- "Read my suction cup . . . no more taxes!"
-
- Are you forking hard earned cash over to Uncle Sam? Elect Purple Tentacle
- ruler of the world, and never pay taxes again. After all, when tentacles come
- into power and humans are kept as pets, you'll never have to file another
- 1040 form (of course, you'll also be forced to sleep in a cage and do stupid pet
- tricks at human shows).
-
- Is this the warped ranting of a crazed, power-hungry politico? NO! It's the
- warped ranting of LucasArts Entertainment Company announcing its newest
- game, Day of the Tentacle¬. This sequel to Maniac Mansion¿ is a wacky,
- interactive cartoon comedy in which you must stop tentacles from taking
- over the world. Controlling three off-the-wall kids (who wind up in three
- different time periods), you scramble to turn back time and prevent tentacle
- takeover.
-
- The IBM CD-ROM "Enhanced Edition" featuring the voices of professional
- actors throughout the game and the IBM disk-based version with a "talkie"
- introduction will be available this summer.
