i got as far as i could without a guide but i didn't feel like the guide made the game any less enjoyable. very happy to have finally played through this one. highly recommend the patch that lets you enjoy the voice acting and old graphics at the same time, the SCUMMVM had a nice CRT shader as well that gave me all the vibes i wanted 10/10

learn how to set that stuff up at

if this if your first time with SCUMMVM you may want to check youtube for

good luck pirate
