Maniac Mansion was my first point and click adventure game. It was in elementary school. Don't know if there was a German translation, but I had the English version. So it was like looking at pictures and "muddling" through the game. Of course, the texts in the game including gags not understood, but still immediately thrilled by the nature of the game.

The game uses jump scares as basics and convinces with atmosphere. The game is never boring.

Thanks for the info. So it was so well done that the language barrier wasn't a problem. It's certainly ne retro graphics, but I'm not supposed to care. There is a remake though. And of the other two also sequels. Then I'm busy for the time being. I bought "The longest Journey" last year, but it was too boring for me because of the overwhelming dialogues.

You can watch the lets play of Gronkh. Even watching it is fun and scary, but playing it yourself is even better.

Well, that was of course mid/late 80s. Graphics standards were different then, of course, and we were a bit used to playing most games "in English". Of course there were many arcade games or jump'n runs where the language didn't matter. But "Maniac Mansion" was fascinating.

I don't know the remake. I think I had the sequel of "Zak Mccracken" a few years ago between. But that was nothing, as far as I remember.

By the way, in connection with translations, there is a very interesting interview with Boris Schneider...

Well have fun already, happy to give feedback.

Games were actually earlier ne amount, of course without the mega-hype, as when nowadays a new GTA appears or so. And the best thing, all for free... Someone had this or that game, then was copied among themselves and passed on. I guess, if at all, I spent 120 DM for empty disks. Actually curious, all without Internet and in retrospect I wonder how the software companies survived.

Sure, will be happy to give feedback then.


Back then there were probably no walkthroughs that you could just google on the internet and people still had to make a head. Or buy game magazines and hope that there was a Tip for their game.

All in all, it sounds like good times, when you could exchange and copy wildly among each other.
