This beloved adventure is the sequel to LucasArts' Maniac Mansion, and is
widely considered one of the best adventures ever made. It's an insane, surreal
adventure with a long and complex story and beautiful and gunny comic graphics. The
Purple Tentacle, one of crazy Dr. Fred's creations, drinks contaminated water from
Dr. Fred's Sludge'o'matic, mutates into an insane genius and grows arms, and now
he's plotting to take over the world. In an effort to stop him, Dr. Fred sends the
three insane friends, Bernard, Hoggie and Lavern back in time to yesterday, in order
for them to turn off the Sludge'o'matic and stop the sludge from spilling into the
river. Naturally, the cheap doctor uses a fake diamond over a real one in his time
machine, which blows up sending Hoggie 200 years into the past and Lavern 200 years
into the future. With the help of a few items you can pass through time with the
use of the Chronojohn. Bernard, with the assistance of budding rock star Green
Tentacle, has to find a non-imitation diamond in order to make the time machine
functional once more, and Hoagie and Laverne both have to get back to their time
machines and connect them to a power source, in order to team up again and finally
defeat Purple Tentacle. The game uses the three time streams effectively, with
several puzzles depending on actions in one era affecting the other eras. The
player can switch between any one of the three playable characters at any time. The
three protagonists can also share inventory items amongst themselves (at least, those
items that can be stowed in a toilet), a feature that plays into many of the game's
puzzles. It includes the entire original Maniac Mansion as a game-within-a-game
which can be played simply by using Weird Ed's computer. The CD version of the game contains voice-overs for all the dialogues and no copy protection.
