Description
Originally released by LucasArts in 1993 as a sequel to Ron Gilbert’s ground breaking Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle is a mind-bending, time travel, cartoon puzzle adventure game in which three unlikely friends work together to prevent an evil mutated purple tentacle from taking over the world!

Now, over twenty years later, Day of the Tentacle is back in a remastered edition that features all new hand-drawn, high resolution artwork, with remastered audio, music and sound effects (which the original 90s marketing blurb described as ‘zany!’)

Players are able to switch back and forth between classic and remastered modes, and mix and match audio, graphics and user interface to their heart's desire. We’ve also included a concept art browser, and recorded a commentary track with the game’s original creators Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman, Larry Ahern, Peter Chan, Peter McConnell and Clint Bajakian.

Day of the Tentacle was Tim Schafer’s first game as co-project lead, and a much beloved cult classic! This special edition has been lovingly restored and remade with the care and attention that can only come from involving the game's original creators.
  • 100% new hand painted, high resolution artwork
  • Switch on the fly between classic mode and remastered mode
  • Remastered high quality voices, sound effects and music, with emulated “iMuse” style dynamic music
  • Choose between two remastered music modes: modernized, re-voiced music, or classic music which sounds just like it did in the 90s
  • Concept Art Browser
  • Highly customizable user interface and experience, with mix and match options for old and new play styles - play with the verb bar in remastered mode, or the new verb dial in classic mode
  • Commentary track with original creators: Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman, Larry Ahern, Peter Chan, Peter McConnell and Clint Bajakian.
  • Game within a game: Includes full playable version of Maniac Mansion!

Such a good remake.

Not only can you play Maniac Mansion within the game, you can switch between original grapics and remastered. Both are amazing and with the commentary added, you simply must have this classic. If you played before, it's worth doing again.

Day of the Tentacle Remastered

Played this with my kids over Christmas on my Windows 10 computer and it ran flawlessly. We ran it over HDMI cable to our big screen TV and it added to the enjoyment. My kids played this game many years ago and we were able to play it start to finish in 3 hours. I can count the number of times I have been able to play an adventure game on my computer without any sort of problems on one hand - but, again, no problems at all. Can't wait to try out Grim Fandango Remastered.

One of the Best Games Ever!

Bear in mind, when looking at rating scores, that 4.6 (DoTT's rating at the time of writing) has been knocked down by at least 0.9 points by people complaining that the game is late, that it doesn't have a Linux version, that it's not translated into Venusian, and other nonsense reasons like that, which have nothing to do with how good or bad the game is. If people have complaints about customer service, they should complain to customer service, not skew the ratings of the games -- possibly making people miss out on games they would have loved. The true GOG rating for Day of the Tentacle is, therefore, and highly appropriately, 5.5 out of 5. If you haven't played it, you really need to. You can't miss out on something so historically important -- which, fortunately, happens to be a brilliant game, at the same time!

So good

This is quite possibly the best remaster of a classic game I've seen so far. Seriously, just play it. This is basically as good as adventure games get. :-)

Down memory lane

I played this game in the 90s and it blew my socks of with how much fun it was. I have loved games like this as they can be frustrating at times but they also bring back a lot of gaming memories as well. It is a fun game with very good voice acting some fun puzzles and great humour as well and it is so good how they lovingly remastered it so it shows how much they care for their old games,by all means get it and have some fun.
