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!
