    This game really deserves to be on top list. One of the best I ever played. It has a lot of humor, crazy creatures, mad scientist, playing with history and a lot more. If you havent tried it, you should do it, today.

    One of the greatest games of all time (certainly my favourite). If you can, go buy it (it's cheap, and the cd-rom 'talkie' version is much more than the smaller, floppy disk version that you're likely to find if you steal it online). Oh, and try not to cheat... a walkthrough really shortens a game that you want to spend as much time as possible playing.

    Man I used to play this game AGES ago on my old PowerMac. This game was awesome for the time and hilarious too. Can't get much better for point and click games.

    Classic... i loved this game so much, and i am saddened by the relative disappearance of the comedy adventure genre. let us hope that it will come back soon!

    The pinnacle of this game genre, with it's quick wit, engaging light-hearted storyline, and moderately challenging puzzles.

    Insane, mutant tentacles. A frozen hamster. Three distinct playable characters. Time travel. Fake barf. Truly, this game has it all. One other thing Day of the Tentacle has in no short supply is charm. It's got that in spades. Everything about this game just comes together beautifully.

    One hell of a game. Stop the IRS, end human slavery, and a dramatic final showdown with huge tentacles. Sounds like a recipe for some perveted anime, but it's nothing of the sort. Rather it's just one freakish and funny ride into the minds of Dave Grossman and Tim Schafer.

    It's one of those games that will capture you utterly, and take you along on a wonderfully entertaining ride and, in my opinion, it shouldn't be missed by any self-respecting adventurer with a good sense of humour. If you've already played it, then play it again, if you haven't, then there's a real treat waiting in store.
