    Insane, mutant tentacles. A frozen hamster. Three distinct playable characters. Time travel. Fake barf. Truly, this game has it all. One other thing Day of the Tentacle has in no short supply is charm. It's got that in spades. Everything about this game just comes together beautifully.

    It's one of those games that will capture you utterly, and take you along on a wonderfully entertaining ride and, in my opinion, it shouldn't be missed by any self-respecting adventurer with a good sense of humour. If you've already played it, then play it again, if you haven't, then there's a real treat waiting in store.

    Playing the game is a lot of laughs, and is the perfect pick me up after a long day playing intensely dramatic games.

    This game is forever at the top of my list. If you like point-n-click adventure games, GET THIS! The game is a perfect mixture of entertainment, silliness, and sophisticated humor that isn't full of bathroom jokes. netjak and Adventure Gamers put it perfectly. Go out and get this game now if you have nothing to do - it's surely cheap in today's market consisting of Half Life 2 and Crysis.… Expand
