Title: Maniac Mansion Deluxe music
Post by: Revean on Mon 24/04/2017 12:00:03
So I could not find the answer anywhere and I'm not quite sure I should post this here, but I did not find the "help" section so mods feel free to move this thread.
Anyhow I cannot find a way to launch the game with the music, and the only thing that I hear are sound effects, which got me wondering if there is any music at all. Care to enlighten me?
I am using windows 8.1 if that's any help

Well there is music, but very little of it.
There's mostly just ambience.
If you can hear the music that plays on the intro movie, then it should be working just fine.

There is no way to add midi music from the NES version into this one? It would really make a difference playing the game  :undecided:

You could do a lifehack and play your favourite music in background. :)

Well I suppose you could take out the Music.VOX file to stop the default music from playing, then open up a media player and play the NES music that way.
You could even hack together your own Music.VOX file and swap it with the official one. To change the soundtracks of the various rooms.
But other than that, I don't think there's any way to do what you want. The creators clearly thought that the NES soundtrack detracted from the original game. Although personally, I think they should have included parts of it in some shape or form.

I think the game wouldn't start anymore, when the music.vox is missing.
But you could disable the music with the winsetup.exe

Ah, thanks for correcting me. I've never had to disable the music before, so I wasn't quite sure how you would go about doing that. :)
