Did you play this game back in the day? Sliding floppy disks into your 486 or similar? If the answer is yes, then you have to buy it. Its an outstanding remaster, true to the original, updated just enough so as to not lose any of the charm. My teenage brain definitely tackled the puzzles more effectively than my more logical adult brain! It was just as sniggeringly funny as it was the first time around, a proper nostalgia trip. Maybe its time for Sam and Max next...

Sometimes you just need a good point-and-click adventure, and Day of the Tentacle completely delivers. My favorite part about these types of games is the witty and sometimes morbid humor. This is coupled with silly puzzles that are downright illogical at times, but when you consider the time traveling circumstances, it kind of makes sense, right?? The remaster is beautiful, and you can compare it to the original by pressing F1 at any time. The devs even added the FULL game Maniac Mansion that is completely playable during a section of the game which is amazing. As someone who has actually never played Maniac Mansion, this was a pleasant surprise and made me realize I probably should have played it before playing DotT. The voice acting was so goofy and perfect. I especially love Laverne and found her to be very memorable, but everyone felt perfect in their roles and complimented each other very well. The music is amazing and very fitting. I especially love how it plays each characters "theme" as you switch between characters. The music really fit each area and made it feel like you really were 200 years in the past and future. 9/10 Overall, Day of the Tentacle Remastered is a very fun point-and-click adventure that will keep you laughing, and doesn't overwhelm you with brain busting puzzles. Don't be afraid to think outside the box for this game!

This game is on my mind more often than any other, because of good reasons. It is one of my favourites and after all these years, it still holds up. Funny as hell and visually very pleasing. It is so ridiculous, I love it. It also includes Maniac Mansion, so it is technically two games in one. The price is very much worth it for this classic and 100% completing it is very much possible. I did it in under 8 hours.

Solving puzzles in this game, as with all adventure games, sometimes feels like trying to get inside the designers’ heads and understand exactly what they want you to do. It's a classic game (31 years) and the age shows. Historically, it’s an important chapter of the genre’s evolution. I didn't really play it back then, but all-in-all it's still a great game! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3245185978 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3245194144

Day of the Tentacle Remastered is really nothing more than higher definition animation sprites and background with not much changes, if any, of the music and sounds. The story, the script, the scenes are all verbatim to the original. This is simply a new splash of paint. However, if you are going to experience this game again, or for the first time, this is the way to experience this game. Day of the Tentacle is the sequel to Maniac Mansion and one of the best adventure games available in the archives of video games. You control three unique characters, Laverne, Hoagie, and Bernard. Bernard is a dork, Hoagie is all rock and roll, and Laverne is just weird. You go back to the Mansion and unfortunately let purple tentacle loose who has turned into an evil tentacle due to the sludge that is being pumped out of Dr. Fred's lab/mansion. Dr. Fred help you to use time machines so that you can defeat purple tentacle once and for all. Hoagie ends up in 1776 with George Washington and Ben Franklin, Laverne ends up 200 years in the future where purple tentacle has taken over the world, and Bernard is left in the present. The humor is laugh out loud at times and ridiculous, but this is from the same folks that made Monkey Island. The colors are vivid, the animations and sounds are fun. This is all about having fun. The puzzles don't always make sense, but eventually you will find the answer. One of the coolest gimmicks from this game is the fact that you can flush items using your time machines (porto-potty time machines, hence the flushing) to send each other items you have found in your own era. The other cool thing is that if you, for example, cut a tree in 1776, you will see the results and effects of that in the present and the future. The game is witty, really well written and blast to experience. This is the high point of LucasArts before going downhill and fazing out their point and click adventure games. Do not miss this game if you haven't played it, or get some nostalgia and play it again.
