Day of the Tentacle

Though the statement above probably sounds a bit cliched and exaggerated, it's entirely the truth. DOTT is well-animated, hilarious, and a blast to play. It's got a ton of killer lines in it too, like "You know what they say; If you wanna save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs!"

Find this game and buy it if you can. Better yet, get the first LucasArts Entertainment Pack. You'll be up to your eyes in funny adventures!

10/10 on My Personal Scale

I love video games of all types, but graphic adventures hold a place in my heart like no other. Of all of the great point-and-click adventures that I can give a 10/10 to, which is a lot of games, I put Day of the Tentacle ABOVE even those, because it alone stands the test of time and is just as fun now as it was over 10 years ago... except the Monkey Islands were equally good as well... except part 4 when they dropped the hand- drawn graphics and went 3-D...meh. All I know is: if I was rich, I would produce games for Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer to create for the public. We need them... ANYWAY

This game is hilarious with gorgeous hand drawn animations/graphics/backgrounds, the voice acting is top-notch, the writing is incredible (dialogue and plot). There are elements to this game that will stay with you forever. The mark of a truly great game.

I have played through tons and tons of games all the way from Pong when I was really young to the Xbox360 and nothing is as meaningful to me as those great adventures where either dying didn't happen or it was at least fun to watch...

In four words: The best game ever! Cartoon-like graphics, amazing music sound effects and voice talents! And the plot line is the best I ever seen, full of nonsenses and jokes... Too bad that Lucasarts has not released a game like that since.... hmmm Monkey island 3 or Grim Fandango! (With the ol' fabulous SCUMM system :) Now we must pray and implore George Lucas to obtain finally a sequel! (Maniac Mansion 3 :)... I hope that this day will come ;)

This a absolute milestone in history of games. When i first played the game, it was 6 years ago i was suprised of the graphics and conversations in the game. It's really like a great movie=, it only takes a little longer and you'll have more fun ...

All i can say is, play it ...

One of the greatest of all time. Entertaining, with a great plot, and an excellent follow up to the video game Maniac Mansion. "WKRP in Cincinatti's" Richard Sanders is great as Bernard Bernouli, and gives him the vocal life robbed of him in the video game. Penny Roberts Hope is equally charming in her dual role as the crazed medical student Laverne and kinky nurse Edna Edison. Also of note is Denny Delk, who does a great job as the stereotypical vaudeville villan Purple, a disembodied tentacle. For any kid, for anyone who is a kid at heart, this is recommended to you.
