A cartoon-style ending screen in the flat, saturated art style of Day of the Tentacle. A tall red-and-white striped windsock shaped like a tentacle, with dark oval spots, billows from a pole against a purple starry sky at sunset, the glowing sun setting behind rolling silhouetted hills. The words 'THE END' appear in bold yellow letters across the center.

Day of the Tentacle: Remastered

Another Video Game Club pick I'd never have played otherwise, and I only finished it because it was so short

A red and white checkered flag with blue circles waves on a flagpole against a purple sky filled with stars. Below the flag, the words 'THE END' are prominently displayed in yellow text. The background features a stylized sunset with mountains and hills in silhouette.

Another one from the #VideoGameClub on Mastodon that I don’t think I would have played if it were never selected for #VGCMarch2024. I’m sensing a bit of a theme here 🤣. This game never really tripped my interest, even while playing it and the only reason I think I really finished it at all was because it was so short. Had it been any longer, it probably would have ended up on my abandoned pile. I just never got into the craze of the point and click games of this style back in the day with maybe an exception for Shadowgate.

If you liked Maniac Mansion, or any of the other Lucas Arts games from this era, then I’m sure you’ll enjoy this.
