In its early days of glory, Lucasfilm Games publishes about 1-2 adventure or quest games per year. The company is well known for the superb graphics and gameplay in its games. Among these titles is Maniac Mansion—a classic adventure game from the days when the PC XT rules the world. The game has even inspired a television series by the same name.

It has been 20 years since a strange meteor…

If you google maniac mansion, you can find a remade version by Lucasfan. Same goes for King’s quest 3, 2, and 1, but on different sites. It’s a little different, but better graphics, runs on xp, and no copyrights in game.

WOW, amazing to see another Kirstin Wood on this site...and in Perth too!! I was just googling to see if there were any updates on Maniac Mansion after id been telling a friend about it. MM was my favourite game on the C64..ahhh those were the days.  I would absolutely love to see the game updated with top notch graphics and made available on PC or play station. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that that day is not too far away :-)

I love this game. every thing that was said was true even the down parts about the game. But the up part is we always played it no matter if it was to slow or if its 1 slot to save.

i know what you mean...and i came across your article searching for a walkthrough to maniac mansion, which im now going to bypass. i already ruined grim fandango(although i did solve alot of it on my own)which is one of the best games ever made. I am going to seek help at a CA (cheaters anonimous) meeting and thankyou for reminding me of th shame of cheating yourself out of solving the game alone.

Hi there,
in my opinion “Maniac Mansion” and Zak McKracken were the greatest Adventures ever. They opened new ways of computer playing and brought a lot of fun, not only into a child’s world of fantasy.

Thank you for such an informative site. Maniac Mansion brings back fond memories of the C64. I would love to get hold of a copy of Maniac Mansion to play on my PC. I have been to the C64 site (with the Top 50 games), this is where i first saw Maniac Mansion listed, but had trouble downloading it onto a disk. Your web page mentioned an updated cd version....where can i get this from...is it available in general computer stores? Thanks for your help and a HUGE thank you for such a wonderfully informative site, its people like yourselves that keep these computer games alive.

Hey! This is the first time that I have been to your site. Pretty cool! Found out about it by wanting to see if there were any news on “Maniac Mansion”. I didn’t know that there was a sequel. I wish that there would be a revival for PS2, Gamecube, or Xbox. I think I’ll start a campaign to write in to request a return. Well it was fun. Bye.
