It's not hard to see why this game is still considered a classic, even for those who aren't superfans of the point and click adventure genre. I played Maniac Mansion on NES years ago and loved it, and while this game is a bit of a departure from it (you don't build a party at the beginning, the three characters don't interact in the same environments), it brings a lot of fun new elements to the table, like the amazing voicework (apart from Laverne, who feels almost comatose by comparison). The graphics (I played the "retro version", which I'd recommend) are fun and colorful and cartoony, and remind me distinctly of Earthwork Jim. One of my few complaints about the game is the sound design; it's full to bursting with all manner of rehashed Saturday morning cartoon sound effects, which work fine, but the background music is drab and uninteresting. I only bring it up because Maniac Mansion had some of the best music of any game of any generation. The game does have some intensely moon brain puzzle logic, but in my experience if you're playing a tongue-in-cheek cartoony point and click game, that's part of the package. One of the achievements, which you get after a particularly implausible puzzle, is actually called "Oh yeah, I'm playing a cartoon". This game isn't for everyone, just as this genre isn't for everyone. But if it's For You, you'll know it.

Love love love this game ! Originally had this game on a old Win 95 comptuer without sound ! This was so good to replay with sound ! Loved this game so much. I don't know why but i was hoping for a little bit more in a remaster. I can remember getting stuck for a long time over one simple action and be like "holy fuck, that's what i had to do ?!?!?!?!? . Bought this game and beat it in a 2 hour session, just love love love this game ! Impossible to lose at this game unless you are not crafty and able to read the storyline well !!!

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...

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.
