Do Day of the Tentacle!

Definitely a classic. Maybe I'll revisit it with the remastered edition!

they are doing a remastered edition????

It seems Lucasarts' new owners at Disney are more interested in licensing out their old adventure games than Lucasarts ever was. Since "Grim Fandango Remastered" did fairly well, they're also remastering Day Of The Tentacle:

...and even Full Throttle:

The Grim Fandango remaster was great, as I never played more than the demo when it originally came out, but boy is it dated.

It's nice though, I think it's a great way of introducing a younger who might only be familiar with heavily narrative driven games from Telltale to an incredible generation of point and clicks.

For example, I'd known nothing about Full Throttle prior to this announcement, :P

Yeah: http://dott.doublefine.com/ (They're planning on doing Full Throttle later.)

It sticks very closely to the original art, though - at times looking like they've traced directly over the sprites.

(e: beaten to the punch!)
