Maniac Mansion review
Zero Magazine (1989): "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."

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...
