Play Maniac Mansion (europe) Online

Maniac Mansion came to the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990, a conversion of the earlier computer game by Lucasfilm Games. On the NES, it was one of the more unusual titles, a point and click adventure that felt distinct from the platformers and action games dominating the system at the time.

You control Dave and choose two companions from a group of six teenagers, each with unique abilities. The goal is to rescue Dave's girlfriend Sandy from the mansion of the eccentric Dr. Fred. You explore the mansion screen by screen, picking up items and using them on the environment or characters to solve puzzles. The game is driven by this inventory based logic; you might combine a hamster with a microwave or use a tentacle as a key. Progress is slow and methodical, and it is easy to make a fatal mistake that requires a reload. Playing it feels like carefully assembling a strange, unpredictable machine.
