Funny, I've always skipped that one because it went on my nerves.

Don't worry, you're not wrong. I didn't know them all, they're all listed on MI wiki. Though I do know a large portion of them from memory, but not all of them. I'll make that my goal for the year .

Edit: Wow. I think I do actually know them all. I attempted to recite them just then and I managed to go from start to finish. I'm scared...

I voted for "Three Sheets to the Wind." I believe my favorite part of the Monkey Island games was the ship combat (challenging mode) and insult swordfighting on the sea.

Kenny: Whoa, mister! You've just ordered the Destructomatic T-47 Carnage Delivery System with auto-loading and fax modem!



Second Place for me would be "The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood."

[thin029]

Enter the Manatee easily. What? I'm not the only who voted for it? There's still hope for the world!

[Debbie82]

Well, I'm not sure which chapter to pick. I'm caught in a tie between "The Three Trials", "Three Sheets to the Wind", "The Thief, the Barkeep, His Aunt and Her Lover", "Things to Do on Melee Island When You're Dead", and all five chapters of ToMI, but I'm gonna take a wild guess, put "Three Sheets to the Wind" in second place, and go with "The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood".

[ryannumber1gamer]

it was close for me but my order was 1.being my fav and 6. being the last in my top 6

1.trial and execution of guybrush threepwood
2.rise of the pirate god
3.the journey
4.things to do on melee island when your dead
5.launch of the screaming narwhal

[coolsome]

The Thief, The Barkeep, his Aunt and her Lover.

I just love Blood Island and all the charecters there and the smuglers in Duck Skull Island.

Well here are the ones I can name from memory (no cheating):

Part 1 - The Three Trials
Part 2 - The Journey
Part 3 - Beneath Monkey Island (I think)
Last Part - Guybrush Kicks Butt
Part 1 - The Largo Embargo
Part 2 - The Four Pieces (Or was it The Four Map Pieces?)
Part 3 - LeChucks Fortress
Last Part - Dinky Island
Part 1 - The Demise of the Zombie Pirate LeChuck
Part 2 - The Curse Get's Worse
Part 3 - Three Sheet's to the Wind
Part 4 - The Bartender, His Aunt, The Thief and her Lover (No idea if this is right, this is such a long chapter title!!!)
Part 5 - (Honestly can't remember)
Part 6 - Guybrush Kicks Butt Once Again
Act 1 - Things to do on Melee Island When Your Dead
Act 2 - Enter The Manatee
Act 3 - Escape From Monkey Island
Act 3+ - Guybrush Kicks Unusually Large Butt
Chapter 1 - Launch of the Screaming Narwhal
Chapter 2 - The Siege of Spinner Cay
Chapter 3 - Liar of the Leviathan
Chapter 4 - The Trail and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood
Chapter 5 - Rise of the Pirate God

So I pretty much remember them all, sure I need to think about it a little bit but I remember. So it is possible that some fans just know of all of them from memory to be fair.

Oh I just added it up, lol, I know the titles of 19/23 chapters, so I don't know 4, and of those 4 I almost perfectly know 3 of them. Kiss of the Spider Monkey is the only chapter I never remember :P

[Debbie82]

Part 4 - The Bartender, His Aunt, The Thief and her Lover (No idea if this is right, this is such a long chapter title!!!)

Grojak, I think you mean, "The Bartender, the Thieves, His Aunt, and Her Lover".

Yeah, I said it was one of the 4 I don't know :P

[apenpaap]

I think the order is The Thieves, the Bartender, his Aunt, and her Lover, because Minnie is Griswold's aunt, not King André's.

[coolsome]

Its a refrence to the film "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover".

Sorry, but the correct name is: "The Bartender, the Thieves, His Aunt, and Her Lover", because the name has to fit the title of the original movie, The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover. Plus, André is one of "the Thieves", and the "Bartender" in the first part followed by the "Bartender's Aunt" in the third part is the only way that needs to be correct in many cases.

[jadetermeg]

Didn't even have to think about it. The 4 map pieces. Excellent puzzles.

[tbm1986]

Glad to see some others shared my view of Four Map Pieces being the best, with Blood Island and Trials of GT coming in close behind. However, I am surprised how few seem to like Largo Embargo. It set the scene very well indeed, was well drawn, characters and puzzles were clever and funny.

@Whoever 'likes' GT kicks Unusually Large Butt, you're not as funny as you thought, sorry.

[lizbethlizard]

Launch of the Screaming Narwhal.

...

I like it.

Maybe they liked the ultimate insult cutscene.

