Outrageous suggestion! Yep, it's out, played for 2 minutes and parted with 800 of Microsoft's finest points!

"I remember playing day of the tentacle on a 286 PC "

Really i remember it stuttering like a bugger on my 386 25sx (with maths co-processor) 40 meg hd. Actually scrub that it was Sam and Max i struggled to get working.

Is this out yet on PC? gonna get it when i get home

Bought it earlier today

532MB download & 800MSP. Looks fantastic considering the age. The artwork still hold's up today. Speech does add atmosphere to this (I still have my Amiga original floppy version & PC CD-Rom with full regae soundtrack)

Not a massive game but still around 4-5 hours if you have played it before and probably 8-10 hours if you have never played it. Some of the puzzles are still pretty tricky.

Hope Lucasarts now do so more of their adventure classics like MI2 & Indy FOA or DOTT would be perfect. Lucasarts developed this not TellTale games and they also used the Lucasfilm Animation teams in Singapore.

I really want a story adventure game (bit like professor layton) and I've got 800msp spare, never played any lucas art point/click style games before so is it worth getting?

downloading the trial as we speak.

I'm stuck already! I'm sure I found it easier to play when I was 16.

What are the Achievements like? I'm at work and can't view that page

I love how you can press the 'back' button and it convert to the classic look on-the-fly, I think it's well good and really smart

Most achievements are tied-in with the story.

Ahh thanks.

[Streeteh]

It's beautifully done, i'm very glad i've bought it.

 

[Metalface Mark]

Me too, looks a bargain for 800 points.

Back in the days you couldn't just go online and get a walkthrough.

It was so hard when I remember playing it. I got totally stuck on the ship where your comrads are chilling on the deckchairs.

It's on Steam.

I brought both because I'm a sad Monkey Islandoholic.
