    Default Day of the Tentacle

    I was wondering if anyone has played, heard of or owned the PC game day of the tentacle? it is a very fun game.
    Or heard of Sam and Max hit the road either.
    Somebody once told me to get a life.

    I told them I sold it for money to buy video games.

    Full Throttle is the motorcycle game.

    The Dig was also a very good Lucasarts game, as well as the infamous Grim Fandango, and Monkey Island.

    I really dug these games! Classics for sure!

    Sam & Max kicks ass! That's one those games that deserves a sequel. Played a little bit of Full Throttle but never Day of the Tenticle.

    Wasn't "Day of the Tentacle" the sequel to "Maniac Mansion"?
    Actully, it was! I played the game at my uncles house, and then later found out that he threw the game away! I was pretty mad. It was my favorite game. later i found out about Maniac mansion, and i bought it on ebay as fast as i could. Its very fun.

    The Dig was also a very good Lucasarts game, as well as the infamous Grim Fandango, and Monkey Island.
    Also, i love the monkey island games. they rock as well. I was thinking of buying grim fandango, but i dont know what it is. i know its made by lucasarts. Is it like day of the tentacle, maniac mansion, sam and max, or the monkey island games at all?

    Default those games....

    Yes, grim fandango is similar in play style to Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max, and Full Throttle.

    I own Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max, and also Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (by the same team that did the other two).

    Default MM in DotT...

    I hope you guys know that the original version of Maniac Mansion is hidden in the Day of the Tentacle game. I forget how to get to it but it is in there.

    I LOVE Day of the Tentacle!! There was something so damn funny about Hoagie trying to pick up George Washington's maid, and Harold was hilarious as well.

    I haven't played Day of the Tentacle, but if you like Maniac Mansion type games, Zak McKracken is another winner!

    Lucasarts released a nice combo pack or two with most of those games. Lucasarts Archive Vol. 1 contained Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max Hit the Road,
    Rebel Assault, and Star Wars Screen Entertainment. Unfortunately, they now offically sell only a reduced version containing just those first three, and it's still $30...

    LucasArts Archive Vol. 3 consisted of Dark Forces, The Dig, Full Throttle, Afterlife, Monkey Island, and Monkey Island 2, but it's not as common.

    Sam and Max is wooonderful, and the comic version (though sadly out of print) is also yummy.
    I liked video games but wasn't very good at them, maniac mansion I adored and actually beat.. thanks to that loose brick in the dungeon, hehe.
    dott is funny too, we had a pirated one so we had to keep guessing the blueprints everytime we wanted to play but it was worth it

    Default Grim Fandango

    For the guy asking if Grim Fandango is good...it's my personal choice for best video game of all time. Everything about that game is just pure ART. I'm in love with it. It's an adventure game just like all the rest, but with, obviously, a lot more love and time put into it. I would recommend Grim Fandango to everyone.

    Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade was another 'Point and Click Adventure'. Also, Loom was great too.

    My uncle also had an indiana jones game that i think played like DOTT. Also i just want to confirm that Grim Fandango is like DOTT and Sam and Max hit the road.

    Those games rock.. I'd love to pick up a copy of those. The last time I tried to run a DOS game though it couldn't find my sound card.. I still play Monkey island on my Amiga, but I also have it for Sega CD.. I wish tenticle and sam and max had made it to sega cd
