A few short years ago, a boy named Guybrush Threepwood washed up on the shores of Melee Island with one quest in mind: to become a pirate. Needless to say, he eventually found himself on the road to his goal, until he met two people. One was the lovely governor of the island, Elaine Marley, whom Guybrush instantly fell in love with. The other was an evil spirit, otherwise known as the Ghost Pirate LeChuck, who was also in love with Elaine. LeChuck showed up and kidnapped Elaine, taking her back to his hideaway on Monkey Island until Guybrush brought his courage forth to defeat the dark lord and rescue the girl of his dreams.

Months later, Elaine runs out on him. He goes out to search for her, a bunch of stuff happens, and Guybrush ultimately finds himself washing up on Scabb Island with no memory of the past few months and one goal stuck in his mind: to find the legendary treasure of Big Whoop for no comprehensible reason. It's all happened before years ago in the early nineties. Now it's happening again. He is smarter, faster, stronger. He has been rebuilt. We have the technology. It's the same old game with a brand new twist.

I was originally inspired for this project back in 2000 after seeing "Mission: Impossible 2." At first it sounded like a silly concept - Guybrush Threepwood reenacting MI2, except with martial arts and guns. So I drew up a few KNP scenes to see what it looked like and started to think - hey, I could do a whole game based on this idea. So I began ripping off every movie imaginable to retell the classic story of pirates versus zombies. After a while, it got dull, and I took a whole year off from it. Then, after a year, I started doing it again for some reason, except that now I wanted to make something both stupid and epic, and possibly raise the standards for what can be done with fan-game programming engines. Did I succeed? Let me know at macaronipenguin@shaw.ca.
