Day of the Tentacle

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.

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.

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...

This is old school adventure gaming at its finest. There was so much comedy in this. The story centres on Bernard Bernoulli and his mates, Hoagie and Laverne as they try to stop the evil Purple Tentacle - a sentient, disembodied tentacle from world domination. When you play the game, you play the three protagonists, travelling through various parts of history and solving various puzzles. It's a pretty fun point-and-click style adventure game that has great writing and voice acting. It's definitely got some challenging puzzles that can be a bit frustrating to overcome, but stick with it, it's worth it for this story!

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
