5 Games to Play If You Love Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle

Maniac Mansion and its sequel, Day of the Tentacle, are often heralded as two of the best point-and-click games of all time. And that won't surprise anyone considering Ron Gilbert headed up the development of Maniac Mansion with Gary Winnick. Day of the Tentacle development was handed to LucasArts prodigies, Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman.
Every Lucasarts point and click game that came after Maniac Mansion was developed using the same engine - SCUMM - Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion. And many modern point-and-click games are modeled after the 90s LucasArts classics.
This makes Maniac Mansion one of, if not the most influential adventure game ever. Its biggest downside? There's just not enough of it.

I just love the idea of creating an entire fan sequel series to an old game.

Never heard of The Cave before. Not sure how that happened :) Thanks for pointing it out.

[@fracs6608]

I just played billy master was right, amazing!

[@MattGoshert]

Great video but Timbleweed Park came out in 2017.

[@Consequencesarts]

What did i say 😂

[@MattGoshert]

@@Consequencesarts 2014. Thats when the Kickstarter came out.

[@BennSimonn]

I'm surprised you disliked Zak McKracken that much because I find it truer to the spirit of Maniac Mansion than Day of the Tentacle is

[@lechuck835]

Well, Day of the tentacle is the sequel to MM 🤷 it's not about dislike, zak has nothing to do with it but the graphic style

[@BennSimonn]

@@lechuck835 He put Zak on the bottom tier of his tier list video

One more you need to play is "Justin Wack and the Big Time Hack". Full disclosure: I made it (but Ron Gilbert backed the Kickstarter, so he had a small hand in it 🎉) Here it is: www.warmkitten.com/justin-steam
