What? Games? I thought this was a Murder She Wrote channel!? 😜
Lucasarts; A pleasurable amount of punishment.
Pro tip - If you own Day of the Tentacle, then you can play Maniac Mansion on the arcade machine in one of the rooms (or for the more techy people you can actually extract it from the DoT game folder and rename one of the files to be an .exe). Or buy it on Steam for just $6 :D
YES! I'm so happy you haven't stopped doing games, I like the Retro TV stuff, but I was worried you had stopped retro games. Keep up the good work, Roses!
When Jessica Fletcher plays a Sierra game, she never dies and never dead ends despite having no idea what the hell is going on until the last puzzle of the game.
My favourite TH-camr reviewing my favourite game? Yo Roses, I love you, you da best
>Dissin on the verbs
A great game. My favorite line was "Don't be a tuna head."
I always chose Razor or Wendy as the female sidekicks because i love seeing Wendy fixing the memoirs of the meteor & helping him with his novelist career or just doing the same with Green Tentacles music career by picking Razor ^_^ Also, yes the pointless items you can pick up are… pointless but when i played this game for the first time in 1991 or so, i LOVED the sheer amount of stuff you could pick up and try using anywhere. Up until that moment i had no idea you could do that in videogame. And i always loved this kind of playful interactive environment stuff in other games as well. Like in Duke Nukem 3D. So much to try out. It's an element that really makes a virtual world a lot more believable & fun to explore.
Your such an underrated youtuber i dont know you dont have a million followers yet
Another reason to get Manic Mansion 2: Day of the Tentacle, you can play the first Manic Mansion on a computer in it.
Great video! I remember that in an interview, one of the Lucasarts developers behind the port to NES said that the worst part about the censorship was how arbitrarious it felt. Like they asked if that risqué statue was ok to keep, and they received a response from Nintendo saying that "Ok, but don't show the pubic hair". They were so befuddled by this answer that they decide to remove the statue altogether.
Live action endscreen Roses! What universe have I stumbled into! ❤️
Maniac Mansion, such a great game.
Thanks for doing Maniac Mansion! This is actually my favorite Lucasfilm game. Not sure why, but I just love the dense complexity of this thing, even though it's not a long wound game.
Love this game, very fond memories from my childhood playing this.
I bought the last copy of the NES version my video store had, and it is, in my opinion, the best game on the system for all the reasons you mentioned. I think it has the best music for the NES, too. I, too, hated the requirement of choosing Dave since Dave had zero special abilities - He served as my brick-pusher, too, and I often would send him to his death before the game was over for a hysterical end scene.
Fun fact: The line "Don´t be a tuna head" was originally written "Don´t be a shit head" but the head of Lucasfilm Games was against any swear words. So Ron Gilbert came up with the term "tuna head" to protest against the ´censorship´. Another fun fact: They originally came up with 40 (!) different verbs but later reduced their number. Maniac mansion was one of my favorite games on my C64. My best friends also played it, actually we finished it together.
For those who are unaware, try Maniac Mansion Deluxe - it's a mind-blowingly good remake from fans!
