Description: Day of the Tentacle by Bob Mackey, Larry Ahern, Tim Schafer Six years after helping the Edison family defeat the designs of a malevolent meteor in Maniac Mansion, college student and classic nerd Bernard Bernoulli once again finds himself at the front door of the infamous mansion. With two weird friends, Hoagie and Laverne, Bernard must stop the evil Purple Tentacle from conquering the world--by freezing hamsters, pushing old ladies down the stairs, abusing Swiss bank accounts, and ever so slightly changing some of the most significant moments in American history. Dave Grossman and Tim Schafers 1993 time-trotting point-and-click adventure game Day of the Tentacle brought LucasArts game design to a new standard of excellence with smart puzzles, hilarious characters, and an animation style that harkened back to classic Warner Bros. cartoons. And somehow, they fit it all on a fat stack of floppy disks! In this definitive oral history as told by the games designers, musicians, and artists, writer Bob Mackey tells the inside story of Day of the Tentacles lightning-in-a-bottle production, and reveals how two first-time directors boiled down the lessons of past adventure games into a tight and satisfying game, and how the team grappled with evolving technology to achieve the coveted status of "multimedia" at the dawn of the CD-ROM age, and how a remastered edition brought Tentacle to a new generation of fans. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Bob Mackey is a writer, podcaster, and video game historian, and has been the co-host of the classic gaming podcast, Retronauts, since 2011.
