Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle (DoTT) is a graphical adventure game, originally released in 1993, and published by LucasArts. It is the eighth game to use the SCUMM engine. The game was released simultaneously on floppy disk and CD-ROM, with the CD-ROM version featuring a full voiceover soundtrack. Day of the Tentacle was designed by Dave Grossman and Tim Schafer. Day of the Tentacle begins five years after the events in Maniac Mansion. Of the seven playable characters in the first game, only Bernard Bernoulli, a stereotypical nerd character, makes a return appearance. This time, Bernard has a starring role, as he leads his two new friends, Hoagie and Laverne, back to the Mansion. One of Dr. Fred Edison's two creations, the Purple Tentacle, drinks radioactive waste from the Mansion, growing two stubby appendages for arms and an appetite for global domination. Bernard and friends plan to travel back in time, using Dr. Fred's Port-a-Potty-turned-time machines (dubbed "Chron-o-John"s), to stop Purple from drinking the toxic waste in the first place.
