Does anyone remember Day of the tentacle?

Do you know if you can still get this game or download it from anywhere?

I have found demos but i also havent been able to find it in the shops etc. I really want to play this old classic.

I dont think you would be able to buy it, pretty dam old. Abandon ware? Wonder if i still have a copy of it at home.

it looked like a good game...i never did get aorund to playing it :(

It was quite enjoying, on par with Sam and Max hit's the road.

It used to be known as day of the testicle cause it licked so much ballz

Realy? i have never head that one before?

google results...

"Day of the Tentacle" Results 1 - 10 of about 16,900. Search took 0.50 seconds
"Day of the Testicle" Results 1 - 10 of about 35. Search took 0.66 seconds

Looks like very few found this game sucked balls with that witty punch line. http://members.optushome.com.au/scuzy/rolleyes.gif

I never heard it being called that. I must have only talked to people that like it.

But i like those types of games. And it was a very long time ago.

keyboard warrior ^^

day of teh tentacle was ok;

You must have lived a real sheltered life to not have that one dumbass

Yes, I must have been, I had no idea there were people out there so retarded that they could not appreciate what Lucas Arts were doing with the Adventure Game Genre.

Day of the tentacle was the own back in the day.

The old LA games were brilliant, and DoTT was definately one of my fav's :p I still have my copy sitting around here somewhere, shame you won't get sound unless you have an old 8bit SB or some such :p We prolly still have our copy of Loom on 5 1/4s somewhere too... ;p

loved that game... absolute classic :)

Hell yeah :D DoTT was mad fun... they don't make adventure games like they used to...

I'm sure you'd find it as abandon-ware as I downloaded it ages ago (couldn't get it working with sound either :(

Long live the 2d adventure games!

psst (try these)

Flight Of the Amazon Queen
Broken sword (I think it was called)
Curse of Monkey Island
Sam and Max: hit the road

and the rest have been lost in my memory.

or just "Monkey Island" the first one! :D
Still got the original cd somewhere :D

Its prequel was better ... Day of the Testical

DoTT's prequel? You mean Maniac Mansion, right? or is this another "haha - T is for testicle" joke?

If you want to give these games a bash on your ninja pc, go grab a copy of SCUMMvm - it's a freeware proggy that lets you play all the old LA adventure games with sound and at proper speed (there's a dreamcast version too!)

Needless to say - I'm still trying to find a copy of Maniac Mansion that lets you put Ed's (that was his name, wasn't it?) Hamster in the microwave :D

Good call dude!

Get over it ya f***ing 14yos

I always wanted to play that game, but never got a chance. It looked awsome and funny.

Ahhhh, remember the good old days of Space Quests..

Put orb in mouth....

I remember I got that puzzle right away, was happy with myself for that one.

I really, really loved the Space Quest where you start in a junk yard and have to find a space ship that works, and then you have to get all the parts.

Damn those were really creative and fun games.
The Police Quests and Kings Quests where awsome too.

Check Tyre's .... hahah

I never got into the police quests! i was too stupid :(

Put orb in mouth....

wasnt it "put gem in mouth?"

but yer, i was stuck at that bit for ages (and ages)

loved all the early sierra work (lsl, kq, aq, pq, sq, man there were a lot of quests!!)

sooo many hours of entertainment as a young fella

i would cheat though when i got stuck, by viewing the save game files and finding out what inventory items i could pick up;
solved many a problem for me;

good times, good times!

Definantly - between Sierra, Lucasarts & the other couple of companies popping out these great adventure games, the early-mid 90's were most fun :)

The only real problem with most of those tho, was the whole "once it's finished, now what?" thing...

anyhow - back to playing Monkey Island 2 :)

wasnt it "put gem in mouth?"

Yes, yes it was.

I remember going, hrm, cant use my hands or my feet.. well the mouth is free! put gem in mouth.
BLING.
yippy.

