7 Best Pirate Video Games

7. The Secret Of Monkey Island

Point-and-click adventure games were all the rage at one point.

In the 90s any PC gamer would own dozens of them, and most of them would probably have been made by LucasArts.

If you're too young to know what a LucasArts is then just look at them as the older equivalent of Telltale Games. They were known for their point-and-click games and little else, even if they did develop some games of other genres that were pretty good.

The Secret of Monkey Island puts you in the shoes of Guybrush Threepwood during the golden age of piracy in the Caribbean. After a lady named Elaine Marley is kidnapped by a ghost pirate known as LeChuck, Guybrush Threepwood must travel to the mysterious Monkey Island to rescue her.

The story is simple but the writing is good enough to make you keep playing. It's just a really fun pirate adventure, where you wander around locations solving puzzles and get to listen to really funny jokes.

It's regarded as a classic for a reason, go play it.
