Just back inside the house.
If you wish to leave to the cave, you'll have to find transport.


Yay! Finished it! Indeed, a nice game.

thanks to all, for playing this gameÃ,  ;D
and sorry for the difficulty, but my first game was to easy.
So i tryed to make this one harder and not to relate on myself, cause im a
very poor adventure player, and never will get through an game like this
without help.

I dont know if someone had explored, that theres an alternative ending.
i must admit that this second ending dont suits to bernard, cause normally
he would never do such a thing.
at least not in the original maniac mansion.
In DOTT he is not so reserved, and put the hamster in the ice-box for a long timeÃ,  :).
i guess you know what i mean.
sorry for the violence, but there is this hamster and .....

theres also multiple solutions for some puzzles.
you can heat the jug in the microwave instead of the campfire.
you can use either the moos from the vaccum or the branch for the mixture.

hope you enjoyed the game.
greets
rocco

Title: Re: Maniac Mansion Mania - Episode 9
Post by: Rocco on Wed 14/09/2005 08:19:08
if you familiar with the german language you can play them all -> http://maniacmansion.microspace.ch/episoden/staffel1.shtml
there are currently 34 episodes finished,
what is amazing cause the project started in march.
the problem is, most of them are not translated to englisch.
i guess only 5 episodes have been translated.
it took 4 months to translate this episode, cause I'm not able to
translate it by myself, and its a lot of work.

if this option is not available you must download the game again, cause the
