Fun Stuff

Trivia:
As in many LucasArt games, this game features several references to Star Wars (1977). Most obvious are the calendar with the Darth Vader picture in Dr. Fred's office (if you look at it, Bernard remarks that "it's a calendar from my favorite movie"); Bernard's exclamation while reading the dates off the quarters he is picking up ("Ooh! 1977!" The year of Star Wars' release); the Stormtrooper helmet in the room where Bernard finds Green Tentacle; and several lines of dialogue (e.g. "Help us, Dr Edison. You're our only hope!"). more
Quotes:
Bernard: [Unties the tentacles] There, you're free to go.
Green Tentacle: Thanks, Bernard!
Purple Tentacle: Yes. Thank you, naive human. Now, I can finish taking over the world!
[Purple Tentacle leaves]
Green Tentacle: Wait!
Bernard: Oh yeah. Now I remember. He's incredibly evil, isn't he?
Green Tentacle: Uhhh... I'll try to talk him out of it.

Author: Shaggy from Amsterdam

This a absolute milestone in history of games. When i first played the game, it was 6 years ago i was suprised of the graphics and conversations in the game. It's really like a great movie=, it only takes a little longer and you'll have more fun ...

All i can say is, play it ...
