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!

One of the best point n' click

I have nothing more to add, the other reviewers already covered what I was going to say. Just buy it already! This one and the Fate of Atlantis are on my top 10 list, the best games ever. *Tested on both Windows and Arch Linux, works perfect.

My first point and click adventure game

This game was a lot of fun! The world is popping with personality, and exploring the whacky world is legitimately fun. The only reason why I didn't give it five stars is because this game would be very difficult to beat without a walkthrough. For me at least, some of the solutions are a little bit out there.

Best of the classic adventure games

Day of the Tentacle may be the best classic point-and-click adventure ever made. Great witty writing, memorable characters, and inventive puzzle design. Aside from one BS puzzle (the one with the horse), it actually has a consistent internal logic throughout, so you are not just mashing one item on another ad infinitum. Well, you can if you want to. The original presentation still holds up fine, but I appreciate the new coat of paint this remaster has. And unlike CERTAIN games (looking at you, Grim Fandango), this version of the game isn't beset by constant crashes. Worth a purchase.

good and funny but sometimes hard

It's a nice time travel non-linear graphic adventure, dialogs are really ironic and puzzles are well made BUT it's not an easy game. There is no hint system in this review. The original Maniac Mansion can be played inside the game as well

Relaxed Grand Old Game

Good game, good jokes, updated graphics. I much prefer the old pixel version, which is also part of the package, however. Runs well.
