I know I will be saying nothing that hasn't already been promulgated throughout the message boards and social networks of people who play games, or been the subject of a thousand YouTube monologues. Here is the workaround for this issue: Start the game and wait for it to finish loading first. Like Ron Gilbert's previous game, 2017's Thimbleweed Park, Return to Monkey Island reminded me why I don't play video games much anymore-and maybe that's a good thing. The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition and Monkey Island Special Edition 2: LeChucks Revenge both start in windowed mode. Also, most of the screenshots were captured by other people. In case you happen to be reading this and aren't familiar with the Monkey Island games, we should probably start from the beginning. To understand why there are grown-ass adults filled with despair and angst after completing Return to Monkey Island, you need to know the timeline and the background of these games. If you are familiar with the series, well, enjoy the walk down memory lane. I should state for the record that I'm a relative newcomer to Monkey Island.
