Maniac Mansion
Nintendo Entertainment System (1990)
The NES port of Maniac Mansion was released twenty years ago today. I spent countless hours playing this game and, with the help of Nintendo Power, solving its puzzles with every combination of characters.
It wasn't until many years later that I had an opportunity to play the original on Commodore 64 and the enhanced DOS edition. Both of those versions are superior to the one that was released on the NES, but censored or not, the console version will always have a special place in my heart and bring back fond memories of my childhood.
