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.

I discovered the point & click games with Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max Hit The Road.
Good to know there will be a digital release, so I guess it's the same retro/modern mix than for Monkey Island I and II, where you can switch from the original version to a remastered version by pressing F1.

I hope french subtitles will be included.

ReynardFox: 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.
Looks slavishly faithful to the original to me. You might be put off because low-res pixel graphics imply a level of detail that doesn't exist. The higher-res graphics remove that illusion. Other than that, it's just larger, smoother versions of the original art.

I wish Monkey Island's remade art was as good as this.

That is exactly right. Though people will endlessly complain about the modern version, just ignore them. It'll be quality. :D

tburger: 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?
More people use XP then Linux. Just saying.
Nice, but 10% off isn't enough to persuade me to pre-order a regionally priced game.
I'll just stick with the original for now.
and pre-order. Wooooh!

skimmie: 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.
Computer is placed in Weird Ed's room in present times. Ed is a philatelist, he's studying his stamps - cannot miss him. :)

At least this one is probably going to be finished *cough* Spacebase DF-9 *cough* and released in one part *cough* Broken Age *cough*
Nice! I guess it would be foolish not to wish to play such a legendary game, so let's add it to the list.
Tentacular! Now work your butts off on that Full Throttle Remastered once this releases.
