Episode 35
Maniac Mansion is one of the most ambitious Adventure games ever made for the NES! There are 7 different characters you can play as, and just as many different endings!
So how did this PC game make its way to the NES, and what "offensive" things did Nintendo insist on censoring? In today's episode, we'll find out!
Unlike some other point-and-click adventure games, Maniac Mansion is one where you can definitely mess up so badly that you'll have to start the game over from the beginning. Some of the puzzles are extremely devious, but after watching this video, you'll be an expert! We'll learn:
* What are ALL of the important items? Which can be avoided?
* How to complete the game with ANY characters!
* Fun ways to blow up the house or kill off your characters!
* The SECRET trick to lock Nurse Edna in place!
* How to haunt the Mansion as an INVISIBLE GHOST!
* The EASY way to escape the dungeon!
* How to get EVERY ENDING, even the one that requires a very specific combination of characters!
* House Key, Silver Key, Yellow Key, Card Key, Glowing Key, Rusty Key, Small Key - EVERY KEY and what it opens!
* The SHORCUT to completing the game's final puzzle!
* The secret way to KILL the EVIL METEOR instead of just sending it to space... AND MORE!

That is a plausible statement, and it is possible that these Nintendo game walkthroughs are provided by the doggy. I'll tell you all a quick story. This is a true story. Once upon a time (roughly a little more than a decade ago) in a part of Toronto, Ontario, where I'm from, there lived a fellow that ran for the office of city councilor in the beaches area of East York! He ran for that office with a little twist, he put a picture of his dog's face as the candidate! No word of a lie. Amazingly, he almost won too! 😁😂🤣 Many folks enjoyed the idea of an actual dog in city council or at least of it representing an office in it, but the only reason why he or the dog didn't win the seat, was just because the candidate that won, ran a much better campaign!

I played this on PC back in the early 90's. There was no music other than the opening theme.

The "stunned Edna" trick also works at the very beginning of the game in the kitchen. I remember finding it out by accident. If you're quick enough switching to another kid and switch back to the kid in the kitchen, she'll be gone. I use it almost every playthrough.

@UCanBeatVideoGames 2 года назад

@magicwordxyzzy Год назад

You can also send a kid to the kitchen faucet and change characters, then whenever you go back to that kid it'll be scrolled over far enough to see if she's still there without the kid being close enough for her to notice. I don't generally have a "dungeon kid" so I usually do this to determine when it's safe to go to and past the fridge.

@TyphinHoofbun 2 года назад

There's a hidden keypad in the hallway just behind it (near the base of the wall where the tastefully nude statue was removed), presumably meant to be the one for the door. But since the "security symbol" keypad doesn't exist in-game, it uses the same "numeric" one everywhere else. There's no code that it'll accept as valid and since there's no penalty for using any the legitimate keypads with the wrong code, there's no way to cancel, meaning the moment you select "Use Keypad", you're doomed.

@DavidRomigJr 2 года назад

The keypad apparently does have a valid code but you need a memory viewer to find it and you’ll probably never guess it. Since the copy protection was disconnected from the door, all entering correct code does is stop the countdown timer and the house from exploding.

Outside was nearly pitch black minus the starlight. Coyotes were howling and earlier in the night we had a big ass snake break in the house that my grandpa had to axe to death. Was supposed to go to bed but instead turned on the NES and started playing. Freaked me out so much when I got chased that first time that I didn’t touch the game again for a week.

@DavidRomigJr 2 года назад

That’s left over copy protection from the DOS version. The door was changed to a steel security door and a keypad added that you had to use to open the door. In the NES version they disabled the check and removed the keypad graphic, but left the steel security door and keypad object (though in an odd place). Once you use the keypad, you have a fixed amount of time to enter the correct code before the house explodes. Enter the incorrect code too many times or all 0s and the house explodes. There is a correct code but it only stops the house from exploding and there’s no way to know what it is on the NES version without a memory viewer and you probably won’t guess it.

@bennel3588 2 года назад

@@DavidRomigJr Does copy protection mean to stop people from copying the game?

@DavidRomigJr 2 года назад

Generally. Early copy protection was an attempt to stop unauthorized copying. Modern copy protection is more often an attempt to slow unauthorized copying down long enough for developers to realize earnings from first sales. Copy protection using pack in items can be fun. Poor copy protection can, unfortunately, make pirating a cracked copy a more positive experience.

@bennel3588 2 года назад

Some games have anti-pirating screens, so if the games get pirated, they are unable to play. I was told that playing the games on a pirated machine would also give the same results. Pirate Donkey Kong Country 2 and 3, and you'll be unable to play the game. I read about Mega Man X game will go crazy if you pirated it, and then someone says that it's not an anti-pirating protection, it's a glitch. I'm not sure what to answer because when I made a post that was not correct, I got cussed out and criticized by a kind genius who knows how naughty it is to get things wrong, and getting things wrong is not a typo, it's criminal. Another reason for him criticizing me is because I been mean to everybody, so everybody has the right to criticize me. I will not report anyone who criticizes me, but I need to get reported for criminal cases I been doing.

