Maniac Mansion review

"Maniac Mansion is a Lucasfilm game, in the vein of Zak McKracken, and owes a lot to the Sierra On-Line style. But it's a lot better executed than Sierra games, with speedy sprites and good use of your micro's memory to store screens, rather than loading them from disk every time." - Zero Magazine (1989) - Overall score: 75

    No, Maniac Mansion is WAY better than "Zak McKracken". I think you just like to lack and use the word "lack" like a gen z'er that doesn't know better or what to say. Maniac Mansion was the best, hands down. Still is!!!

    A great game, a classic! Day of the Tentacle wasn't the same thing, too easy.

    As a huge fan of Zak McKracken, I like Maniac Mansion too, but I find it less... enjoyable. Zak has something that Maniac Mansion lacks...
