You can download Day of the Tentacle Remastered on Xbox Game Pass now. While a visual update has the game looking more vibrant than ever, players can still play the game using the original 1993 graphics by switching back and forth with the click of a button at any time. As a sequel, it’s also filled with Easter eggs for Maniac Mansion fans - such as Maniac Mansion itself, with the full game of the original PC version available to play on Weird Ed’s computer.

If that doesn’t sell you on the game, I don’t know what will.ĭay of the Tentacle is a real gem of years gone by, and definitely a must-play game for fans of classic point-and-click adventure games. Fortunately, with Bernard still operating in the present day, the three can send items to each other through time by flushing them down the John. She’ll need to find out how to get back to the present and prevent this dystopian future from becoming a reality. Meanwhile, Laverne winds up 200 years in the future, landing in a world completely overtaken by thousands of Purple Tentacle clones that have since enslaved all of humanity. Meeting famous historical figures like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson, the shaggy metalhead must figure out a way to power up his time-traveling “Chron-o-John” to get back home. Fred is perhaps not as sharp of a mad scientist as he thinks he is, Hoagie is inadvertently sent 200 years in the past.
