NOTE: This hack has been superseded by
/hacks/7784/.
https://www.crockford.com/maniac.html lists several changes that were made prior to the game's final release.
The prototype version of Maniac Mansion includes many things which were later removed but a few censored details are still missing. This hack restores those details and improves many of the graphics as well.
The following changes are included:
- Change the arcade game name to the name suggested
- Improve the look of the text scrawled in the shower
- Restore the pennant graphics in Weird Ed's room
- Restore several lines of censored text
- Improve the various portraits in the game
- Fix glitched room under the house
- Many other improved graphics
The visual changes in this hack were very tedious and time consuming due to the compression used for both the graphics and room layouts.
