Stellar Mess: Operation Kush is out now on #Steam and #itchiogames , the second chapter of my retro 2D point'n'click adventure games inspired by the great classics of the genre like Maniac Mansion ("@grumpygamer")
and Zak McKracken.

Maniac Mansion from @grumpygamer is an integral part of my retro gaming cave. And yes, there is an Edna in the window.
@DanielZima @grumpygamer in a similar spirit I had to chuckle when I watched @peternoster play the #ManiacMansion homage #TheCastle on Twitch. It was hilarious when we finally found the silly solution to enter the castle after overlooking it for half an hour :D. Also none of the ideas from the chat worked - but when we had it was a big facepalm moment for everyone :D.
Altro progetto , basato sul gioco #maniacmansion https://www.night-of-the-meteor.de/en/about.html dalle foto del gioco promette bene , ma è dal 2008 che ci stanno lavorando e nessun demo disponibile . …. Ecco alcune foto che potrete trovare anche sul sito …
What secret might be hidden behind the grandfather clock?
TIL there was an Apple II version of Maniac Mansion.

They stuck. I finished it with Wendy and Razor, using Wendy’s abilities. Then I opened a saved game and used Razor’s abilities instead.
There are still a few things I’d like to try.
I finished Maniac Mansion for the first time, without hints. Some puzzles were pretty capillotracted (far-fetched.)
I used Bernard and Michael, but I might not have needed Michael in the end. No idea how I’d do it without Bernard, though. I’ll have to try that. I have a couple of ideas, but none of them are sticking (hint, hint.)
The Macintosh version of Maniac Mansion, i.e. the one included as an Easter Egg in Day of the Tentacle, running in the development version of ScummVM.
There is not yet any user friendly way of setting this up, but it's encouraging to see that the Macintosh GUI seems to work as it should. I'm sure there are bugs, but there's plenty of time to worry about those.
I return to #ManiacMansion !
As before, I'm playing via #ScummVM on a Nintendo 3DS, using the enhanced MS-DOS version of the game.
Last night, the game ended in disaster. This time, I'm starting a new game using Dave, Michael, and Wendy.
I supplied dinner in order to get my 3DS back. I snuck in some more Maniac Mansion while stomachs settled (#Parenting).
Leaving the Art Room, I'm still avoiding the ominous steel door in the middle of the hall. I'm wandering to the other side instead.
A parlor! At least, I think that's what this is.
“20 years ago today…” #maniacmansion
My youngest has been asking nonstop about #ManiacMansion ever since we played #ThimbleweedPark.
So today we are playing it on the #Commodore #Amiga 500.

One of my favorite puzzles from my canceled #ManiacMansionMania Episode from 2009: serving a gross pizza to Bernard's mean sister Britney to make her leave her room.
You don't want to know what was in the pizza.
I developed two Halloween special episodes for Maniac Mansion Mania: The Curse of Maniac Mansion (2006) and Bad and Mad (2010).
Happy Halloween!
