10 Games Within Video Games You Must Play

2. Maniac Mansion - Day Of The Tentacle

Being one of the best adventure games of its time, Maniac Mansion was acclaimed for its writing, humour and pretty much everything that made games great at the time. So, a sequel was bound to happen. Strange as it is, there was a time when developers cared about their games. Yes, about the same time as the dinosaurs, but this is an great example of it.

Hidden on a compute in Day of the Tentacle is the entire Maniac Mansion, start to finish, free to play for anyone who wanted to relive the original or anyone new to the franchise. More of the great adventure game style and simply there to bring more players into the fold. A completely unnecessary detail, but one done out of the fact that the developers wanted players to play and understand their products.

You really must play both these games. A remastered version is available with improved graphics and they are genuine classics of gaming. And you can play both of them for the same price!
