## What is Day of the Tentacle Remastered?

Dr. Fred’s mutated purple tentacle is about to take over the world, and only you can stop him!

Originally released by LucasArts in 1993 as a sequel to Ron Gilbert’s ground breaking Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle is a mind-bending, time travel, cartoon puzzle adventure game in which three unlikely friends work together to prevent an evil mutated purple tentacle from taking over the world!

Now, over twenty years later, Day of the Tentacle is back in a remastered edition that features all new hand-drawn, high resolution artwork, with remastered audio, music and sound effects (which the original 90s marketing blurb described as ‘zany!’).

Players are able to switch back and forth between classic and remastered modes, and mix and match audio, graphics and user interface to their heart’s desire. We’ve also included a concept art browser, and recorded a commentary track with the game’s original creators Tim Schafer, Dave Grossman, Larry Ahern, Peter Chan, Peter McConnell and Clint Bajakian.

Day of the Tentacle was Tim Schafer’s first game as co-project lead, and a much beloved cult classic! This special edition has been lovingly restored and remade with the care and attention that can only come from involving the game's original creators.

### 5/5 — Absolument génial!!!

*2026-05-17*

Bravo pour ce superbe portage!!! Quel beau boulot! Félicitations!!! Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas cette merveille, achetez le sans hésiter. Ce jeu fait partie de l'histoire... 😆 c'est LE point-and-click à avoir fait une fois dans sa vie! Et si vous le terminez, vous serez marqué à jamais!! 😇 Pour les nostalgiques, vous ne pouvez pas être déçu. Vous pouvez jouer à la version originale, mais le remastered est parfait!!!

### 3/5 — Still one of my favorites

*2026-03-19, version 1.2.1*

..but 2.77GB, really?  
The original core game (without voiceover) was six floppy disks, so less than 20MB (0.02GB). Adding voices in the CD-ROM version made it max 700MB.  
Not sure how switching to vector graphics for the iOS version could have blown this game up so much.

### 5/5 — War früher schon super...

*2026-03-14*

...und heute erst recht. laden und Knobeln. Einfach klasse!!! Das beste Adventure, ähnlich wie Monkey Island. Einfach nur super. Vor allem ist die Grafik wie früher, und das ist genau richtig so. Und Leute, es ist nicht einfach aber lösbar. Und lustige Gags dazu. Habe es vor Jahren mal durchgespielt und fange jetzt nochmal an.

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2026-03-13, version 1.2.1*

Game play sucks
The action menu is only available for a flash, and you can’t do anything. Complete waste of time and money,not the great game as it was on P.C. This version sucks.

### 5/5 — Genial!

*2025-10-26, version 1.2.1*

Diese Umsetzung ist so gut geglückt, das ich garnicht weiß, wo ich mit meinem Lob ansetzen soll. Danke und KUSS !!!

### 5/5 — Reborn MS-DOS Classic in your pocket!!!

*2025-08-18, version 1.2.1*

Rich Story, Mouse not officaly supported, but it works. Please add hot keys for keyboard players. It would really help. This 1993 DOS Classic is an all time hit, and with remastered music as well the original, that is GREAT!!!!!!!!! Thank you double fine, for bringing this award winning point and click adventure title to IpadOS, IOS , And MACOS!!!

### 3/5 — Alte Version mit bessere Grafik

*2025-07-11*

Die Steuerung ist zu komplex, es ist nicht wirklich a die heutige Zeit angepasst, ja es ist ein remake, doch ich erwarte mehr als nur eine bessere Grafik. Es wurde Geld gespart, dies merkt man ganz deutlich, nichts im Vergleich zum Remake von Monkey Island, das ist einfach grandios geworden und meine Messlatte für andere Remakes. Entweder man macht es richtig, oder gar nicht und nur um Geld zu verdienen, mit ein wenig Politur drüber , reicht mir nicht. Meine Meinung : Reinfall, da kann ich direkt die alte Version spielen.

### 5/5 — Großartiges Revival - aber Sound nur über Kopfhörer und kein Vollbild auf dem iPad

*2025-07-01*

Oft hat man ja verklärte Erinnerungen an alte Filme oder Spiele und man ist bei einem Wiedersehen nach 30 Jahren oft genug enttäuscht, wenn man feststellt, dass sie schlecht gealtert sind.  Nicht bei diesem Spiel: es ist sogar besser als erwartet und sehr gut gealtert, am Spaß hat es nichts eingebüßt. Beim erstem Start war ich zunächst enttäuscht: kein Sound! Aber mit Kopfhörern geht es zum Glück. Die Grafik wurde liebevoll und detailliert aufgearbeitet, man kann aber auch das Spiel in Originalauflösung pixelig bei vollem Retro-Feeling spielen. Nur schade, dass es auf dem iPad nicht bildschirmfüllend ist. Aber es lohnt sich für alte Hasen genauso wie für neue, die von der Fantasie- und Humorlosigkeit mancher zeitgenössischer Spiele gelangweilt sind.

### 5/5 — Excelente Juego

*2025-06-10, version 1.2.1*

Un clásico vuelto a la vida un espectacular juego que no pasa de moda

### 5/5 — Clássico dos anos 90

*2025-04-21, version 1.2.1*

Clássico!!! Que posso dizer?
