No need to play The Secret of Monkey Island* when you can just watch the adorable stop-animated paper version of the game!

*Actually, you still need to play The Secret of Monkey Island.

Here it is, my drawing from memory of Melee Island from The Secret of Monkey Island, one of my favorite games of all time. My brain did a pretty decent job marking out the locations on this blue post-it (especially the elusive Sword Master’s spot), but I got the shape of the island all messed up and totally misplaced Stan’s Used Ship Emporium (for shame!). I remembered the island looking kind of like a pirate face (if you turn your head a little), so I drew the bay near the town with some kind-of sort-of profile features, but I was all wrong! The face is actually angled in the opposite direction. Pretty close, though.
Submitted my drawing to Mapstalgia, but since they’re all famous now who knows if it’ll show up! Figured I might as well post it here too.
