Object-ive review: Captain Blondebeard’s gold tooth from The Curse Of Monkey Island

A pirate must acquire gold to become a pirate worth the name, and so there’s nothing so perfectly Guybrush Threepwood as the first real treasure he acquires being a gold tooth stolen from an aging chicken restaurant owner. My vague awareness of The Curse Of Monkey Island’s place in history tells me it’s generally not as well regarded as its predecessors, but it holds a special place in my wooden heart, and this one puzzle always sticks with me. It’s very colorful, for one, and it’s also the first real bastard when you play the game again in the harder ‘Mega Monkey’ mode.
