Day of the Tentacle

Originally, there was not going to be voice acting and there would be six playable characters at the start. Apart from Bernard, Hoagie and Laverne, there would also be Razor (the female musician from Maniac Mansion (1987)), Moonglow (a short character in baggy clothes) and Chester (a beat poet). Because of design issues and memory limitations, Moonglow and Razor were omitted early on, while Chester became the basis for the twins Jed and Ned Edison. When Myst (1993) came out, it popularized voice acting in games, and when the game's original deadline could not be met, the creative team decided to make use of the extra development time to make Day of the Tentacle their first "talkie game". The disk version only had voice acting in the introduction, while the CD-ROM version had talking throughout the game.

Hoagie finds dry spaghetti in the Colonial-era mansion kitchen. Italian cuisine did not make it to the United States until the 19th century. Therefore, it's highly unlikely someone would have pasta in their kitchen around this time.

The LucasArts logo at the end of the game has a golden tentacle appear and scare off the Gold Guy and take his place.
