E Island biography, E Island discography
Island Area is a fictional archipelago which serves as the setting for the Monkey Island video game series.Booty and Plunder which are all ruled by Governor Elaine Marley in place of her long lost grandfather, Horatio Torquemada Marley.Additional islands seen in maps of the area but never visited include Spittle and Pinchpenny.Island in The Secret of Monkey Island.The Secret of Monkey Island and Escape from Monkey Island), with a brief cameo appearance in the second (Monkey Island II: LeChuck's Revenge) and third (The Curse of Monkey Island), is largely covered by a thick forest of pine trees despite the games' Caribbean setting.Town, the island features a used ship lot run by Stan, a small traveling circus, a swordfighting school run by Captain Smirk, and the hidden home of the Sword Master.Meathook lives here, attempting to express his artistic side.The SCUMM Bar), a general store, a church, a jail, a voodoo shop run by The Voodoo Lady, and the governor's mansion.By the fourth game, Escape from Monkey Island, both the town and the island have changed considerably.Town, and the former site of Stan's Used Ship Lot is now the official island harbor where ships are issued for official use.EMI marked one of the first games that used the Lua programming language rather than LucasArts' venerable SCUMM engine.The alley behind the church appears briefly in MI2.The games involve Guybrush Threepwood, the main character, searching for Monkey Island or being stranded on the island and trying to escape.The island's general geography remains pretty much the same through the series, though one can only explore the island freely in the first, The Secret of Monkey Island (SMI), and the fourth game, Escape from Monkey Island (EMI).The south end of the island is mainly covered by jungle, at the west end there is a volcano, at the east end lies the famous Giant Monkey Head and located at the north end of the island is the cannibal village.The Curse of Monkey Island (CMI), and EMI the volcano turns active once more and the island is divided by a river of lava.During the time between SMI and EMI the Giant Monkey Head was surrounded by the infamous Carnival of the Damned named Big Whoop.The Carnival is destroyed by LeChuck before the happenings of the fourth game.It should be noted that in CMI, it is revealed that the carnival actually drove the vegetarian cannibals away.When first encountered in SMI, the Giant Monkey Head was the gateway to the Caverns of Meat, which originally lead to LeChuck's hideout.In CMI it was rigged as the infamous "Roller coaster of Death" which went through the mouth of the Giant Monkey Head and led its passengers to a horrific death in pools of lava below which transformed them into undead skeletons.Scabb Island as in Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.Scabb Island is the first island featured in Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.The island is inhabited by an anarchistic yet peaceful community of pirates.He bullies the other pirates for their money and prevents any ships from leaving the island (referred to as The Largo Embargo).Despite the fact that it's sunny on both Booty and Phatt Island, Scabb is always covered in darkness.The capital town of Scabb is Woodtick, located on the island's north coast.Located on the beach near Woodtick is "Steamin' Weeinie", a hot dog shack owned by the late Rapp Scallion.In the western part of the island is a swamp which houses the "International House of Mojo", run by the Voodoo Lady.According to a book in the Phatt Island Library, "Scabb Island History.Scabb island was first settled as a quarantine island for skin diseases.It later became a haven for pirates because of its distinctive lack of authority figures.The "Men of Low Moral Fiber (Pirates)" make their second (and last) appearance on Scabb Island.The tombstones in the cemetery have amusing, lyrical epitaphs similarly to those on Blood Island.It is packed with various injokes via an antique store and a costume shop, both of which play into important puzzles within the game.The governor's mansion is located on a secluded island on the Northwest part of Booty.There is also a bizarre treehouse located at the Eastern end of the island.Stan's Previously Owned Coffins is also located on the island.Max costumes as well as costumes of Bart Simpson, Huckleberry Hound, Popeye and Fred Flintstone.Island in order to take up the job of governing Booty and to get away from Guybrush.It also appears briefly at various points in Escape from Monkey Island on a revised map which departs considerably from earlier ones.Phatt island is known for being the sole island in the Caribbean to possess a dictatorship.Phatt Island is also noted for having the Caribbean's only library, which is located in Phatt City, a coastal town within a bay, in the northern part of the island.At the end of their journey, Marley tore the map to Big Whoop into four pieces, one of which he left with Rum Rogers Sr.The four pieces of the map to Dinky Island, as seen in the second game.It is a small tropical island inhabited by Herman Toothrot in MI2 