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 now available for Windows and Mac, DRM-free on GOG.com.

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 how we are 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 concept-art browser. Should your hankering for past loves persist, you can still access the fully playable version of the original Maniac Mansion from within the game and learn what started this whole craziness.



Mess around with time, space, and radioactive sludge and go back to the <span class="bold">Day of the Tentacle</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
I am glad I can play the game again whether it is original or remastered. I do own the original CDs but I have to jerry rig the game myself and rather glad GOG has it. I have no complaints just glad I can enjoy it again.

maz.588: And it has been a trend with too many LA releases. We had to be very vocal to get CD-ROM versions of X-Wing and Tie Fighter. MI 1&2 and GF have no classic release. Fate of Atlantis and S&M hit the road had (still have ?) compressed monster.sou, making them unusable without scummvm. And I might forget some.
I don't know about S&M but Indy4 was updated with uncompressed sound file.

Crosmando: The original graphics actually look better to me, something about the ultra-smooth new graphics doesn't work for me.
I agree but this is why the remastered version have the ingame option to switch to the original graphics. you can change it while playing. I wanted to play DoTT for a while but I didn't want to install dosBox, now I can play either original graphics or remastered one, and change while playing. And the commentary is just great.

Probably because you like to see the individual sprite work and appreiciate the artist for making such graphics out of basically squares.

I would assume that is simply nostalgia. It is pretty hard on the eyes.

No? The new graphics have a Flash look to me.

I agree with them, the new graphics look kinda cheap.
Is that nostalgia towards retro graphics? :P

Dosbox isn't needed... Scummvm does a good job, along with MUNT, the sound is awesome.
Does it have Achievements?
Has anyone tried this with linux mint or ubuntu?

Yes. Honestly, the visual quality of the remastered version is terrific. It is the same style, the same colour saturation, the same number of details, without any added effects or textures. This is like switching from a low-resolution display to a high-resolution display. If the remastered versions looks cheap then only because the original is also. This is a very faithful reproduction.

Personally I'm liking the HR graphics better (and this is coming from a person who played the original back in the 90's pretty soon after it was originally released and was 13 or so).

The biggest bonus of this version is the remastered voice acting though. The quality of it is superb and it sounds as good as it would have been recorded recently just for this remaster.
