Day of the Tentacle is now available for £6.70 (8,99$) @ Humble Store; and for £6.59 @ Steam.
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

➤Commentary track with original creators: Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman, Larry Ahern, Peter Chan, Peter McConnell and Clint Bajakian.

Seeing as how no-one yet has mentioned operating system support, it is available for Linux/SteamOS, Mac OSX and Microsoft Windows.

Good game, I played the original back in the day, bought this recently and I could still remember pretty much everything, took me about 2 hours to complete. They don't make like this anymore haha.
Great game, and a great starting point for actor Jorge Garcia (Lost)

Seriously? I think that's a bit ill judged for a post that's actually informative and helpful. Is there not a Pokemon that you should be finding?

Nice insult - I think ... not sure if Pokemon can really be used as an insult, but nice try ...
My point is that as soon as you click the link, there is an info-graphic to the right showing you Platform and Operating system - to take the time to post the same here is just a little dull ... surely there are better things to be doing (even making up Pokemon insults) than rehashing info from one site to another :smiley:

Some info that isn't on the store page ... In 'present day', take Bernard up to the first floor of the mansion. In the room with the stamp collector, there is a computer. Use the computer to start Maniac Mansion!
2 Games for the price of one ...

Just like the original release of "Day of the Tentacle".
I'm pretty sure my post took a lot less time than yours did, and I can't think of much more boring and pointless than going off to find an insulting meme specifically to reply to a post and not add any useful content of your own. I'm sure I'm not alone in finding these meme images tedious. I'm sure that doesn't reflect on you at all though.
I just don't get you.

I've just re-read your posts and see no useful content either ...
At least if you look above your last post I have tried to provide some additional information
People are strange!

There wasn't supposed to be any useful content in any of my posts, besides the first. The rest have just been responding to your bull. Whether you personally found the info useful or not doesn't really matter. There is plenty of info in the original post that can also be easily seen by clicking through to the deal. The info I provided was intended to save people from having to click through to the deal to see this information. That you can't see that someone would appreciate that info is just dumb.
It was a more useful and less toxic post than your first one (which did nothing but insult me), and sticking in a late post (when no-one else is even looking at this thread anymore) in some lame attempt to seem like you have contributed something rather than just messing the whole thread up.
