Curse of monkey island
The only pirate adventure that asks the question: What's sharper, your sword or your wit?
The game is perfectly playable and highly optimized for Apple Silicon via the native ARM64 version of ScummVM.
“Smart pacing, gorgeous art direction and combat that consistently surprises. A genuine must-play.”
“A massive, beautiful and endlessly rewarding experience that sets a new bar for the genre.”
“An astounding achievement in interactive entertainment, and one of the best games of this generation.”
What the world thinks
- Download ScummVM: Visit the ScummVM website and download the macOS ARM64 version.
- Gather Game Files: You need the resource files from the original CDs or a digital store (Steam/GOG). If using Steam/GOG, install the game via a Windows VM or simply right-click the game in your library -> Manage -> Browse Local Files to find the .BUN, .SAN, and .VOX files.
- Setup: Open ScummVM, click 'Add Game,' and navigate to the folder containing your game files.
- Configuration: Select the game in ScummVM, click 'Edit Game,' and go to the 'Graphics' tab. Set 'Graphics mode' to 'OpenGL' and 'Aspect ratio correction' to 'On' to preserve the original 4:3 look on your 16:10 Mac screen.
- GOG/Steam (Whisky/Wine): You can run the Windows version of the game using Whisky (GPTK). Since the game is 2D and low-resource, it runs perfectly, though ScummVM is generally preferred for its native Apple Silicon support and modern quality-of-life features.
- Windows VM (Parallels/VMWare): This works, but it is overkill for a 1997 title and will drain the battery faster than ScummVM.
