This game is really, really good, but it's crazy that it even exists. It's the sequel to a relatively plot-light game from 6 years earlier, but it retcons a big chunk of it as well, and the main thing that is left intact is the existence of two talking tentacle creatures. All this from a company that was originally conceived for the sole purpose of making videogame movie tie-ins.

Maniac Mansion was in 1987, Day of the Tentacle was in 1993, and it's amazing how much changed between the two. Day of the Tentacle is worlds prettier and smoother and bigger than its predecessor, which is way more change than you'd see in 6 years these days. Ron Gilbert also made The Cave, which is designed around the same principle of having a bunch of different characters who can solve the puzzles in different ways. Not sure how good it was.

It's weird to look up the voice actors and see what the rest of their careers were like. Hoagie's VA did a million other video game roles. Laverne's VA has barely done anything. Bernard's VA has had a fairly successful career, including an on-camera role on WKRP as Les Nessman. Nice LP, look forward to whatever comes next.
