The Secret of Monkey Island
1990
Ron Gilbert, creator, designer, writer, and programmer; Dave Grossman, Tim Schafer, writers and programmers
The Secret of Monkey Island offered gamers inside jokes that often poked fun at gaming conventions. In this playful pirate adventure, players navigate through realistic, animated environments by interacting with objects, locations, and people. Monkey Island used an innovative scripting language, known as SCUMM, which allowed players to control characters' action by pairing virtual objects with verbs.
