"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 Tentacleª.  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.

CURIOUS??? Take a look at the Day of the Tentacle demo.