@@cnkclark I'll be fair: 99% of the editor suggestions are fantastic, it's the 1% that are ludicrous.

What's cool about this game is that I actually spoke to George Sanger over e-mail in real life who was the music director. That's actually the only person I've ever had contact with that did work on a video game.

The meteor police always cracked me up! Looking back I don't even know how we figured out several of these endings with no internet or guides!

Dude I was around 10 when I rented this game and I had no idea what I was doing. After watching the madness you played I would have never figured any of that out on my own. Very fun watching your playthroughs as it brings me back to a simpler time as a child. Keep up the awesome work!

@Nightweaver1 Год назад

Yep, I was 10 as well when I found this at the rental store and gave it a try. Absolutely no idea what I was doing. It was far too cerebral for a kid like me.

I've just stumbled into this channel and have to say this is one of the very best breakdowns of the game I've ever seen and I really appreciate the deep dive you went into the game and the history and all of the endings and possible outcomes. Thanks for showing off some of the endings I had no idea that existed and how to get them in a clear and concise manner!

@notrab13 5 месяцев назад

I was too young for command prompt adventure pc games in their heyday, but I was gifted my NES when I was seven years old. My dad bought us Maniac Mansion for some odd reason. I was too young to understand so many of the Gen X ideas and humor, but I was so taken with the sheer scope of the emergent gameplay. I never once got a good ending as a child, but the music, story, and introduction to point-and-click adventure games stick with me more than 30 years later. Lucas Arts formed the bedrock of so much of my tastes to this day with amazing releases like this, Loom, Grim Fandango, Tie Fighter, and others.

@tomfrost6049 9 месяцев назад

I played this game non stop since I got it on the NES for my bday in the early 90s. I had finished the game every way and thought I had uncovered every secret... but killing off Wendy or using the space police AND Wendy? I never thought of that, so I've learned something new. Also in the PAL release of the game you couldn't microwave the Hamster, it wasn't until I emulated it years later I found out the results of that "fun"....

@warmachine68 2 года назад

@MurderWho 2 года назад

"Oh man, I'll definitely learn a lot of things from this!" I . . . didn't? I always felt like the game was hiding a lot from me that I never figured out, but the only things you've shown me are the arcade, (never knew why that was (supposed to be) important!), and feeding the meteor to the plant! I spent a lot of time with this game, it was one of my first adventure games :) I would later go back and play many of the classics I missed out on, but naturally this and DOTT stick with me still

@KarmaJolt 3 года назад

I legit love Pinball Quest. And Day of the Tentacle was one of my favorites as a kid. ALSO Bob from Schitt's Creek was Harry the Fly in Maniac Mansion (John Hemphill). Man, I'm 4 minutes into this video and I'm already typing like YES YES YES this game is so good and so is everything you've mentioned.

@rustyjones7908 3 года назад

Hoagie is awesome!

@UCanBeatVideoGames 2 года назад

Thank man! I knew SOMEONE else out there had to like Pinball Quest! I think its a really underrated gem. Totally didn't realize that Harry the Fly was Bob! That's so crazy!

@zalden2565 2 года назад

This game eluded me as a child. I can imagine the scope of it being mind blowing at the time and the quirkiness would have kept me hooked. It’s a shame it took me so long to find this, but I appreciate that your video(s) took me back to the past! Really, I appreciate the work you put into these.

I absolutely love Bernard's dialogue if you give him the Exploded Hamster: "It's a good thing I brought my pocket protector." I would also set impossible time limits by trying to beat the game after activating the tiny security pad on the second floor hallway just to the left of the security door.

I remember wanting to play this game as a kid, but my parents said no for some reason. Which might be just as well, because seeing how complex it is now, I probably wouldn't have gotten anywhere in it. This was a great video! You really had to go through a ton of steps and explanations, and you had to think about what order to present everything in! It must have been a lot of work, and we really appreciate it!

@alexisgs8800 2 года назад

This is the game I've played with the most when I was a child (I was 9 years old when I got it, I believe). I spent so many hours and days on Maniac Mansion, I was almost hypnotized! I then played Day of The Tentacle, and more recently Thimbleweed Park. I obviously finished them all. I'm still a hardcore fan of these games and I wish Ron Gilbert would have made many more like it. He doesn't seem interested in a new sequel, but I pray he changes his mind. If I was a rich man, I'd be willing to pay a million dollars for another one of these!

So back in 5th grade, I stayed over at a friend’s house for a weekend, and we spent all night Friday, all day Saturday, and all morning on Sunday playing this game, but never beat it. But even so, this is still one of my favorite nes games of all time. Your content just keeps getting better and better. I’m looking forward to when you hit 100K subscribers and beyond. Keep up the awesome work!
