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

    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!’).

    There may be some aspects that time and later iterations have improved upon, sure. But you can definitely understand why this work is a classic, and whatever flaws time has revealed pale in comparison to the quality of the original experience.

This game originally came out way back in 1993 but has now been remastered and made accessible to gamers of this generation. This is a classic adventure game so some of the puzzles do require a lot of esoteric knowledge, I'll admit I did refer to a guide more than a few times but it isn't frustrating and remains mostly enjoyable. It's also one of the shorter adventure games out there, but I think that works to it's advantage, if it was any longer it would have been boring and would have felt padded out unnecessarily. The story of this game revolves around time travelling thus adding a time travel mechanic to the puzzles that's very smartly done. Certain actions performed in the past have repercussions in the future and it creates unique opportunities to solve certain puzzles using the element of time.

    Overall it's a fantastic adventure game that's very true to the genre and for any fans of adventure games this is a must play. No bugs, no technical difficulties, runs smooth and is even playable on older machines.    … Expand
