The Secret of Monkey Island

The Secret of Monkey Island Demo

Here it is! The only (?) official demo (playable) for Monkey Island.

If you don't know Monkey Island or you just want to see how it was in the good old times, this is the right thing for you!

Download the PC version (225 kb) of this demo,
or the Amiga version (416 kb).

The Amiga version looks and sounds much better. If you want to run it on a PC read ahead!

How to get the Amiga version running on a PC

Don't worry. There's a good emulator for most systems (DOS, Windows 95, Unix/Linux, OS/2, Mac, NextStep, BeBox, Acorn, ...): UAE The Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator.

Once you can get your UAE running (you need a KickStart ROM from a real Amiga, read the documentation), you have to copy (without UAE) monkeyde.lha (416 kb) and lha_e138.run (107 kb) into a directory/folder (e.g. named c:\uae\monkey) on your harddisk.
Start UAE (the following settings work best on my Windows 95 system. If they don't satisfy you, please read the manual):
uae.exe -S 3 -B 16384 -n 3i -m dho:c:\uae\monkey -O 640:400:dxy -H 1 -f 5 -w 10 -F 1 -W
Selfextract the LHA unpacker:
lha_e138
Now you can extract the demo:
lha x monkeyde.lha
Start it and enjoy:

A lot of work. But it is worth it if you are a real Monkey Island fan!
