What? I'm not even asking that anyone agree with me on this. I just want people to stop, think logically for a bit, and realize that there are a lot of very strong gameplay and content differences between Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle, and realize that a person who is a huge fan of Maniac Mansion, and someone who(at the time) thought Maniac Mansion changed
everything about games for them forever, might dislike Day of the Tentacle as a sequel to what may be their most beloved game of all time. Is this so much of a problem that it deserves a wave of the hand and a complete dismissal of the opinion's very validity? I mean, even for a huge fan of the sequel in question(which you obviously are, I can see your forum icon after all), that seems a bit rude.
Oh come on, don't be an ass. =P
