It's more historically important than fun. Play Day of the Tentacle instead.
>>6091102
Best adventure game ever. As few weak puzzles near the end but otherwise almost perfect. Funnier than the Monkey Island series, top-tier puzzle design, great art, great music, and great voice acting. Just play the intro sequence up until you gain control of Hoagie (about 10 minutes) and you'll see. That quality of writing continues throughout the whole game. It's a direct sequel, but loosely connected enough that you don't need to play Maniac Mansion first, although there are some funny references for those who did.

Yeah, it's definitely worth playing. There's one puzzle you might get stuck on if you're not familiar with old Pepe le Pew cartoons.
And I wish someone would have told me when I was a kid that at one point you need to close a door and look behind it to get a set of keys. I was stuck on that for a while and only figured it out after clicking on everything endlessly.

Who are "the censors?" It was the Lucasfilm Games executives that told the game developers to change it.

DotT is a great game, but I just like the style and feel of the Monkey Island series more. I might try Maniac Mansion some day. Been meaning to play the Indiana Jones series first.

I literally died in this game today at the very end. I made it into the meteor room and didn't put the anti-radiation suit on and it killed me. Luckily I saved the game right before entering the "secret lab" and I finally beat this game for the first time. Feels good man.

I remember watching it for the first time as a kid all stoked for dr. fred to be all crazy, and the way they sang the name in the theme I was like "what the fuck is this fucking bob newhart shit?" and was gradually more and more disappointed as the episode went on.

I never heard of this show before but IMDb seems to be telling me that the daughter was played by Kathleen Robertson, who I would later know as the new hot girl on 90210. Is that right? If so, then I totally masturbated to Weird Ed's alternate-universe sister or whatever!

I mean, I probably did. I don't specifically remember doing it, but I probably did.
