there was a large thread on the gamespot forums about why lucasarts doesn't want to release its older games for free (like Bethesda did with arena)
there eventually was no answer.

They do not answer because they do not care anymore, Lucas Arts do not sell the games on their website anymore, only places like Amazon now sell it, that is why i was told by an admin at some warez site why they were allowed to host it on their website.

This game is a classic and is, if any of the new gamers are ignorant of it, a sequel to Maniac Mansion. I never really got far into the original, but this rocks. I first played it in 1993 when it was pretty much brand new and my dad had gotten a copy from some friend of his. So we played it though the protection system was always annoying, but that little annoyance was well worth it because DOTT is simply one of the best and funniest games there are.

Initially all the playing was of course the floppy version with only midi, but I always loved it and when I was out of town when I was about 12(1996) I had an opportunity to buy the CD-rom talkie version in the white label box and needless to say I bought it without hesitation and the voices added a whole new dimension to the game. Bernard Bernouli really sounds dorky, Hoagies the endearing comments to the Edison brothers "I'm no marble deliveryman, but rock is my life" and the emphasis on the semi-psychopathic features of Laverne had me in heaven. I still have that game, the cd is still in near excellent condition after 12 years and I enjoy it with ScummVM along with the old Sam & Max: Hit the Road which I bought a year or so later.

I say to you people that if you can get a copy then buy it. It is still such a good game after 15 years. Way to go Lucasarts

This smiley sums up this game: :thumbs:

That's exactly what you feel like when you play it. I'm almost thirty and I still catch myself using quotes from this game. Love it!

Wow, such a great game, I loved it way back when I was a kid.
The characters are amazingly manic and amiable, always making me smile, while the story is really funny. I always liked to operate in different times and change the future by acting in the past.
The only drawback is, that a few puzzles are kind of random or even illogical, like the important part how to free Laverne. But I never cared.

After seeing it here, I replayed it (had the disk version in a dusty box).
Took me like 15 minutes, because I remembered nearly every puzzle.

I hope they'll finish the fan project DotT 2 soon, looks great!

Ah that game, im gonna give it ago, i played that one, Something Mansion i forgot the time, but both games look good

Although I love nonsense stuff, I did not really like the graphics of the game because the proportions of people and objects were pure nonsense...

I was very fond of Ben Franklin and his future descendant (present), as they needed a mask not to spread the spatter rain...

As I had stated for the Chair-man Cyber-Bonk Bonk! Bonk! Bonk! In the 2-D world there are 02 ways to flatten a head.

Congratulations! Finally, you have overtaken me and will surpass me ever since I stopped using my Poke-powers. Bonk! Bonk!

Uh-Oh! Is it my impression or did you also want to be Poke-man Bonk! Bonk! via PM?

Not worth being Poke-man Bonk! Bonk!. For one thing, you poke around and giggle a lot. On the other hand, you only get only 02 noises Bonk! Bonk!

Already being Chair-man, Bonk! Bonk! Bonk! you get at least 03 noises Bonk! Bonk! Bonk! And if you are well inspired, you are well able to get more noises Bonk! Bonk! Bonk!

However, I want you to be aware that if I want to, I can still use my 02 hidden powers (02 trump cards up my sleeve) still at any time. Do not worry, I will not do it so soon...

Maybe I should use the powers from Dark Side of the Force and the Tie Fighter to let Cyber-Bonk eat dust again! Cough! Cough!

Now seriously, if you can keep up this pace without too much self-charging, anxiety and stress, good for you. But do not let it get you like me in the past.

Self-charging

Now, an off topic comment. There is someone very worried and interested with threads from a certain Forum. Oddly enough, even though he is moving fast on PoE earn, he would get restless and spying on certain members (Mod, Staff, etc.) and conjecture theories... It seems that this one was very restless and worried that the other one might win much more PoE and thus unreachable in the ranking... Who is this someone? Who is this other?

I think we should hire the legendary Miss Lulu_Jane Marple and the egg-head Air-cule Parrot to solve such a great mystery!

OFF-TOPIC

Now, I have a cruel doubt: How will you flatten my head in the form of a pancake? As far as I know there are 02 ways:

• Flatten my head horizontally; _

• Flatten my head vertically. |

I have the photo of my 03 cats (I own 08 cats, 07 females and 01 male) when they were still puppies. If you realize, she ended up flattening the heads of her sisters, one vertically and the other horizontally! Bonk! Bonk! Bonk! I believe she was drumming on the sisters’ heads inside Mommy’s belly like Lord DarthHelmet.

Bonk! Bonk! Bonk!

Bonk! Bonk! Bonk!

Shhh. Now, here between us, please keep your unique, legendary, invincible, incomparable and unequaled Chair of Power away from my head! Bonk! Bonk! Bonk! Hellp! Hellp!

02 ways to flatten a head!

Just as in my small tribute to the wisest and noblest Computron, there are also 2 ways of combining to merge into a powerful and imposing Combiner / Gestalt!

• Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother (Mi)Lady of the Rings uses her precious (Gollum! Gollum!) information and the Ring of Knowledge to search for answers. After all, Knowledge is Power! It reminds me of Mandarin, archenemy of Iron Man, who had 10 power rings, and each ring has a different power and is worn on a specific finger.

Curiously, when those Living Computers come together, they have the incredible ability to combine, merging into the most powerful super computer in the world called Computron.

There are 02 ways of merging to form Combiner / Gestalt:

01) The Grand Mentat marko River (........) + Grandmaster Spectre-man + Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother (Mi)Lady of the Rings =

02) The most sublime Gestalt...

Tribute to Computron

Curiously, in this game there is a strange reference or coincidence or similarity with my concept of Cmbiner / Gestalt. See the screenshots and draw your conclusions...

Amazing Combiner / Gestalt!

My great cruel doubt is whether this sublime Gestalt is Computron mentioned earlier or whether it is the most powerful and courageous Gestalt constituted by the combination of 03 Twinsens...

• Yippee! Now, trying to find the whereabouts of the missing Grand Emperor Japodeis is really a Quest fot Glory in the King’s Quest. Maybe he is with Wally / Waldo... BTW, Where is Wally / Waldo?

• As for Space Quest, during the galactic voyages, most likely I will discover the whereabouts of the WebSpace God of Hollande, which is Lost in WebSpace (the secret code / password to unlock and release his amazing Cosmic Powers is GTX2GvO! Bzzz! Beep! Achievement Unlocked! ), and the Space Adventurer known as WebSpace Ghost (his secret identity is Spectreman!).

• Now on solid ground, in Monkey Island, I will finally find the legendary and ultimate Combiner / Gestalt merged by the combination of 3 Twinsens known for the pun on their names... Shhh! Their secret names are Capo, Japo and Paco ! It is really the Power of the Names!

Computron or Twinsens?

I sincerely hope that the legendary Miss Lulu_Jane Marple and the always “humble” Air-cule Parrot can decipher a riddle so mysterious and secret... May the Force be with them! Whoops. I mean, may the Brainiac be with them!

Day of the Tentacle is even funnier than LucasArt’s past adventures. If you like a bit of comedy, or if you’ve play Maniac Mansion, then it’s worth buying this game
