LucasArts is one of those studios that I really appreciate. Twenty some years ago, they released a string of excellent adventure games that went WAY outside of the bread and butter of Star Wars. Day of the Tentacle was one such game. Set up as the sequel to Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle carries over many (though not all) of its characters, and takes place five years later. I really enjoyed this game when I was in High School, and was thrilled to be able to play it again over the last few weeks, via GeForce Now.

Released by Iversoft Solutions Inc, Alien Adventurer is a casual clicking game about exploration. In this game, players are looking to scout and colonize an unfamiliar world, and will be “tapping” the local aliens to help out (see what I did there?). There isn’t much in terms of actual game play, beyond tapping on the aliens for them to gather resources, players can then use what is harvested to hire more of the same, or new and different aliens.
