This month we go back to the roots of the classic LucasArts/Lucasfilm Games adventure games with Maniac Mansion and its sequel, Day of the Tentacle! I go through the creation of the game, the challenges and new systems that were designed to get the game going, the NES port, the TV show, and how it's sequel bacame one of the best games of all time. Plus, Michaela drops in to help mix up a purple tentacle cocktail.
