About

Ever since a meteor landed in the back yard of Dr. Fred and Nurse Edna's Victorian mansion, bizarre things have been happening. First, their mutant son, Weird Ed, dropped out of school. Then patients started disappearing from Country Hospital. And now this strange event is affecting the lives of innocent (and even some not-so-innocent) teenagers. In fact, a girl named Sandy is being held captive in that musty old mansion right now. Sandy's boyfriend, Dave, has lots of friends who need you help to sneak in - and sneak her out. Now exactly how it all ends up depends entirely on which trio of friends you send in there. And which inhabitants you encounter. In fact, the farther you get inside the mansion, the more weird characters you'll meet. There's Nurse Edna - who's as nasty as she is ugly. There's a disembodied Tentacle who wants you to make him a rock star. And a host of others, who all have their own crazy quirks you'll have to deal with. Everyone in there seems to be working for Dr. Fred. But the question is: “Who is Dr. Fred working for?”

The game is available in English, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Maltese, Bulgarian and Russian.

@Bakunin
Instead of using wine, just try scummvm or a newer AGS version (you need to copy acwin.exe to the gamefolder and start that executable). It should work with no problems on Win11

I can't run Maniac Mansion Deluxe with my new laptop on Windows 11, with the older laptop (Windows 10) it worked perfectly, please help.

Error says:

There was a problem initializing graphics mode 320 x 200 (16-Bit)

(Problem: Can not set video mode)
Try to correct the problem or seek help from the AGS homepage.

Possible cause your graphics card drivers do not support this resolution. Run the game setup and try the other resolution.

--------------------------

The other resolution (640 x 400) works fine, now the problem is that all my saved games are with the 320 x 200 resolution, the same with all these Maniac Mansion Mania Episodes. The savegames just don't workl with the other resolution. How can I run these games again with 320 x 200 (16-Bit)

I've already tried winevdm, it didn't worked, I've already downloaded otvdm-v0.8.1.zip and extracted the file,it doesn't help in this case.

A perfect recreation of the original Maniac Mansion by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick. Every single detail was reproduced with perfection.
Absolutely a masterpiece of a masterpiece!
