Day of the Tentacle

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 ...

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...

They don't make them like this anymore. Day Of The Tentacle was a wonderfully deranged story of young teenagers warping back and fourth in time to stop the evil tentacle from claiming world domination. With all the heart and soul of a great kids movie, this really was a treat of a game. Playing three different characters in three different times makes the game more dimensional than later work such as Full Throttle (1995) and wonderful puzzles provide a great challenge. In 2006 it might not be as mind blowing as playing Half-Life 2 but it's well worth a go, especially as it still retains it's charm and ingenuity. Not as great as Monkey Island, but still great.

I remember buying this game at a trip I did. There it was: A new Lucas Arts game! I have played most of their previous games like Indiana Jones, Maniac Mansion and so on and I bought it instantly. I couldn't wait to get back home to play it. The graphic both amused and amazed me. The plot was great and playing it was funny as hell. After I finished the game, I was somewhat sad. I put it away and hoped I would forget all about how the game was solved and now, "some" years later, I got it as a present from my cousin in a Lucas Arts game box (christmas of 2003). I have not had time to play it until recently, and although I remember a lot of the puzzles, I have forgotten most of it, so the plan worked ;) - Day of the tentacle is a all time hall of fame for adventure games. No doubt. Two thumbs up. WAY up! Pure class.

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
