Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle was the sequel to Maniac Mansion, and the eighth game to use the SCUMM scripting language. The game first follows the nerd from the first game, Bernard Bernoulli, and his roommates Hoagie and Laverne as they rescue green tentacle from Dr. Fred's basement. Later, the game follows the trio as they go back in time to stop the evil purple tentacle from changing the past for his own benefit.
Versions
Day of the Tentacle was released in several different versions.
- The SCUMM V6 versions (floppy and CD "talkie" versions)
- The Remastered version (based on the VGA DOS CD version with high-resolution assets laid over the original V6 script data).
The high-resolution data ("modern" mode) in the Remastered version is not supported by ScummVM. It is possible to extract the files of the V6 VGA DOS CD version ("classic" mode) and make them playable via ScummVM. The process is performed using DoubleFine Explorer. Do note that by using this method, only the classic mode of Day of the Tentacle is playable in ScummVM.
Miscellaneous
A list of boot params is available for this game.
