I Need Help! Name Of An Old Computer Game.... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ClassicTVGal · 03-17-2006, 01:51 AM

I'm in need of some MAJOR help and am FINALLY asking for it... LOL.

When I was little, I remember playing this one computer game sometimes when I'd be over at a friend's house. It was like a Past, Present and Future game where you had to solve crimes or mysteries I believe. And there were three characters if I recall and each of them were in a different time era. And the time machine was, believe it or not, a port-a-potty. (one of thosethings you see at a fair or something)

And you'd flush it to send to the other time era. And I remember these odd creature type things. It's hard to explain. (I'd have to draw it, probably) But um... like they were shaped kinda like your thumb (if that's even a good explaination) and one might have been green with purple circles down it's body while the other was vice versa. Purple with green circles down its body. (make any sense? lol) It was a computer game, remember.

Does this sound familiar to *ANYONE*? I'm guessing this was the late, late 80s to the early 90s. I'll probably lean more on the 90s.

I'd just love to see if I could find this game. Just to see it again would be nice.

I was gonna say where in the World is Carmen Sandiago, but the rest of the description has me stumped....

You might be able to find it through wikipedia, they have a big list of games.

Well I got someone who got the title of the game from another board. Thanks so much for the site: BadBoy, that helped too. (And I did look at the title first and wondered...)

But anyway, the name is called: Day of the Tentacle which is a branch from Maniac Mansion.
