The Secret of Monkey Island is a point-and-click graphic adventure game and the first in the Monkey Island series.

Debug Mode#

After booting up the game, enter hardyharhar on the keyboard. Then, press Ctrl, Shift and D together. At any time Guybrush is on the screen, press Ctrl and G to go to any room in the game and set the X position for Guybrush to be in that room.

Note that this feature is very error-prone due to the lack of checking where the player is going, so use it carefully.

In addition to going to any room in the game, the following keys are available in the CD version:

The SCUMM Bar has a list of valid rooms and boot parameters. Note that an invalid input is likely to crash the game.

Unused Text#

Inside Captain Smirk's house, there are object labels for the Sentence Line which refer to two of his swordfighting practice dummies as "Norbert" and "Hubert". Since the player never gets to wander around freely in Smirk's house, these names are unseen in-game.

Unused Music#

There exists a short audio track in the CD version which doesn't seem to be used anywhere.

Timestamp#

A SCUMM interpreter version string appears at 0x868 in the Mac version's DATA resource:

5.2.02 (Mar 16 1992 22:15:04)
