Editor note

Of note, this game uses modified versions of the original datafiles from the DOS version. The Scumm engine has been updated to read XML, FSB, MP3, and DXT files (which are how the modified datafiles are stored). This new version of the the Scumm engine runs natively on current Linux operating systems, Windows 7+, and OSX 10.7-10.11. Double Fine provides a bit of software called Doublefine Explorer that lets users, among other things, copy out the original datafiles minus the extensions. Thus recreating the DOS version from the modern files (to use with ScummVM, DOSBox, or DOS). All Moai engine or Buddha engine games by Double Fine are compatible with Doublefine Explorer. Of course, the extracted files do not have any of the updated sound, music, graphics, and features of the remastered version.

While not properly titled as such, several official descriptions and documentation (including the Steam page) use the title "Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle" and "Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle"
