Except for Plunder Island. Guess you skipped the first third of the story?

I know what you mean, but if there is only one atmosphere throughout the game then it's kinda limited. Sunny climes have their place for me, and Plunder was no more tense and moody than Flotsam. There were specific differences, which I have written about elsewhere, but darkness can only be used to create a tense atmosphere. MI1/2 weren't all dark. Granted, MI1 was until Monkey Island, but Phatt Island/Booty Island/etc. were all bright and sunny.

From the day I was born 'til the night I will die
All my lovers will be pink and elephantine!
