Title: DOTT parodies
Post by: Cyrus on Tue 26/06/2007 05:24:54
Does anyone know any parodies on the DOTT? The only things I know are Night of the Hermit and Day of the Testicle.

I liked the game!! Finally a game whose puzzles isn't too obsure or insipid. The graphics were well done too. Loved the Hall of Fame.. esp the 'three headed monster' reference from DotT..ah..memories

I never really understood this comment, since I never played Day of the Tentacle, but there you have it.  Just don't expect any three headed monsters.  Or well-done graphics, for that matter.  Actually the whole user review is a bit suspect....

Well, nice game, but I'm much more interested in games with DOTT-typed graphic style.

I guess I completely missed the point on the whole parody thing.  What's the point of them again?

Maybe I'm still just traumatized from "Date Movie."

If you like DOTT-style game, I can suggested you a list of Lucasart release called 'Monkey Island'. It's well made, and some even said 'addictive'. It's about pirates. They're a lot of games like them in the GIP thread.

The game "No-Action Jackson" is not a DotT parody, but it has DotT style graphics. Perhaps you have heard of it?

Yes, I've even played it up to the end. Wonderful game, the main hero looks very much like Bernard.

Well, since I read this article I made a dott parodie on my game Lone Case. Thanks for the inspiration Cyrus. The scene I made parody of is where Tentacle say i feel like I could "Take on The world"
