I guess Sept 2nd is as close to an anniversary we have for Monkey Island. I made the gold master on the 2nd but it probably didn't appear in stores until Oct. There was no "release date" back them. It annoys we when people say Monkey Island "released" today.
This is so cool. I actually finally sat down and played the VGA version of The Secret of Monkey Island... to completion on my real 386 DX 33Mhz like 2 years ago now. I laughed and loved every minute of it. I played the whole game through the span of a weekend. I'm not traditionally a "point & click" kinda guy but this game was so important I just had to and it held up so well. Cheers and thanks for the history.
