The definitive documentary on the game that started it all.

Four Games That Defined a Genre

Monkey Island proved adventure games could be genuinely funny. Day of the Tentacle pushed time-travel puzzle design further than anyone thought possible. Full Throttle stripped the genre to its cinematic essentials and proved shorter could be better. Grim Fandango fused Mesoamerican mythology, film noir, and iMUSE into the most ambitious LucasArts adventure ever made -- and the last one the studio shipped.
