I am not going to throw these out! That was a joke! Several years ago they got water damaged, so now they are sealed in water proof wrapping and kept safe and insured for $1,000,000. Also, this is not the "design document", they are just notes and ideas I'd jotted down. There wasn't a formal design document for the game, just the large complete puzzle dependency chart I keep on my wall.

Very early brainstorming about ideas and story. First pass at some puzzles on Monkey Island. Just writing ideas down. I'm surprised "get milk and bread" doesn't appear on this. Map when ship sailing was more top-down and direct controlled.

I'm doing some house cleaning and I came across my Monkey Island 1 and 2 design notebooks. It's interesting to see what changed and what remained the same. I'll post more. If I don't throw them out. They are smelling kind of musty and I'm running out of space. My first sketch of Monkey Island. Early puzzle diagram for Largo (before he was named Largo LaGrande).
