Udvarnoky Posted March 5, 2003 Posted March 5, 2003 As I'm sure you all know, the Classic Adventures Pack (http://www.lucasarts.com/companystore/classicadventures/) contains Mi1....well, they deleted the link from the company store, but the site still exists. Order it! heh.
xElaineMarleyx Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 Hmm... What's the catch? I WOULD.... If I was a lunatic who didn't have MI1 already!!! Hehe. And that's all I wanted to say. And I'm done. :cool:
SamNMax Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 Yuo WILL... Because it has Maniac Mansion, Zak Mckracken, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Loom on it.
smith Posted March 13, 2003 Posted March 13, 2003 The catch, of course, being that it's seemingly the floppy disk version - so no CD soundtrack for you... And of course, Maniac Mansion ain't hard to get, since it was included in Day Of The Tentacle as an easter egg. Having said that, hunting down Day Of The Tentacle is fairly challenging these days. Infact, there are a lot of classic lucasarts adventure games "out-of-print" these days
Udvarnoky Posted March 14, 2003 Author Posted March 14, 2003 Personally, I prefer the floppy disk version included in the pack. I consider it the definitive versions of SOMI. Yes, it had text inventory, but I thought the music was better. Also, the version of Maniac Mansion in the pack is NOT the one in DOTT. The version in the pack is the enhanced PC version (better graphics). The easter egg in DOTT is simply the commodore 64 version.
Meksilon Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 The CD Music is awesome - although I must admit my Killer Instict Soundtrack compleatly kills it! This is the mark of Meksilon.
Joshi Posted March 14, 2003 Posted March 14, 2003 strictly speaking, it's not an easter egg considering it tells you about it and tells you how to get at it in the DOTT manual. an easter egg is meant to be hidden and hard to find, but in DOTT, maniac mansion is clearly indicated (still have to play that ) and yes, it is the commodor 64 version because they couldn't fit the full graphics version on the disk along with DOTT.
Benny Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 No it isnt, its the earlier pc release of Maniac Mansion. There were two releases, one with more colours. The one with less colours as you say comes with DOTT. Its not the commodore 64 version running through pseudo-emulation or anything like that, its a seperate port
Udvarnoky Posted March 15, 2003 Author Posted March 15, 2003 There was never a PC version with graphics like that. It was indeed the C64 version, but they made it playable on the PC. You will not find a PC version with those graphics.
Benny Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 Yes you will, the version included with DOTT is a pc version. Its a new interpreter, maniac.ovl > maniac.exe. Theres also the fact that the SCUMM version is different: C64 MM - SPUTM V1 PC MM - SPUTM V2 PC MM (Enhanced) - SPUTM V2 There was a thread about this eons ago on Mojo here
smith Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 Heh, I'd have to say Amiga Monkey Island is the definative one, for my sins (i.e. owning an Amiga A600) - Still, I love the "cd-enhanced" version I have, if only for the fact that it's music is better than the version of MI2 on the same disk As for Maniac Mansion - are there any substantial differences between the three versions? Actually, four now i think about it, since there was also an Amiga version, though i doubt it's THAT, because of the PC speaker music and effects. To be honest, I've never seen a version with good graphics.
Benny Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 This thread is rapidly going off topic, I should probably split it off. Pah, what the hell. MM Pc 16 colours version 1 MM Pc 16 colours version 2 MM Pc enhanced version 1 MM Pc enhanced version 2 MM amiga 1 MM amiga 2
scabb Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 All version, including the NES version, are nicely documented here.
Udvarnoky Posted March 15, 2003 Author Posted March 15, 2003 I know what all the versions look like, thanks. Anyway, back to subject. I prefer the floppy version included in the adventures pack because it has the best graphics (equal to the CD) and I feel that the music is better. And obviously, it doesn't cut out any of the jokes that the CD version did.
