'''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.

This means that you could in theory use any game as the easter egg. Indeed, there is a "secret" configuration setting, <code>easter_egg</code>, to override the ID of the game to run. Be aware, though, that not all games support returning to the launcher, and setting it up to use Day of the Tentacle itself as the easter egg game is not recommended.
