Dr. Fred’s mutated purple tentacle is about to take over the world, and only you can stop him!
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.

This plus six other games for £5.37 from Humble Bundle.
Link is dead pal, needs editing to remove the full stop.

"How about an amendment that the President has to be a human being?"
Could have stopped Trump with that one! :stuck_out_tongue:

Why would you do that? You just know it's going to turn into another political argument thread now :stuck_out_tongue:

People won't believe this but I remember when this used to cost something like £50 (and not accounting for inflation) and you had to swap cd-roms during the game.

I remember it drawing a crowd at my local indie, those were the days!
Other crowdpleasers included: Cobra Command (Mega CD), Rock n' Roll Racing (Snes), Need for Speed (3DO), Space Ace (CD-i), WipEout (PS1), Mario 64 (N64).

The original came on a single CD-Rom (with speech) or about 7 floppies (I think) which didn't have speech.
So I think you're remembering the floppy version.
I've still got the Toblerone shaped box it came in

I give these games heat, regardless of how much they are when posted :laughing: I clearly have too much love for these point & click games <3

You're dead right. Was thinking of the floppy discs. And yes Sam n'Max was also a favourite - if you got stuck you just had to keep plugging away until you figured it out with no internet to help you!

Hows the remaster on this one? I recall Grim Fandango not exactly being an amazing remaster, so slightly concerned they are just phoning it in and not giving it the treatment it really deserves.
