Day of the Tentacle is the sequel to Maniac Mansion, but although based on the same basic premise, is a completely different game.
With insane artists that were seemingly taken directly from Warner Bros.' classic Road Runner, combined with the talent of the likes of Ron Gilbert, Day of the Tentacle is more than just a game: it is an insane, surreal adventure with a long and complex story.
Basically what happens is this: Purple Tentacle, one of crazy Dr. Fred's creations, drinks contaminated water from Dr. Fred's Sludge'o'matic, mutates into an insane genius and grows arms, and now he's plotting to take over the world. In an effort to stop him, Dr. Fred sends the three insane friends, Bernard, Hoagie and Laverne back in time to yesterday, in order for them to turn off the Sludge'o'matic and stop the sludge from spilling into the river. Naturally, the cheap doctor uses a fake diamond over a real one in his time machine, which blows up sending Hoagie 200 years into the past and Laverne 200 years into the future.
This is where the story begins: with the help of a few items you can pass through time with the use of the Chron-o-John you must bring back Hoagie and Laverne and stop evil Purple from taking over the world.

 The Top 100 Videogame Villains (100 games items)"#82 - Purple Tentacle
Purple Tentacle has some of the grandest schemes for world domination ever seen in a videogame, which is unusual when you consider the era of his troublemaking. He didn't start his life with these domineering tendencies, but a drink from a radiated river sent Purple over the edge into insanity. From that point on, all he cared about was taking over the world and making a planet exclusively for tentacles. To prevent this, Purple's former friend Green Tentacle warns Purple's"

 Top 20 Adventure Games (20 games items)"Words fail me; the words have not been invented for Day of the Tentacle. I've exhausted my meager vocabulary. All I can say is that from the moment I was enchanted by it nine years ago, the joy has never been lost. Replaying this game last month gave me the same magical feeling I had the first time, and reminded me why I love adventure games so much.
