scabb Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 This was on Slashdot a few days ago, as part of their mandatory adventure game pimp. It's actually quite interesting to see how daddy Nintendo stopped to "think of the children", so go read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATMachine Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 If you think that's good, you ought to try reading the full text of Douglas Crockford's essay The Expurgation of Maniac Mansion. There are a couple of things there not mentioned in the first article. Also, this fansite shows scans from the Nintendo Power magazine #16, which featured tips on Maniac Mansion. Ironically, if you look closely, the pictures in their own magazine are from the original uncensored version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercatfat Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I was pissed when I couldn't find those posters in Cousin Ted's room. It's not as bad as when I actually cried over my initial disappointment that I couldn't figure out anything I could do. I never thought of actually trying to open the security door.

Udvarnoky Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 This story is nothing new, and there is another interview with Crockford where he explains more fun stuff about the NES version. What's cool about the tsr site is that he seems to actually have his hands on an actual copy of the prototype. A rare find, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
