This FAQ may be posted to Websites and used in Magazines. BUT PLEASE CREDIT ME!!
If this FAQ has parts missing or is slightly incorrect, please inform me. :)

I Wrote this FAQ because when I looked for one on GameFAQs, all I found was a guide to
the items and (no offense to the original writer) it wasn't too helpful. :( So here is
a guide I prepared myself. This is my first walkthrough, so please don't poke fun out
of me if I get it wrong. :) I hope someone finds this useful.

I've attempted to write the guide in an order which will make sense. In a game such as
Day of the Tentacle, there is no real set path and things can be done in many different
orders. Hopefully this is one of the easier ways. :)
