I haven't downloaded it yet but...is it any good?

modgeulator · Sat 22/05/2004 15:35:54

Holy crap, this is amazing! It's a complete conversion of Maniac Mansion with VGA graphics, MIDI music and full sound effects. How was it done? Was there an FMTowns version of Maniac Mansion or are the graphics all redone by hand?

AGA · Sat 22/05/2004 21:06:20

The graphics are good, but they're not quite up to LEC standards, which leads me to believe they're all redrawn. There was never a 256-colour version of MM anyway...

They're done in the style of indy 3 and zak256 IMO.

Where is our beloved LucasFan, and his own post of completed game announcement? He hates us.Ã,Â :'(

Darth Mandarb · Sat 22/05/2004 22:48:45

Maybe we could dance through a few more hoops just to download the game?

I'll never understand why you have to click 'Click Here to Download' 12 times to finally get the frickin' DL started.

Anyway ... I'm checking it out now.

I run into an error - FaceCharacter in Another Room or some business - when I try and do the following.

Spoiler

If I give Weird Ed the exploded hamster, it gives me the cut scene and then the error.

[close]

And then the game shuts down.

If you go to the forums at his site, there seems to be alot of people talking about bugs and stuff.

That's just not LucasFan's style.

Besides, most people respect his creative and artistic brilliance too much to complain.

Eggie · Sun 23/05/2004 12:58:27

I just have one question..

Are the walking deads still there?

Redwall · Sun 23/05/2004 15:11:03

I don't remember any of those in Maniac Mansion...? It's been a long time since I played it though.

This is fun fun fun. I love it. Except I can't get to the room behind the paint blotch on the third floor...

Mr Flibble · Sun 23/05/2004 15:51:28

I haven't even played it (yet) and I know the answer to that one.

You have to use the brush with the paint remover, then the wall.

That's how I remember it, but it doesn't seem to work.

I played for about 20 minutes until all my characters were locked in the dungeon.
I think that counts as a walking dead - but maybe I'm just stupid. I never seriously played the original.

There are very few default actions, which is a shame.
And Razor was joking about Bernhard's aftershave - to Bernhard.
Seems a bit unfinished.

AGA · Sun 23/05/2004 17:16:02

Read my review. It's a 1:1 remake of the original game, albeit aesthetically improved. So yes, all the walking deads are still there, Eggie...

Maniac mansion remake released!
