Maniac Mansion Deluxe

Maniac Mansion Deluxe is a fan-made remake of the Lucasfilm classic Maniac Mansion, updating the original adventure with improved graphics and sound while preserving its wonderfully bizarre humor. Players explore the eccentric mansion, control different characters and solve puzzles involving an unusually dysfunctional family and their even stranger visitors. The game retains the freedom to approach situations in different ways, meaning that experimentation is encouraged and several characters can meet rather unfortunate ends. Its point-and-click structure feels delightfully old-fashioned today, but the humor and puzzle design remain entertaining. Maniac Mansion Deluxe is an excellent example of a fan project done with genuine affection, giving a classic adventure a fresh coat of paint without sanding away its personality.
