Udvarnoky ENJOYED the story, didn't he? Surely that's some kind of testament to DOTT's power to grab the player in some way.
Yeah, yeah, I enjoyed the story too, so what? It's over-simple, full of cliches, yet funny and clever, and it's anything but deep. I think that recent games on the whole have better stories, unless you're considering atmosphere and dialogs as part of the story.
Plus I was referring to Maniac Mansion, not DOTT.

EDIT: And whenever did I deny DOTT the power to grab anyone? It grabbed me, badly.
