Added idol may indicate new Day of the Tentacle release(s) (News)

16 Jul 2009

Destructoid writes: Get ready to be really excited Day of the Tentacle fans.

Take a close look at the Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition snapshot in the header image. The Tentacle idol featured in the center shouldn't exist. It wasn't included in the original PC release of the title (something anyone can easily check by fiddling with the visual toggle).

What does this mean? There's a couple of likely avenues to explore: LucasArts is hinting at a new release of either Maniac Mansion or Day of the Tentacle or TellTale Games (creators of the episodic Sam & Max series) is indeed working on an episodic series revolving around Day of the Tentacle."

UGO writes,

"Guybrush's adventures are of the point-and-click variety. I know that may scare off ye newcomers, so Telltale's been kind enough to fork over a special UGO branded demo. Go on, give it a download - walk the proverbial plank. It's the best 188MB you'll use all week, I promise.

What, you still need encouragement? Take a look at Justin Haywald's glowing Grade A review over at 1UP."
