Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle... great artwork. Great style. Very funny lines. The humor is good. Classic Maniac Mansion (yup, the full game) is hidden in the game. But... well, when I first played it I got stuck on a pretty early puzzle that annoyed me a lot. I did play it again since (thanks, SCUMMVM!), and it is a very good game, but I still think that Lucasarts has done better (though it's definitely a classic and while I may think it's not quite as good as Indy (or, probably, Sam & Max), that's not very bad because those three games are easily three of the best adventure games ever...).
Indy was much more serious, so the environments didn't grab your eye quite as much -- more realistic, after all -- but it's also great and I just thought it was more fun to play. It's also got replay value (three routes through the game!) and action parts... and a very well done story, of course. Great game. I think I got stuck (and gave up) in an ice cave or something, though...
