Tales of Monkey Island Hints

So who is this Stan guy?

  • Stan is THE salesman. He and his eye-bending jacket have been in every Monkey Island episode since the first one, where he was a hyperactive used ship salesman. He's not exactly a bad guy, in that he's not actively out to get you personally. All the same, I'd keep my hand on my wallet while he's around, if I were Guybrush.