[Spooky666]

Part 1 - The Three Trials

That was pretty cool and tricky.

Part 2 - The Journey

For me this part is not very creative and way too short

Part 3 - Beneath Monkey Island (I think)

Not as good as part one, but i like it.

Last Part - Guybrush Kicks Butt

Typical Finale. A bit short, and too easy.

Part 1 - The Largo Embargo

A really good beginning, for a genious game. After beating that chapter, youre totally into the game.

Part 2 - The Four Pieces (Or was it The Four Map Pieces?)

I love this chapter. This is the point where this game really starts. Maybe the best. It's quite long and tricky, and you can move between 3 islands. I like this, complex, and tricky.

Part 3 - LeChucks Fortress

This is a bit like "The journey". A bit short. Don't like it so much.

Last Part - Dinky Island

I like that. Especially the thing with the Le Chuck Voodoo Doll.

Part 1 - The Demise of the Zombie Pirate LeChuck

Unique beginning, cause its very short for an opening chapter. But its very funny, and a cool appetizer for the rest of the game. Something like a prologue.

Part 2 - The Curse Get's Worse

Typical good monkey Island chapter.

Part 3 - Three Sheet's to the Wind

Very unique, untypical chapter. I like

Part 4 - The Bartender, His Aunt, The Thief and her Lover (No idea if this is right, this is such a long chapter title!!!)

This is nearly as good as "The curse gets worse". I like that little trip to Skull Island. Reminds me on the little trip in Le Chucks Revenge with Kate, or the little trip in EFMI to Knuttin.

Part 5 - (Honestly can't remember)

I dont like that so much. Too short and unlogical. A bit like "The journey"

Part 6 - Guybrush Kicks Butt Once Again

Thats okay. Typical ending.

Okay its not really a chapter but you forgot the Prologue of this game. So Efmi is the only Monkey island game with a little Prologue before Chapter/Act 1.

Act 1 - Things to do on Melee Island When Your Dead

I like this one. Not too short, and very appetizing for the rest of the game.

Act 2 - Enter The Manatee

This is one of my favourite chapter of all MI-Games. Maybe a lot of people have a different opinion, but for me this chapter has the quality of the "Four Map pieces" chapter. There is a lot of tripping between Islands. Its complex and tricky.

Act 3 - Escape From Monkey Island

This is a really good chapter. After the prologue and 2 really good following chapters youre quite surprised that there is still enough work 2 do.

Act 3+ - Guybrush Kicks Unusually Large Butt

This is maybe the best Monkey Island Finale.

Chapter 1 - Launch of the Screaming Narwhal
Chapter 2 - The Siege of Spinner Cay
Chapter 3 - Liar of the Leviathan
Chapter 4 - The Trail and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood
Chapter 5 - Rise of the Pirate God

Unfortunately i did not play Tales yet. Beat me.
I would play it, if there would be a version for PS3 with german voice over. I bought the PC-Version with german voice over. But i have to wait till i got a working pc.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My favourite Chapter is "The four map pieces".

But "Enter the Manatee" is close to it.

I didn't forget anything. This thread purely lists named chapters and the begging part of EMI has no name. The only name I forgot was the 'Kiss of the Spider Monkey' part from CMI which is a OK part, but it's also forgettable.

Your definitely in the minority, but don't worry about it. I personally felt EMI was still a decent game.

You can tell you haven't played Tales yet :P I don't want to spoil anything but let's just say this is the 2nd best ending imo

Why do you need to wait? You English seems excellent!

I disagree on this. I love 'The Four Map Pieces', but I feel Enter the Manatee is average (still good though). I think probably 'The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood' (chapter 4 of ToMI) is my favourite, mostly due to the unique and fantastic ending to the chapter!

[Spooky666]

I mean, i would not have any understanding-problems with an english version. But thats not the point.

Since "Curse" I'm used to play MI-Games with german voice over. I'm just used to it. So for me its a matter of "enjoyment", not a matter of understanding or not understanding a language.

The other thing is, i don't like download-content.

I think its a matter of taste. I know, there are a lot of germans that even prefer playing an MI-Game with english voice over.

Anyway. By the time, i'll have enough money for a new pc, i will play my german "Tales".

It's already bought, so Telltale already got my money. :-)

You can tell you haven't played Tales yet :P I don't want to spoil anything but let's just say this is the 2nd best ending imo

Hope so :-)

Your definitely in the minority, but don't worry about it. I personally felt EMI was still a decent game.

For me it always feels like most people hate EFMI only cause of the graphics and the keyboard controls.

I definately think the games content is underrated.
