Monkey Island 3 was a visual pace-setter and inspiration for the 2D adventure games made since, whether professional or amateur. The art style embodied the spirit of the game visually, not an easy thing to do. It chucked realism out the window and went with soul, funk, and style, and it hit the goal. The cinematics were also mind-blowing. (How the heck did they do that intro cutscene?
)
Monkey Islands 1 and 2 nailed the dialogue and narrative by presenting the story through interaction and immersion through dialogue. So the series accounts for a good deal of what's made today. I can't think of any other game that did as wonderful a job at storytelling and gameplay presentation, except BioShock. (And you can't get better than BioShock.) In other words, agreed.
