	Review: Day of the Tentacle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		In a quest to stop Purple Tentacle's inevitable conquest of the world (and to save their own hides) three unlikely heroes will travel across time to halt the Day of the Tentacle.
		Day of the Tentacle never has a boring moment, at least puzzle-wise, so I give the puzzles an A. Day of the Tentacle is based on LucasArts's SCUMM verb/noun interface, so the gameplay is very stable.
		That aside, the animations in Day of the Tentacle are wonderful and the graphics are crisp and colorful despite their age.

		Tentacles can refer to the elongated flexible organs that are present in some animals, especially invertebrates, and sometimes to the hairs of the leaves of some insectivorous plants.
		The caecilians have two tentacles at their head, which are probably used for the olfactory sense, in addition to their nose.
		In carnivorous plants, tentacles refer to the stalked glands of the upper surface of the leaves.

		The brilliant, hilarious, and innovative creation of design veterans Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman, Day of the Tentacle is a sequel to Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick's venerable 1988 point and click progenitor, Maniac Mansion (the entirety of which is playable on a computer from within DOTT).
		The main Tentacle theme, first introduced near the end of the opening titles, is a bit of inspired genius.

		DOTT and Sam & Max are two of the best (and funniest) original adventure games for the PC, regardless of how old they now are.
		'Day Of The Tentacle' was the first of the two to be released and was a sequel to Maniac Mansion, a hideously ugly CGA monstrosity from 1988.
		While 'Day Of The Tentacle' was basically set in the same house across three centuries, 'Sam & Max' is set in countless beautifully realized surreal environments, the World's Largest Ball Of String being one of the more notable examples.

	Deskchair Adventurer - Day of the Tentacle Game Review
		In the unlikely event that I ever teach a class in adventure game design, I think I would start the students off with Day of the Tentacle, so they could see exactly how it's supposed to be done.
		Because Day of the Tentacle has the sort of puzzle design, clever story and witty dialogue that come along so rarely that when you see it you say, oh yeah, that's why I like adventure games!
		DOTT is a sequel to Maniac Mansion (which can be played in DOTT as a game-within-a-game on Ed Edison's computer), although stylistically it's more akin to Sam & Max Hit the Road.

	Playing Day of the Tentacle on Windows XP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		You can find the original CD for DOTT in second-hand stores, and Lucasarts has released it on CD and (I believe) on DVD-ROM - but in all cases they've not updated it to run on Windows, and it generally needs some coaxing to work properly.
		Windows XP does a pretty good job of emulating a ten-year old DOS platform, at least as far as gameplay and graphics go, but it doesn't do a good job emulating the antique sound hardware of that era.
		I've not figured out a straightforward fix for this, as the DOTT executable also looks in that same current drive for game files.

		Day of the Tentacle is certainly one of the most popular and well-loved graphical adventure games.
		In short, Day of the Tentacle is definitely a great achievement.

	RPGFan Reviews - Maniac Mansion 2: Day of the Tentacle
		One day at the ancestral Edison home, Purple and Green Tentacle were exploring the grounds when they stumbled upon a toxic waste-filled river.
		Like many LA titles, Day of the Tentacle tries to be as ridiculous as possible, and as usual, the jokes, insults, and one-liners are excellent.
		Maniac Mansion 2: Day of the Tentacle is one of the greatest adventure games ever made with a perfect level of difficulty, a well-made control scheme, and enough entertainment value to make you go back through at least once.

		But when the machine breaks down, Hoagie is stranded 200 years in the past, Laverne is thrown into a world ruled by tentacles 200 years in the future, and Bernard remains in the present day.
		Its puzzles have a warped sort of logic; a lot of them require bizarre alterations of history (such as having Betsy Ross alter the USA flag to be tentacle-shaped, providing Laverne with a handy disguise).
		Tim Schafer went on to design the classics Full Throttle and Grim Fandango, but DOTT is certainly enough to make his name a legend among adventure fans.

		One of the few areas left untouched by the tentacles held a large, ancient kumquat tree.
