 Compatibility Info, 2007-06-21
This game will not work on a Core Duo / Intel Mac, but will work in OSX if you have a PowerPC. The intro movies and cut scenes may not play in OSX on a PowerPC. Also works on any decent G3 or above pre-OSX machine.
One sentence review: not as inspired as previous entries in the series, but still fun. Uses the Grim Fandango engine.
Addicting game, 2004-06-17
I bought this game (PC version) at a very low price and I can say it was well worth paying full price for if I couldn't find it on sale. I played it until I couldn't figure out how to beat the grand monkey. I was almost done with it too. I beat at least 5 island monkeys when I gave up. I haven't picked it up since (6 months ago). I recently bought the Mac version, just waiting to load it. All in all I really liked the game.

I love all the Monkey Island games, 2004-04-14
I got a Mac laptop recently so was quite pleased to see this in Mac version. I did go looking for patches before picking it up thanks to earlier reviews. There are two - both are available not from LucasArts but from the company that translated the game to Mac.I recommend Monkey Island games to anyone who loves wordplay and goofy puzzles rather than blood and guts. Great fun, especially since you don't die, you just get stuck.

 Good game, bad compatibility, 2004-03-24
The excitement that was about to explode from within me the moment I received my copy of Escape from Monkey Island (Mac) was impossible to describe in words. However, that excitement quickly became that of sorrow when I realized that this game is not very compatible with OS X 3.The game is playable, but the in-game movies don't seem to like playing. The sound comes out crystal clear, but unless you enjoy being in a simulation of playing a game in a pitch black cave, you'll probably find it as annoying as I did. And to make sure I was not the only one to have this problem I searched forum after forum only to find out that there are many other people suffering from the same ailment. If you're running OS 9 to OS X 2, get the game, it's a definite buy -- funny and smart. If you're running OS X 3, beware of some annoyances that will probably stick its ugly head out.

 Best Game that I have for Mac OS X! There are better games.., 2003-09-20
This game is funny, it has awesome background graphics, and a fun storyline.People always complain about the controls, but they are easy. You are a mighty pirate named Guybrush Threepwood, and you need to stop the Ultimate Insult. The puzzles are sometimes easy, sometimes hard...and I did need a couple of hints. Overall, it was only 10 dollars and it took me 2 weeks to beat it!
IT IS WORTH IT!
