His other ideas at the the time included making it "a hardcore adventure game" with no tutorials, hint systems, "pansy-assed puzzles or catering to the mass-market or modernizing." On top of that, he wanted retro art but powered by modern hardware (to help the team do what Lucasarts couldn't in the 1990s), a "full-on inventory", a physical release, dialog puzzles, and no verbs used for commands. At that time, he said he'd want it to be "a retro game that harkened back to Monkey Island 1 and 2", and would specifically ignore the events of every game in the series after the second – and given this game follows LeChuck's Revenge, it seems he may have gotten his wish. GAME INFO The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is an adventure game by LucasArts released in 2009 for iPad, PC and Xbox 360.It has a Stylized art style, presented in 2D or 2.5D and is played in a Third-Person perspective.
