You don't need to have played or know anything about Maniac Mansion to enjoy Day of the Tentacle. I would not even recommend to play MM first, because MM is stupendously hard and frustrating compared to DotT. Play it after.

BTW: In the version of DotT I played in the 90s there was a funny easter egg: A computer in the game was running a playable version of Maniac Mansion. I don't know if this is part of the remastered version though.

Remastered has it too. Steam version even has achievements for doing things that require you to get a small way through the original.

Agree on not needing to play Maniac Mansion first, too. I came to the original having no idea that MM even existed. The characters and story are great even if you don't know the references.

It is! At least on the version I played from Steam :)
