History Trivia / TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Until March 2018, this game and [[VideoGame/EscapeFromMonkeyIsland its followup]] were the only two ''Monkey Island'' games that still lacked a modern re-release on digital distribution platforms (as the first two games have remakes with the original versions as an EmbeddedPrecursor and the fifth is readily available on multiple platforms and storefronts).

** In the CMI Strategy Guide, [[WordOfGod Bill Tiller revealed]] that El Pollo Diablo was actually real. An abandoned storyline involved a labyrinth underneath Plunder Island, filled with traps and clucks of chickens demanding vengeance on the chicken-eating world. Guybrush would have been captured and tortured there, eventually swearing off white meat for the rest of his life, after which he would have been trained in the sacred Way of Chicken, becoming an elite warrior of the Pollo Knights of the Sith.

* ActingForTwo: There are a lot of actors who voiced multiple characters (even though said characters have never met each other). They are: Alexandra Boyd, who does Elaine and the Son Pirate; Denny Delk, who does Murray, Skully and the Father Pirate; Michael Sorich, who does Edward Van Helgen and Charles [=DeGoulash=] the Ghost Groom; the aforementioned Terry [=McGovern=]; Creator/TomKane as Captain René Rottingham and the Lost (Flying) Welshman; Harvey Jason as the Cabaña Boy and Effete [=LaFoot=]; S. Scott Bullock as Lemonhead and Pirate #2; Victor Raider-Wexler as Slappy Cromwell and the Snowcone Guy; Creator/DaveFennoy as King André and Pirate #3; George [=DelHoyo=] as Palido Domingo and Pirate #1; and Roger Behr as Mort the Gravedigger, Stu Boyle and Pirate #4. Even Dominic Armato can have a short "conversation" with himself (he also voiced the incomprehensible restaurant drive-thru speaker).

* PromotedFanboy: Dominic Armato, voice of Guybrush Threepwood, was a long-time fan of the games. He may have won the role ''because'' he was a fan -- it was close between him and another actor and his love of the franchise was the tipping point.
