After lying dormant for years, LucasArts' lauded classic adventure game Monkey Island has reemerged with a vengeance in recent months. At E3 2009, LucasArts announced that it had teamed with Telltale on all-new episodic installments for release on the Wii and PC, beginning later this year. The publisher also revived the highly acclaimed original, releasing The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition to warm reviews on Xbox Live and the PC earlier this month.

As it previously hinted it might do, LucasArts today added one more platform to the game's rerelease, announcing The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is now available through Apple's App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Gamers can pick up the portable installment in the series for $7.99.
Like the Xbox Live and PC versions, the Special Edition for Apple's mobile platform features completely redrawn visuals, a remastered soundtrack, voice acting, and a hint system for the games puzzles. Additionally, those interested in reliving the classic experience can still play through the game in a faithful re-creation of its classic look.