who has started to teach philosophy on the beach.Dinky and Monkey are connected by a series of tunnels.None of the characters in MI2 spell the name of the island correctly suggesting that Dinky is fairly unknown.Plunder Island seen from the south.At the beginning of the game Guybrush Threepwood drifts to Plunder Island in a bumper car and finds himself in the middle of a battle between LeChuck's ghost ship Death Starfish and Elaine Marley on the coastal fortifications.The few notable locations on the island include Puerto Pollo, the island's port town which is located on the eastern side of the island and is built around a bay.The town's barbershop, Barbery Coast has its own barbershop quartet currently consisting of Scotsman Haggis McMutton, Cutthroat Bill and banjo virtuoso Edward Van Helgen.The skeletal pirate sitting in Blondebeard's Chicken Shoppe appears to be Manny Calavera from Grim Fandango.The native feral chicken had populated greatly across the island and the islanders decided to live in harmony with the fellow poultry until the local Puerto Pollo restaurant Blondebeard's Chicken Shoppe captured the chickens, caged them and put them on the menu.The chickens were eventually freed by the feral demon chicken El Pollo Diablo and are scattered throughout the island.Painting of El Pollo Diablo, on display in Blondebeard's Chicken Shoppe.All islanders are deadly afraid of an ancient evil that came from the forest, in the form of El Pollo Diablo, the Devil Chicken.According to the rumour it destroyed the pens and cages that housed the chickens and set them loose upon the island.He lurks in the jungle waiting to capture and kill the humans who ate his smaller brethren.West part of the island lies Danjer Cove, which is a small dark bay where some local pirates have dropped anchor.The eastern side of the island is shown in full daylight, while the western side lies in eternal darkness.The island is a retirement place for pirates and many decided to settle down on the island.The island itself is erroneously referred to as Puerto Pollo by Guybrush and the Voodoo Lady in Escape from Monkey Island.It lies in close proximity to Skull Island.Blood Island was previously a recreational island with the finest hotel in all of the Caribbean, the Goodsoup Family Resort of the proud Goodsoup family, with two rooms for rent.The island has become quite desolate, the only occupants of the island being Griswold Goodsoup, the resort owner; Madame Xima (whom Guybrush calls "Eczema"), a creepy fortune teller specialized in tarot cards; Mort the gravedigger, Stan, and the Vegetarian Cannibals.This, however, hurt the business of the Goodsoup Family Resort which had previously entertained tourists with a barbecue built over the continuous stream of lava.During the game Guybrush learns of Sherman's lactose intolerance and feeds the volcano cheese to cause an eruption (in order to melt some cheese into tar to trade with his mutinous crew).According to Griswald Goodsoup, reservations began pouring in as soon as the volcano erupted.The tiki lights from Booty Island make their return at the Goodsoup Hotel.He will not be able to climb out though.Skull Island is home to the infamous smuggler known as "King Andre".It is only reachable via a small dinghy operated by the ghostly "Flying Welshman" (an allusion to the legend of The Flying Dutchman).Guybrush Threepwood needs to get to Skull Island in order to get a diamond he needs to lift the curse cast on Elaine Marley by LeChuck's cursed ring.Many characters claim that Skull Island is in the shape of a skull.When the island is finally shown, however, it more closely resembles a duck than a skull.Skull Island is one of the smallest islands in the Monkey Island series (the player can only interact with a few things on the island and it is contained by only four perspective shots).Luke Skywalker and Yoda in Lucas's The Empire Strikes Back in the scene where it dawns on Luke that Yoda is the Jedi Master he has been looking for.Lucre is home to the 2nd Bank of Lucre (there is no 1st bank in order to promote experience in the field) and several smaller businesses such as a Bait Shoppe, a Cane Shop and a Prosthesis shop.Ozzie Mandrill owns a mansion on the island.Lucre Island bank and that they also contain the secret to assembling a Voodoo artifact known as the Ultimate Insult.Pegnose Pete frames Guybrush for bankrobbery and in order for the player to leave the island he must clear his name and retrieve the Marley's Chest which Pete stole.However, when Guybrush and his crew arrive, they find that the island has been completely overrun by tourists.All the real pirates have been driven off the island to the neighboring Knuttin Atoll (an obvious pun on "nothing at all").In great contrast to the lush and sunny island of Jambalaya, Knuttin is a dark and decaying place where pirates are afraid to amass in great numbers (or at least groups of three) for fear that Admiral Ricardo Luigi Pierre M'Benga Chang Nehru O'Hara Casaba the Third, the paranoid overseer of Knuttin, might suspect a conspiracy and fire a cannonball at them.This page was last modified 19:46, 19 January
