Maniac Mansion Review | The Chronosphere

[Version: Enhanced Edition for PC on Steam]
Maniac Mansion was a breakthrough in many ways, putting an engaging and comical story on your Commodore 64-screen while simultaneously inventing cutscenes and evolving classic adventure games to a whole new level with the development of the SCUMM interface. This amazing feat has rightfully put the game in many people's personal gaming hall of fames.
Experiencing this classic 1987 graphic adventure for the first time in 2020, more than 30 years after its initial release before I was even born, has been quite the exercise in time travel. So how does Ron Gilbert's supposed masterpiece fare in a modern context?
