Day of the Tentacle Remastered

I love all Ron Gilbert’s and other good old school point and click adventures such as Monkey Island series, Indiana Jones series, Gabriel Knight, Sam and Max, Grim Fandango, Legend of Kyrandia, Beneath a still sky, etc. etc. but this one is the best of all. Design, style, music, dialogues, characters, sense of humor, story, remastered version engine(!), every detail matters and everything is perfect. Absolutely a gem and masterpiece!

this game has voice in 4 or 5 languages. I'd expect the ultimate version to include all of them :(

Played a remaster - remembered absolutely nothing after so many years. Skipping dialogue is buggy and you can miss so many hints. Don't remember this happening in SCUMM/ScummVM. The good: The variety of puzzles makes this game a classic and many things can be done at once which helps to keep frustration at bay. The bad: So much walking, LucasArts' most favorite busywork mechanic. It's very discouraging when you're stuck. The ugly: Cartoonish puzzles can stump you or you'll figure them out by accident. Way sooner than needed.

This game brings backa tonne of memories. It must stand the test of time well because by son was able to get into the puzzling with equal passion. :)

Out of all the point and click classics DotT is, to my mind, the best of the bunch, hands down. The puzles are hard enough to cause you to think, but not as ludicrus as some of it's contemporaries. The updated graphics work really well and keep the art style in tact. I can run through the game in about 2 hours, but if you try and solve it without help from online it's gunna take you quite some time.
