You now have more of a reason to buy this incredible game.Alright, listen up folks, before I review the actual game I\u2019m going to take a minute to make a very clear note.If you are going to buy this game because you grew up with the NES port, don\u2019t. This is the DOS and enhanced PC port that:-looks very different (and might I add, *cough* BETTER *cough*) from the NES version-lacks the music you love so much-is not 100% identical to the NES version (NES version had certain things cut because of Nintendo\u2019s strict content policy back then)If you happen to want to play the NES version, your only hope is to download an emulator and ROM (oh no, piracy of a 30 year-old game!). If you want to play the PC version in a much more modern gamer-friendly state, get Maniac Mansion Deluxe from the Internet. It\u2019s free and has enhanced graphics, lest your 4K HDR eyeballs can\u2019t bear to look at this 16-color masterpiece.NOW WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY... time for the actual review.I love Maniac Mansion. It\u2019s one of my favorite games and despite it practically being a relic dug up from a tomb at this point it still holds up as one of the best adventure games out there. There are multiple characters to choose from, all with their own skills and useful abilities. The game world is very colorful (not literally) and there\u2019s a lot of charm around every corner. There\u2019s a whole lot of stuff going on all the time in this game and that\u2019s what I love about it\u2014and not to mention, it was one of the first truly nonlinear games out there.With a plot and characters based on B-movie horror archetypes, it somehow turns this stuff into gold with the addition of fun dialogue, creative environment, and well-executed humor. And it didn\u2019t completely destroy the \u201chorror\u201d factor, either\u2014accidentally running into any of the Edisons on your quest to save the dumb cheerleader is actually quite terrifying, even without any music.I\u2019m not so sure how much more I can say about the game without totally spoiling the entire experience, but I do want to say that if you ever get stuck on any puzzles, don\u2019t be afraid to google the solutions as this was a game made back when developers perceived gamers as psychic mind genies who opened envelopes with microwaves (hey, I just solved a puzzle for you!) also once again if you want the NES version get an emulator and a ROM and if you want to play a more modern version of the game, then get Deluxe. Complete with MIDI soundtrack!Also if you\u2019ve played Maniac Mansion and liked it, make sure to check out Thimbleweed Park\u2014it\u2019s a very similar game released just last year by the exact same guys who designed MM.Oh, and one more quick note before I sign off...Don\u2019t be a tuna head.. The controls on the Steam port of this game are atrocious. Mouse cursor jumps around the screen way too much.. Now the mouse problem been fixed and the game is playable. Fun to play a classic "point and click" game. Back to old-school with worse than 8-bit, but it is a classic. I feel old when I play this game and enjoy it.This is a orginal of the game before others; (The first version.).Game is about solution to save someone who been taken by a mad doctor in the house. Well; Almost all people are mad in the house and what to do is differnt. It depends of who you pick to save the girl.Overall score 6 of 10.. Can finally try to play. THANK YOU FOR FIXING. My logitch light up mouse lol plays it fine. Now to finally play it again after 200 years.. DO NOT BUY. Do not support terrible publishers out for a cash grab. This is simply a ScummVM release, which would be fine if they used a version that eliminates bugs (the newer version of ScummVM plays this without the mouse jumping cursor issues). This clearly wasn't even tested, nor did they take the extra day to add in Steam cards and emotes, achievements, art, music, wallpaper, etc. Fans waited since Steam or GOG launched for this game to arrive on one of the two platforms and when it finally becomes exclusive to Steam, we get a simple emulator with nothing extra. The actual fix for this game is to update the emulator. At that point, you might as well just download the game for free yourself elsewhere. Junk and the publisher should give the rights to this game up, as they don't deserve it.. DO NOT BUY. Do not support terrible publishers out for a cash grab.

This is a VSCUMM port and it doesn't seem to have the indiviual character soundtracks that I remember. You will need to hit F5 to save, quit, load, or adjust the game options. If you normally run with a high mouse dpi, you're really going to want to turn it down to play this game. Controls feel a little clunky to me, but I grew up playing this with an NES controller and I may not have turned my dpi down enough. I could be misrembering some of the puzzles, but there does seem to be some slight differences in the gameplay than the NES version I grew up withAlso, 100% verified, it is possible to have Syd put the hamster in the microwave and turn it on with this version. (I would never condone doing such a thing in reality). I suppose I am one of the lucky? few? that was able to do this with in my NES version back in the day, enough though the NES version censored quite a few other things.... Anyway, 8 year old me is thrilled to see this game again.. Here we finally have a seperate release of the Maniac Mansion game avalible for Steam for the first time. I've previously did a mini review of this game for Day of the Tentacle as it was playable in its entirety in that game alone. So for this review I will discuss the game in great detail since I'm not talking about the sequel this time around. Maniac Mansion was a LucasArts game from the year 1987 that revolves on the plot of a mad scientist named Dr. Fred Edison who wasn't quite himself after he came into contact with a mysterious meteor from space that has mind controlling powers that took away Dr. Edison's free will. 20 years later, Dr. Edison abducted a college girl named Sandy as a test subject for his diabolical plans that are being made upon orders from the meteor. Dave Miller, Sandy's boyfriend locates his captured girlfriend at the Edison Mansion that is located somewhere in the countryside. Rather than calling the police to apprehand the mad doctor, Dave chooses the Scooby Doo route by recruiting two of his friends to rescue Sandy. The mansion is not out of the ordinary as there are traps, hidden rooms, and the presence of two disembodied tentacles that the Edison family keep as pets. With the help of two friends, Dave is likely to rescue his girlfriend or die trying.Maniac Mansion was an innovating adventure of its time as it was the first LucasArts game to utilize the SCUMM(Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) game engine. Commands like 'look', 'give', 'use' etc. were among the fuctions of the game giving players various options during the gameplay. Future LucasArts adventure games would use this concept until other game engines came along to replace it. The game has six different characters to select with Dave as the default choice with the additional two friends of his being one of the six choices. Each character has his or her own special skills and effects the out come of the game. Among the choices is Bernard who is the only recuring character for the Day of the Tentacle. So I always include him in the party, but you are welcome to choose whoever in order to see the different endings. The game was directed by Ron Gilbert who would later direct the first two Monkey Island games as well as the first Putt-Putt & Spy Fox games from Humongous Entertainment. A then unknown Tim Schafer was among the programmers for this game, he would later write for Secret of Monkey Island & co-directed Day of the Tentacle which got his computer adventure game career rolling. The overall plot of the game is a parody to various monster B rated movies, the Edisons are on par with the Addams Family and the Edison Mansion was model after the Skywalker Ranch house. Comparing this game to todays games shows how far adventure games have went. This game is dated but should be taken for what it is as it did provided inspiration for future adventure games and jump started some of the original programmers careers. It spawn an even better sequel Day of the Tentacle, which I already said what I needed to say about that game. Read my review on that for more details. Maniac Mansion holds an importance to the history of games, an importance that shouldn't be ignored as given reasons aboved.
