Description

Seventeen years after the initial release of the classic LucasArts adventure Maniac Mansion, the game has been revamped for modern systems in a 256-colour freeware remake by fans. Aside from the crisp graphics, they improved the SCUMM-interface itself and it now features digital sound effects and continuous background music, designed with the Adventure Game Studio engine. Although it is a complete remake built from scratch, the designers kept the gameplay, story and the many gags from the original game intact.

Screenshots

Maniac Mansion Deluxe Windows This room has lost a lot of its color intensity and it's hard to see who is in the picture over the fireplace. Generally, for me VGA is not much of an improvement compared to the enhanced original.

Maniac Mansion Deluxe Windows More flashlight testing - from this perspective, it's a pity that now when the power goes out, it's only for a short time, definitely much less than "5 or 6 minutes".

Maniac Mansion Deluxe Windows This guy can publish the meteor's memoir (if it has been improved by Wendy) or Green Tentacle's demo (if you can get something to trade for the tape).

Trivia

References

Like in the NES version of Maniac Mansion, you can find a disc labeled "Loom soundtrack" in the music room, which contains part of the music of the well-known LucasArts game.
The statue is the same that Indy finds at the nazi castle in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
