    I've been gaming for more than 30 years now. (Commodore 64 anyone?) I've played 1000s of games, across a multiverse of genres. Day of the Tentacle still stands in my memory as one of the 10 greatest games I've ever played.

    An absolute favorite of mine. It's so nice to hear that the creators remember it quite fondly themselves - and so inspiring how they found creative and truly ingenious ways to work around the limitations of technology to make something that (at least to me) is still pure joy to play, look at and listen to.

    I'm very excited for this - your Monkey Island documentary was incredible! And I think the story of Day of the Tentacle is so tightly written - the time travel weaves so well - literally another dimension within which to create puzzles. It's such a unique game that merits a documentary dedicated to its history.

    • @onaretrotip
      @onaretrotip  Год назад +3

      Thank you so much! Agreed - the story and puzzle design are just perfectly executed in Day of the Tentacle. As much as I love Monkey Island, DOTT probably has the best overall design of any point and click, in my opinion.
      One of my all-time favourite games.

    As a kid I grew up with a love for computers and adventure games. It started with text adventures because you couldn't do graphics yet. But then Sierra came out with their Kings Quest series and I was hooked. I played almost all of them. From Larry to Hero's Quest to Space Quest (the latter being my fav Sierra series) and many many others. And then Lucasfilm made their name. Zak Mc' Kracken, Maniac Mansion, Indy, leading up to my most favorite adventures of all times. The Monkey Island (no 1 fav) series Sam and Max and Day of the Tentacle (no 2 fav). I was amazed by the animations, the music, the quirkyness, puzzles and storylines. It inspired me to learn how to program and make little adventure puzzle games for myself. And to eventually take schooling for it. It's many years later now and I'm not in the business anymore. But I always kept a love for those classics that really shaped me in my childhood. I still got my C64 and my Amiga to this day and a huge collection of adventure games in both my Steam and ScummVM libraries. The genre died out for a while but seems to be making a bit of a revival. Thank you all for the great memories, humor, puzzles and above al humor.

    I have played a lot of adventure games in my life but this really is one of the kind. Cartoon graphips, characters and the time travel aspect in the game. Like you can control 3 different persons in 3 different time. 200 years ago, present and in the future + you can interactive with them. I think this interactive aspect just makes so great and that way very special.
    Just this Looney tunes style is just so cool. It was kind of sad that they did not make a third Maniac Manson game because this was just so super well done.
    In my list of best adventure games are: The day of the tentacle, Sam and Max, Indian Jones and fate of Atlantis, Monkey island 1 +2 + Leisure suit larry games. These games are funny and amazing puzzles to solve. Really cool 80's and 90's stuff. You really don't see this anymore in games. There are just more action in many games but less contects so no cool story to tell.
    Thanks you so much from this video and all the best to you.

    The biggest difference I remember between these and the Sierra games like Kings Quest V and Space Quest 4 was that you couldn't get game over screens in the LucasArts ones. I keep walking King Graham off a cliff but I couldn't make Bernard do the same.

    The first game i can remember beating. Still to this day i have it fully memorized and could play it in my sleep.

    Woah! When the intro music hit at 1:39 it was like I was overwhelmed with a forgotten sense of nostalgia. I had COMPLETELY forgotten that soundtrack and all of a sudden it all came back to me at once :D :D. Incredible work!
    57:27 : LOL, nice jab at Sierra there :D. I mean, I enjoyed Sierra games too but Lucasart had the better and more enjoyable games with less arbitrary BS in them ;).
    1:17:39 : iMuse! Man, I completely forgot about that. Lucasart had some incredibly immersive musical scores that would evolve with the action of the game. Just walking through a scene and into the next room would often produce these wonderful musical progressions that would just come naturally. I was always inspired by that when I worked on my own projects using the Microsoft DirectMusic tech, that would operate in a similar fashion. Love this Lucasart tech so much! Added SO much to their games!
    1:22:52: That is so crazy! So you had the musicians working on Macs. And you had your animators and sprite artists working on DPaint on the Amiga :D. This was truly before the Wintel PC ecosystem had completely taken over and laid waste to every other computer market out there (minus Apple, who barely survived before its resurgence in the early 2000:s). Those were great days for sure.
    Great work! Fantastic video! :)

    From the crass jokes, the oddball tone, the bewildering puzzles, i loved everything about it. And i played all of the lucas arts games. The only other game that held that place in my heart was indiana jones and the fate of atlantis.

    Absolutely fantastic video on how Day of the Tentacle was made! Thorough, covering all the fascinating topics. Would've loved more photos and screenshots from the dev days, but getting a first-hand look at SCUMM is just awesome. Stellar job, informative and engaging. In my book, this is the greatest adventure game of all time! Also, a big shout out for the hard work that's gone into this - it doesn't go unnoticed. The cherry on top? Some extra interviews with Dave and Tim, their insights would be the icing on the cake. Keep delivering such awesomeness!
