I'm finally proud to show you this little documentary I've been making for the past two or three months for the 30th anniversary of the release of The Secret of Monkey Island - The Making of Monkey Island.
I hope you all enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it. What an honour!
Thank you to everyone who made this possible...
