Monkey Island is the collective name given to a series of four graphical point-and-click adventure games produced and published by LucasArts, originally known as LucasFilm Games through the development of the first two games in the series. The games follow the misadventures of the hapless Guybrush Threepwood as he struggles to become the most notorious pirate in the Caribbean, defeat the plans of the evil undead pirate LeChuck and win the heart of governor Elaine Marley. Each game's plot usually involves the mysterious Monkey Island and its impenetrable secrets.
Ron Gilbert, the creator of the series, only worked on the first two games before leaving LucasArts. The rights to Monkey Island remained with LucasArts, and the third and fourth games were created without Gilbert's input.
During TV Network G4's coverage of the 2006 E3 Convention, a LucasArts executive was asked about the return of popular franchises, such as Monkey Island, and responded that the company was focusing on new franchises instead, and that if they developed them, may return to the classic franchises next decade.

If you're a connoisseur of video game history, I suggest the classics like the King's Quest, Leisure Suit Larry and Monkey Island series.

Finished @telltalegame's Tales of Monkey Island finale. The last chapter is shorter than expected, but the whole series is well worth it.
