    You can now get it cheap at LucasArts.com, and in it's uncut version too I think. For those who don't know what it is, it's about this wacky mad scienctist named Dr. Fred who kidnaps this cheerleader named Sandy, who happens to be your girlfriend. So you and your friends (two others who you can choose) must enter the mansion and resue her. It is a great all out game even the cut version from Nintendo. What's cool was at one point of the century, no one could find copies of it, it was one hard game to find. I have a copy of the Nintendo version (It belong to my father and he passed it on to me) and I'm hoping to get the uncut version soon. If you find a copy like used, or online, or from an emulator, get it. It's worth it. Also there are supposed to be two sequels, Day of the Tenticle (Which I've played and beat) and another, but I don't know if it really exists. You can find more infomation about it at http://members.fortunecity.com/harang/ (Opening picture in the middle, about kissing a tenticle, is mine believe it or not, I made it years ago.) Anyway, sorry for rambling on like that.

    I have the Nintendo version. I should hook it up one of these days and play it again. I always liked it. Never played the sequel though.

    Isn't that the game where you find the gas can for the chainsaw in the kitchen? Or was that Monkey Island?
