What would you do in Maniac Mansion?

Well, just that: what would you do if you where inside Maniac Mansion?

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Tue 30/11/2004 19:47:21

Push the gargoyle and lever it so the secret door never closed. Also, I'd have a workout, a nice bath with Ted, would open the grandfather clock, and would bathe in the radioactive pool (and act surprised when tentacles started growing).

If this post continues to be funny, I may add some quotes to my Maniac Zombies page.

That's great Scummbuddy, but you should give us your opinion!

You mean, besides blatantly ignoring the velvet rope and sign saying "upstairs library closed"....

hmmm... maybe I'd take up Edna on that "chain you to the bed thing"....

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Wed 01/12/2004 08:08:21

Yeach, Scumm! That's disgusting!

I once read they had to make a "softer" version of Maniac Mansion for the American NES-Release, and it did not contain the "I should have tied you to the bed" phrase.
Anyway, I would pet the hamster a lot, its so cute, and I would stare at Razor's legs all the time

and maybe try to eat some of the rotten meat and drink the pepsi, since nobody else wants it anyway.

I think I'd just spend the whole day playing on the video games while hearing Metal music on Green's speakers with the whole house trembling. ^^

I think I once saw somewhere on the Internet that in that American NES-Release censored many things. The nude-statue in the hall behind the blue security door had disappeared.

I would get in the edsel, travel to Mars and get the chainsaw gas.

Two words. Tenticle rape!

Did you ever play the tentacle mating song on Green's stereo? I don't know what happens but Green hops towards you, it fades to black and you end up dead. So I'm not going to think about that anymore.

Oh, I'll try that later, but what's "tentacle mating song"?

Yesterday, when I was in bed, I thought of waiting until the package for Ed arrives, and then hide on the kitchen/outside and while he is picking it up, close him outside. I couldn't hold the laughter. Muahahaha!

I've been thinking a while and it would be great to put the hamster in the microwave...

YOke · Wed 01/12/2004 20:35:32

I would NOT GO INTO THAT FRIGGIN HOUSE!!!! YOU JUST DIE, DIE, DIE AND DIE AGAIN!!!!

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Wed 01/12/2004 22:47:28

You're exagerating, my dear friend. Besides, it's not as if your two buddies wouldn't be able to use the Chron-O-John to rescue you. Even Dr. Fred would mention that if someone had died before Sandy was rescued.

At any rate, I've been thinking and thinking and thinking, and I think I wouldn't mind publishing that meteor's autobiography. As long as I labeled it "fiction", it could be a bestseller!

Mr Flibble · Wed 01/12/2004 23:00:29

In Zak McKraken, is Katmandu I believe, theres a poster in the police station that says "WANTED: One purple meteor. For oozing slime and doing gobs and horrible things."

If I was in the mansion I would have the sense to turn the microwave off before I opeded it. You'd think it would be obvious, but no...

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Thu 02/12/2004 10:25:48

As Bernard I would work out on the Hunk-o-Matic until I was mega buff, then I would kick Dave's ass and take Sandy away in Dr. Ed's Weird Edsel.

I might have the name wrong, and it might just be something from LucasFan's deluxe edition, but there's a record that plays a high pitched squeal that is used to break glass. It's the tentacle mating song or call or something.

Mickey Bitsko · Thu 02/12/2004 16:30:48

I would give the tentacle lots of love, in the hope that that would counteract the pernicious effects from drinking polluted water. Ã,Â Then he would never want to take over the world and "DOTT" would never have been made and "Willow" would now be thought of as Lucas' greatest achievement.

Oh, now I know what you mean. Probably you got the name ok but it's been a long time since I played MM in English. I tried it, but in the original version of the game it doesn't ocurr that ^^. I'll try another day in the Deluxe.

You should be banned from this community! How can you wish of DOTT never being made. I'm thinking of reporting to the moderator for your behavior. ^^

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Thu 02/12/2004 19:53:54

...anyway, what's "Willow"?

Bombadil, that's really uncalled for. I know you're probably joking, but not everyone has the same tastes in games. I could never play MM for more than a few minutes (it bored me to tears), and I've never played DOTT. Some people on this board are Sierra fans and don't like LucasArts games all that much. It's just a LITTLE mean to say we should be banned.

Rui: "Willow" is this. It is a movie of awesomeness.
