SECKRIT LAB!!! (ENDING) - MANIAC MANSION (BLIND) #11
21Welcome back to part 11, the final part and ending of my blind let's play series of Maniac Mansion; one of the original point and click adventure games ever to be released. When it came out in 1987, Maniac Mansion was one of the first games of its kind! Masterminded by Ron Gilbert, Garry Winnick and David Fox, the game sees us control several different characters and make our way around the mansion I became so familiar with in Day of the Tentacle! It can be a little tricky to play and doesn't really have a soundtrack but this little gem of a game is as retro as it gets for point and click adventure games!
In this episode, we take a slight detour to fulfill a request from Delta Flight Gaming (link to his channel below) and put Weird Ed's hamster in the microwave! As could be guessed, this isn't a great thing to do and has messy results. Then we give the remains of the hamster back to Weird Ed for an amusing cutscene! Then it's time to head off to the Seckrit Lab as Bernard. We use the Meteor Police badge to get past the Purple Tentacle and he runs away like a big baby. We go into the room where Sandy is being held and put on a Radiation Suit that we find in a cupboard. Then we use the keycard on a door and head into the final area of the game...

Maniac Mansion is a 1987 graphic adventure video game developed and published by Lucasfilm Games. It follows teenage protagonist Dave Miller as he attempts to rescue his girlfriend from a mad scientist, whose mind has been enslaved by a sentient meteor. The player uses a point-and-click interface to guide Dave and two of his six playable friends through the scientist's mansion while solving puzzles and avoiding dangers. Gameplay is non-linear, and the game must be completed in different ways based on the player's choice of characters. Initially released for the Commodore 64 and Apple II, Maniac Mansion was Lucasfilm Games' first self-published product.
The game was conceived in 1985 by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick, who sought to tell a comedic story based on horror film and B-movie clichés. They mapped out the project as a paper-and-pencil game before coding commenced. While earlier adventure titles had relied on command lines, Gilbert disliked such systems, and he developed Maniac Mansion's simpler point-and-click interface as a replacement. To speed up production, he created a game engine called SCUMM, which was used in many later LucasArts titles. After its release, Maniac Mansion was ported to several platforms. A port for the Nintendo Entertainment System had to be reworked heavily, in response to complaints by Nintendo of America that the game was inappropriate for children.[4]
Maniac Mansion was critically acclaimed: reviewers lauded its graphics, cutscenes, animation, and humor. Writer Orson Scott Card praised it as a step toward "computer games [becoming] a valid storytelling art". It influenced numerous graphic adventure titles, and its point-and-click interface became a standard feature in the genre. The game's success solidified Lucasfilm as a serious rival to adventure game studios such as Sierra On-Line. In 1990, Maniac Mansion was adapted into a three-season television series of the same name, written by Eugene Levy and starring Joe Flaherty. A sequel to the game, entitled Day of the Tentacle, was released in 1993.
Maniac Mansion is a graphic adventure game in which the player uses a point-and-click interface to guide characters through a two-dimensional game world and to solve puzzles. Fifteen action commands, such as "Walk To" and "Unlock", may be selected by the player from a menu on the screen's lower half.[5][6] The player starts the game by choosing two out of six characters to accompany protagonist Dave Miller.[5] Each character possesses unique abilities: for example, Syd and Razor can play musical instruments, while Bernard can repair appliances.
