What possible harm can one crazy, mutant tentacle do?

<span class="bold">Day of the Tentacle</span>, the grand return of the grandest adventure of all, is available for pre-order now, only on GOG.com with a 10% discount for the first two weeks!

A crazy mutant tentacle is on the loose, plotting to take over the world. How you ask? That's not important right now! We need to be thinking about the how, just how are we going to fix this? Super simply, by going back to yesterday!

Alongside Grim Fandango, Monkey Island, Sam & Max, and Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle sits without question among the legendary golden-era adventures. Now, straight from the early '90s, Day of the Tentacle arrives in our dystopian future of 2016 — back for a blast from the past for those who missed it, and a shot of nostalgia for those who just miss it.

Day of the Tentacle Remastered is all the adventure you may remember with an optional layer of sweet improvements on top. You can mix and match between the unmistakably 1990s pixely art and a fresh high-res coat of paint, remastered audio, and an all new interface. There are extra goodies in the Remastered release as well, including in-game developer commentary and a fully playable version of the original Maniac Mansion. Your pre-order also comes with three exclusive Day of the Tentacle wallpapers, available right away to fuel your anticipation.


But don't take our word for it. Take it from the guy behind it all: <div class="embedded_video"><iframe class="embedded_video__file" width="775" height="436" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jsHKPPHdm7o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>


Welcome back to the <span class="bold">Day of the Tentacle</span>, available for pre-order now, exclusively on GOG.com! The pre-order discount will last for two weeks, until March 22, 8:59 PM GMT.

Forum popping. You may actually get me to watch the stream as well, assuming I remember it.
Does it REALLY support XP but does NOT support Linux - or it's just inconsistency on gamecard?

Is Maniac Mansion a separate game that runs in SCUMMVM or it's placed 'inside' DoT?

There was a small bug in the post, stream starts at 7 PM GMT / 20:00 CET.
Hope to see you there!
Does anyone else find the redrawn graphics in this really cheap and gross looking?

Given this promises a toggle between original and remastered mode though means I'll snap this up when it arrives.

Yay. On the other hand, I would have been completely satisfied with the DOS version.

Unless I'm seeing something different, they look near enough perfect.
I usually do not preorder and I usually do not buy games at their full price (I'm poor and cheap, yes).
This time, I might do both.

I feel like I could... like I could... like I could... TAKE ON THE WORLD!!
ooh DRM-Free 10% off Bonus Wallpapers?

MM is placed 'inside' DOTT (at least it was in the original version). Once you advance far enough in Day of the Tentacle, there is a computer somewhere that allows you to play Maniac Mansion.

You can toggle on-the-go with F1 button, which changes both music and graphics. The smooth transition everytime you press the button is just on point.
