LucasArts adventure games
The twelfth and final game to utilize SCUMM technology was the 1997 title "The Curse of Monkey Island". The game was the third entry in the "Monkey Island" series, and the first not to involve series creator Ron Gilbert. Development was instead led by Jonathan Ackley and Larry Ahern. For its final outing, the SCUMM engine was completely overhauled to produce significantly more advanced graphics than any previous LucasArts adventure game. The resulting distinct cartoon style was created by artist Bill Tiller. "The Curse of Monkey Island" featured slightly refined gameplay based on the pie menu interface used in "Full Throttle". The character of Guybrush Threepwood returns, with a voice actor for the first time in the series, in an effort to save his girlfriend from a voodoo curse. Michael Land once again composed the game's score. "The Curse of Monkey Island" would mark the end of support for DOS; the game was released on CD-ROM solely for Windows.
