It's not hard to see why this game is still considered a classic, even for those who aren't superfans of the point and click adventure genre. I played Maniac Mansion on NES years ago and loved it, and while this game is a bit of a departure from it (you don't build a party at the beginning, the three characters don't interact in the same environments), it brings a lot of fun new elements to the table, like the amazing voicework (apart from Laverne, who feels almost comatose by comparison). The graphics (I played the "retro version", which I'd recommend) are fun and colorful and cartoony, and remind me distinctly of Earthwork Jim. One of my few complaints about the game is the sound design; it's full to bursting with all manner of rehashed Saturday morning cartoon sound effects, which work fine, but the background music is drab and uninteresting. I only bring it up because Maniac Mansion had some of the best music of any game of any generation. The game does have some intensely moon brain puzzle logic, but in my experience if you're playing a tongue-in-cheek cartoony point and click game, that's part of the package. One of the achievements, which you get after a particularly implausible puzzle, is actually called "Oh yeah, I'm playing a cartoon". This game isn't for everyone, just as this genre isn't for everyone. But if it's For You, you'll know it.

Love love love this game ! Originally had this game on a old Win 95 comptuer without sound ! This was so good to replay with sound ! Loved this game so much. I don't know why but i was hoping for a little bit more in a remaster. I can remember getting stuck for a long time over one simple action and be like "holy fuck, that's what i had to do ?!?!?!?!? . Bought this game and beat it in a 2 hour session, just love love love this game ! Impossible to lose at this game unless you are not crafty and able to read the storyline well !!!

One of my favorite games from the '90s. I was just a child back then, so this game had a huge impact on me. Installing it floppy by floppy, hoping for no sector errors, and then running it—hearing actual voices through my Sound Blaster 16—wow, those were amazing memories. The game itself is so much fun, with three characters whose actions affect each other. It’s truly a delight to play.

Did you play this game back in the day? Sliding floppy disks into your 486 or similar? If the answer is yes, then you have to buy it. Its an outstanding remaster, true to the original, updated just enough so as to not lose any of the charm. My teenage brain definitely tackled the puzzles more effectively than my more logical adult brain! It was just as sniggeringly funny as it was the first time around, a proper nostalgia trip. Maybe its time for Sam and Max next...

This game is on my mind more often than any other, because of good reasons. It is one of my favourites and after all these years, it still holds up. Funny as hell and visually very pleasing. It is so ridiculous, I love it. It also includes Maniac Mansion, so it is technically two games in one. The price is very much worth it for this classic and 100% completing it is very much possible. I did it in under 8 hours.