I rekon the quests where you had to type your commands were better then the point and click ones. The point and click ones came down to moving the curser around the screen untill the curser changed, or just randomly clicking inventory items on things. At least the typy ones you HAD to think to get past it.

That said, Kings Quest 5 was pretty fun still.

yer, true;
point and click ruined it;
i liked the type out what you want to do style better as well;

Kings Quest 5 was pretty fun still

Kings Quest 5 was one of those viciously vindictive games, where you could miss an item and not know it, and then never be able to get it again. For example, I remember there was one bit where you entered a screen and a rat was running along the bottom of the screen. If you didn't throw a shoe at it and kill it right then, in a the few seconds before it went off the screen, you wouldn't get a piece of cheese that you needed for the very end. And the rat would never ever come back if you missed it, and the game gave you no indication that you'd just missed something vitally important and it would let you keep playing right up till the end, where you realised you couldn't beat it and had to start all over again.

Any ole Asylum (TSR80 days) players?

LOOK UP!!

oh yeah, other great hits were Hand of Fate, Lands of Lore and some Indiana Jones game

oh the memories!

Full Throttle and The Dig were also awesome...

Nothing will ever beat the Monkey Island series though, I've laughed out loud soo much.

BTW Zork Nemesis and Grand Inquisitor (sp?) were great, mind benders.

I found the Dig to be rather dumb. It started off promising, but then when the aliens turned out to be giant chickens, I lost all respect for it.

Not forgetting the bastard step-child LARRY!

lsl, kq, aq, pq, sq

Leisure Suit Larry, Kings Quest, Police Quest and Space Quest.

What the heck is AQ? I can't remember! (This is driving me insane)

Aquest és el primer joc que va
fer Lucas

Who could forget 'The Adventures of Willy Bemish' !!!!

KQ6 was the best of the KQ series

What the heck is AQ? I can't remember! (This is driving me insane)

i was thinking it was adventure quest, but after a bit of a search, they werent called that at all! (sorry hashy)

the game im thinking of was a quest, but it had a role playing side to it (i think u could chose to be a sword guy, a magic guy, etc)

it was set in the desert ( remember being stuck trying to get past some mini sand twisters)

edit: it turns out it was quest for glory (i didnt remmeber that)

did find jones in the fast lane though, popssibly the best pc board game ever!!!

Hey man I have the Original CD's for all these games yous are talking bout, Day of the Tenticle, Sam and Max -hit the road, Kings Quest -6-7(I think)

How bout Conspiracy... anybody play that game? It was F$%Kin hard! I couldn't clock that game!

Never actually got to play the Quest for Glory games...Too busy playing Monkey Island & co :D

For those wanting more KQ & Quest for Glory goodness check out Tierra Entertainment - they're currently involved in doing remakes of the KQ & QfG games (Graphical updates etc)...

The Alone in the Dark series were pretty good :)

Ohher dejahvu!

the first one nearly stopped me hating french people!!

This is a cool thread, but no more posting links to abandonware sites thanks, its still technically warez. Contrary to popular belief, no matter how old a game is, its still not legal to download it for free.

Also, Quest For Glory games did indeed rock.

Sam and Max. OMG that was really the best adventure game of that era for me.

Yeh I had the original AID and when I first played it I always got stuck at the top of the stairs, couldn't work out how to get past those flying things. THen I got the net and got the walkthrough and finished it. I accidentilly sold the disc at a garage sale a while ago. I just grabbed a bunch of dusty cds and sold em as a bundle, should've checked first. But I, ah, got the 2nd and 3rd ones a month or so ago from somewhere.... ;)

From someone who cant access atm: If you're going to play any old lucas arts adventure games, your best bet is ScummVM, which is basically a port of the engine they use to windows. It also has features like a 2xSai filter, which enhances the graphics somewhat. http://scummvm.sourceforge.net

I wonder if this will work for privateer.
/me runs off to try
