One day he called me and told me that he was done with Monkey Island I and that I should buy it because its not like the Sierra games where you get stuck at 95% because failed to do something at 30% and can't go back. He praised Monkey Island for not being linear and for the fact that you can't die...
You actually can die in Monkey Island I.
