The Secret of Creating Monkey Island – An Interview With Ron Gilbert, excerpt from LucasFilm Adventurer vol. 1, number 1, Fall 1990. In: scummbar.com. 16. Juni 2004, abgerufen am 22. Mai 2011 (englisch): „[The POTC Ride] keeps you moving through the adventure, but I’ve always wished I could get off and wander around, learn more about the characters, and find a way onto those pirate ships.
