Game review: https://rb.gy/56qdib ♦ Episode description: see below ↓
In the second part of the Maniac Mansion playthrough, Dave and his friends successfully complete all their tasks, finding the key and the secret combination to unlock Dr. Fred's laboratory, managing to neutralize the evil Purple Tentacle, and, finally, figuring out how to defeat the murderous Purple Meteor. Multiple strategies involving specific strengths of various characters are shown - along with some tragic endings - but ultimately, it all comes down to rescuing Sandy and curing the Edison family from their meteor-induced hypnosis...
[NOTE: This is a newly re-recorded version of my original playthrough, this time played through ScummVM rather than DosBox, with higher graphical resolution and a bit less mouse-roaming than before. Additionally, this recording combines three different playthroughs so as to showcase the relative strengths and weaknesses of all of Dave's companions (the original only featured Syd and Wendy).]
