Day of the Tentacle

As you may have guessed, I am sort of a dork. That is why, because of my "dorkness", I am blogging from my iphone.

My computer is and will remain unavailable for the next week or so. You see, I recently found my old copy of the computer game Day of the Tentacle ("DOTT"). This was the first computer game I can remember being completely addicted to. Though it has a CD (so high tech when it came out during the age of the floppy) it isn't compatible with my new computer and must be run through the horrifying DOS box!....blah blah computer talk...blah blah!!

Anyway, after two hours trying to get it to run, it finally works, only now it won't save the game....so, I figure I will play it though until a. I beat it (I beat it once about 14 or so years ago) or b. My ADD wins out and I move onto something new.

So until one of those things happen I will be blogging from my iPhone.

What a great game! Have you tried hitting F1 for saving?
Here's yet another emulator to run the game. Compatibility is very high. Works with many games.
