

    Number 4 in the series was a HUGE disappointment.

    So, I guess I'll end up with voting for LeChuck's Revenge myself.

    Now I'm looking forward to The Secret of Monkey Island SE - looks very promising.

    Hard to say... the first one is INCREDIBLE, and the 2nd one is even better
    It is a bit of a let down imho with the controversive ending, but I chosed that one as my favorite.
    The 3rd one is really great too, but you know, too cartoony.
    Couldn't even try the 4th one, it's... too different!

    First and second about the same. But I'll go with the first, because, er, it came first!

    The first two are both bloody brilliant, but I voted 1 anyway, because ... er ... it has less disks to swap. Right.

    thanks everyone, Monkey Island 2 LeChucks Revenge was my favorite because it plays on your mind and gives you nightmares, especially when you take Wally’s monicle you can stand for hours and watch him talk to himself and it makes you feel guilty, Monkey Island 2 LeChucks Revenge is so atmospheric you feel like your actually there the attention to detail is fantastic, in woodtick you can go the bloody lip and watch the sea life passing the windows , I also like the green water under the bridge in woodtick

    I’m looking forward to the xbox 360 arcade version of the Secret Of Monkey Island, too because it includes the original and the new version with voice acting, there also going to be releasing Monkey Island 2 LeChucks Revenge the original version and the new version on xbox 360 arcade and the other 2 games in the series.

    I will be getting them regardless of already having them and playing them since they were original released

    Murray, also appears in Monkey Island 4 Escape From Monkey Island, I think its a good game but not as good as the first two.

    I like Secret Of Monkey Island Monkey Island 2 LeChucks Revenge is my favorite, The Curse of Monkey Island is good but without Ron Gilbert the story didn’t get continued as good as it could have been, I really liked Escape from Monkey Island.

    I didn't play MI2 until it had been out a long long time (in fact, I bought it on a CD-ROM budget release, with MI on the same disc, on the virgin 'white label' range).

    It seemed to me that MI2 had a more maudlin and sad atmosphere to it. I think I probably enjoyed the original monkey island the most.

    I've played the remake (Monkey Island special edition) on the 360 and it is very well done indeed, although I think i preferred the more realisitic character-look to the new cartoon style, some of the faces (Gov Marley) look a bit too goofy. The ability to switch back to classic mode on the fly is super neat; but I did find myself switching to calssic mode and back repeatedly rather often so I could have a look at every location in the style I remembered.
