The NES version originally allowed you to put the hamster in the Microwave.

Once Nintendo became wise to this, they forced lucas Arts (or who ever) to remove that option. :)


I am currently playing through maniac Mansion Deluxe via ScummVM on my DSiXL.

Yes Nintendo had some strange rules back then, the same when i play Wolfenstein on the SNES, the dog are rats, and Hitler has no mustage, it looks quite weird :)


And they later removed Hitler's exploding head from the end of Bionic Commando too. :/

Well, poop, the extraction tool doesn't support the prototype ROM. I'll have to drop 'em a line about this...


Please do, I'd love to see the prototype supported as well, if not for historical reasons.

Maniac Mansion came out in 87, Zac in 88.


Hmmm, can't seem to load up Maniac Mansion.nes in ScummVM. What gives?

Agh ha, I have no need to fire it up then. I presumed they somehow managed to add Mouse support to the old NES version.

Back to Maniac Mansion Deluxe I go. ;)

Awesome, it excites me to think that Japanese players were experiencing American classics back then! :)

Strange port indeed!!!!

Hardcore Gaming 101 compares it to the comic strip Cathy; I can't really disagree with that assessment :lol:


I just read the review. I take back my previous comment. Too bad for the Japanese, they didn't get to experience it in near it's full glory. :(

What's the difference? :)


I thought they took the naked statue out of the US version?
