Game works without issues with the basic Windows compatibility settings. Really unique 2D RTS title - haven't played anything quite like it. Would be nice to find it widely available again - The company who owned the rights doesn't exist anymore. Todd Templeman might know more - he is one of the original founders.
The others have already pointed out why this one should make it to gog. I only wanted to emphasize the quality of the soundtrack. That alone should be argument enough.
Aside from that, there is also another wishlist entry for this game with more than 600 votes.
Ahh, The Tone Rebellion! That’s a deep cut—definitely one of the most unique RTS games ever made. The whole concept of controlling different tribes of floating psychic jellyfish (the Struggle) against the creeping darkness (the Tone) was surreal. It wasn’t just about base-building and combat but also about managing the mystical energy flow.
And yeah, that OST? Pure atmospheric brilliance. Those eerie, ambient tracks made the game feel otherworldly. Hard to find another RTS that captures that same dreamlike quality.
This one is a unique RTS with a moody, alien atmosphere and somewhat adventure-style elements, if I remember correctly. Figuring out how it all works was enchanting, and wanting to see what comes next part of its allure. I would love to be able to play this one again and believe that it would be a breath of fresh air for many who would experience this for the first time.
I love this game, was my first RTS played.
The music, the gameplay, enviroment and story (very simple tho) are very unique. This game marked my childhood.
Is so sad that is not a very known game, it deserves to come back and more people to know this magnific title. It inspired me so much and keeps inspiring me nowadays.
Day of the TentacleDay of the Tentacle, also known as Maniac Mansion II: Day of the Tentacle, is a 1993 graphic adventure game developed and published by LucasArts. It is the sequel to the 1987 game Maniac Mansion. The game's plot follows Bernard Bernoulli and his friends Hoagie and Laverne as they attempt to stop the evil Purple Tentacle — a sentient, disembodied tentacle — from taking over the world. The player takes control of the three and solves puzzles while using time travel to explore different periods of history.
Dave Grossman and Tim Schafer co-led the game's development, their first time in such a role. The pair carried over a limited amount of elements from Maniac Mansion and forwent the character selection aspect to simplify development. Inspirations included Chuck Jones cartoons and the history of the United States. Day of the Tentacle is the eighth LucasArts title to use the SCUMM engine, and the company's first title to feature voice acting.
The game was released simultaneously on floppy disk and CD-ROM to critical acclaim and commercial success. Critics focused on its cartoon-style visuals and comedic elements. Day of the Tentacle has featured regularly in lists of "top" games published more than two decades after its release, and aspects have been referenced in popular culture.Fantasy Historical Comedy Science fiction

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
Leisure Suit Larry 2: Goes Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places)Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love (In Several Wrong Places) is the second game in Al Lowe's Leisure Suit Larry series. Continuing the plot of the previous game, the swinging single Larry Laffer has finally found his true love and is happily living with her. Right? Wrong!.. Because Larry is mercilessly thrown out by his great love and is left all alone, penniless, and womanless, in Los Angeles. Accidentally, Larry comes into contact with KGB agents who will pursue him all over the globe from now on. And there is also the evil doctor Noontonyt plotting evil schemes on a remote tropical island... Looks like Larry will have to forget about his women-related problems for now... or is it so?
The second game in the series introduces an improved engine (allowing for full-screen graphics and mouse control for movement). As opposed to the first game, which relied on exploration of one large area, the sequel has a more linear progression, the player being continuously taken to new locations as dictated by the plot. There are less puzzles in this installment than in the previous game; however, the number of ways to die has increased, danger awaiting Larry in most places he visits.Comedy
