Maniac Mansion Mania is an project similar to RON and is located in the Maniac Mansion Universe.
We have over 70 regular Episodes now, and far over 100 Games with the Specials included.
Many of them are really great fangames.

The biggest problem is, Maniac Mansion Mania has started as an German Project,
and its very difficult break the barrier, to make it an international project.

Many Maniac Mansion Fans from the whole world sends emails, with the appeal to translate the episodes in englisch.
But this is not so easy, as it sounds.

For example:
I'm from an Austria and my native language is german, i have basic englisch knowledge from school.
But not enough to make an decent translation, as you can imagine when you read this text.  ;)
Most of the developers are very young, and they maybe have less englisch knowledge as i have ,
and dont want to spend their time to make translations in broken englisch, wich results in harsh critics for the bad spellings.

So i want to make an Overview Thread of what is going on in this case in Maniac Mansion Mania.
And if someone want to help us, we can hopefully pull together this project a bit more playable for non-german speakers.


Here is an Overview of already translated Episodes and
Episodes they are in waiting state for proofreading.
The Episodes not listed here, need complete translation.

Translated:
Episode 1: Sibling Love
Episode 2: Commotion
Episode 8: The rebuff
Episode 9: Radioactive
Episode 15: Place Machine
Episode 33: Carry on Smiley!
Episode 40: Trapped in the cellar
Episode 61: Bernard's Room

And all people who can help us translate more episodes from german to englisch are anyway always welcome.  :)
