Gaming PSA: remastered version of Day of the Tentacle coming later this month

[usernamenumber]

It's only going to be $15 normally, but pre-order is 10% off.

Now maybe I can finally get past the part where a scratched CD always caused it to glitch out and die when I had it back in the day. :(

I'm sad they didn't take the opportunity to make it available for more platforms. Wonder if the new version will work with ScummVM.

Yeah, I was really hoping for an iOS version, but according to the website it's just Windows, OSX, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. :(

(side note: people are still developing for the Vita?)

I think the playstation dev tools make it trivial to drop something like this onto Vita. But yeah, point and click seems like a natural fit on mobile platforms.

I guess on the playstation you have to use the analog stick to move a cursor all around the screen? Awkward...

I make sadface at you for getting my hopes up by saying OSX here where I can't find anywhere else backing that up.

(I mean, I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to get an emulator running, so it's not actually the end of the world if I have to buy it for PC, but it'd be so much easier otherwise!)

(alsoalso EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!)

Fear not! That list of targets is copy/pasted straight from their website! It looks like GoG is only doing pre-orders for the Windows version, but that there will be an OSX version too, though I'm not sure how it will be distributed, unless Double Fine's site is just straight-up wrong for some reason.
