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. It’s coming to Windows, OSX, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita early next year! Read less

Just finished replaying the remake of this on Vita.

Just finished replaying the remake of this on Vita.

I updated my review to 5 stars from 4 stars because I feel like I was a little harsh when I played through it the first time. I played a copy of it about 3 years ago, and I did it all in one sitting I believe. I got really frustrated at a couple of puzzles towards the end, and docked the game for that. That's not how to play an adventure game. Just stop playing when you can't figure it out, and come back to it later. You'll figure it out if it's a fair puzzle.

This game is pretty brilliant as far as adventure games go. The puzzles are more straightforward than almost any adventure game from its era. The dialog is funny, the characters and voices are great. The remaster looks and sounds awesome. I highly recommend this if you're into adventure games.
