Cheese about his family, he'll eventually tell you about his aunt who was so ugly people turned to stone when looking at her. Beside being a parody on the famous traveler Marco Polo, the name also has another meaning: "pollo" is Spanish for "chicken". There is a character named Marco Pollo in the game.The "bad guy" of the game is an Australian named Ozzie Mandrill.This was probably to deter "helpomaniacs", people who look up what to do next, and then regret they did. The walkthrough that came with the PC version was written entirely in bright blue ink, screenshots and all. However, not much detail was put into it, and no secrets were revealed (both to try and persuade the player to buy the full strategy guide). The PC version came with a "quick-path" walkthrough that explained how to beat the entire game. Escape from Monkey Island emulates the controls of Alone in the Dark right down to double-tapping the up arrow to run according to its manual and readme, this was in Grim Fandango as well, but was removed at the last minute.
