    The genre has advanced, but Day of the Tentacle shows why it was a revered classic in the LucasArts and SCUMM days. I played this one in pretty much one straight shot through, and while you'll really want to be patient (or have walkthroughs handy), you'll likely have as much fun as I did.

    Those who are new to the genre would do well to give this game a shot as it not only is a classic point-and-click adventure but it is also one of its very best. The writing manages to be both low-brow and a bit crass at times while still being affable and sardonic in others. It has aged extremely well and, better still, it includes the original version of Manic Mansion inside the game. Day of the Tentacle is one of the great ones and whether you're a newcomer or an old hand it is well worth taking the plunge again.
