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.

Woolytoes: Oh! Tim Schäfer needs money again?
Pre-Order from Double Fine? No, thanks!

OlausPetrus: What's wrong with Double Fine? Their adventures have been decent so far. I've got Stacking, The Cave, Broken Age and Grim Fandango Remastered and I don't have any big complaints about any of those.
I totally agree. Brütal Legend was also a masterpiece. And Hack 'n' Slash wasn't half-bad, just very quirky.

haydenaurion: Anyone remember which version of Maniac Mansion was supposed to be included in DOTT Remastered? I know Double Fine mentioned it, but I forgot which one and google is no help.
I really hope it's the enhanced version.

tburger: Maybe you could hint him that IF they give the ability to run original versions of MM/DOTT inside Scummvm - more (based on posts here) people would preorder/buy game...Linux users ...collectors...people with old/weak machines...they are waiting....
I would love to also have the originals. I know with GF I actually bought the original on disc after I bought the remaster, just so I could have both.

Thing is that there are two PC versions. The first is the original Commodore version, and is very inferior graphically to the enhanced (or version 2) one that came a bit later. Now, what is completely strange, is that in the original DotT both of those versions were feature, but you would get one depending on which language you played DotT in, because version 2 of MM (the better version) had more translation. The weird thing is that in English, the version defaults to version 1, the inferior version... which kinda sucks.

Weird.

Hopefully whatever version it is has the Tandy sound, I rather like that version of the sound.

Two questions. Maybe someone already answered them?

1. Do we get Galaxy achievements this time?
2. Is the german version (texts and voices) the old one?
Posted March 11, 2016
Pre-order! Remastered! Yay! No.

Rincewind81: 2. Is the german version (texts and voices) the old one?
Yes, absolutely. There have not been any new voiceover recordings for DotT (neither English nor German), and as far as I know, they could not even get the 1993 German voiceover files in a higher quality. :|

shmerl: Why is the Linux version not listed? Weren't they planning to make one?
Yes they were and I just noticed that it's missing as well. We'd like an answer on this GOG, please. Has it been delayed?

Oh! You mean that you have missed that Tim Schaefer has misplaced $2.5 million dollars from a kickstarter campain (Broken Age) and that he dumped another kickstarter game half-finished (Spacebase DF-9) on the market?

You may wonder how about 6 million dollar went into the making of Broken Age, you absolutely can and I definitely do.

But neither was that money "misplaced" (i.e. no fraudulent activity whatsoever has taken place) nor was there ever a Kickstarter campaign for DF-9.

Nasty!
