Maniac Mansion Any% Speedrun -

[@Harbinger28567]

Man, this game frustrated me to no end back in the day on the NES, and this guy zipped through it in nine minutes? Well done.

[@TheCodedtestament]

This game is truly remarkable in every sense. It was well ahead of it’s time and set the bench mark for future Point and Click games.

[@yotafro]

Brings back memories. Nostalgia... ahhhh

[@ossyta]

Gracias!! Maniac Mansion fué el primer juego de mi vida =) Buenísimo aporte! 9 minutos wow!

[@muraalia]

Wow. I used to play this game years ago and I never got... well, anywhere. Sooooo many things I missed though I looked almost everywhere. Always liked it, even if I didn't get it.

[@djmixnmagic]

There is a sort of twisted joy in microwaving the hamster. I love this game so.

[@shadders43]

When I played this on the NES it was the scariest thing I had ever experienced. Looking at it now, the "AI" of the mansion-dwellers is pretty basic, and it's just knowing what goes where. Thanks for uploading this!

[@wickett55]

I LOVED this game when I was a kid.

[@SamusAranxxx]

Wheeeee! The sound of the departing car is great.

[@gracet3]

Wow, it's great to see all of the gameplay that I never got to complete when I had it yonks ago. Didn't realise how short the game was!! Cheers for making it!

[@mznatalie]

thanks for posting i never got to beat this game on my commodore

[@d4nisg0d]

man...good old times :)

[@Marlene55M]

Well, it makes tons of sense to compare an adventure game of 1987 with an RPG of the 2010s. Congrats.

[@ShockRockRecords]

Really cool buddy, good speed- run :) This game got more charisma like a bunch of the newer ones, i. e. Tomb Raider etc. Glad that you post it, reminds me of the earlier days :D

[@sylvur]

That was awesome! I never knew you could skip so much content and still get the best ending for the game. :)

[@PHOSPHOR2010]

RESPECT

[@kellyluis3904]

That was awesome! I LOVE this game and this just brought back all the memories!

[@modder1975]

I loved this game. the gameplay and structure has been revolutionary

[@Wulfiebaby]

That was awesome. It's amazing how much of that game is superfluous, although you are very quick and accurate with the mouse, too.

[@Jeffieboi]

Wow, I totally forgot about this game. Thanks for putting up this video.

[@nekad2000]

I had forgotten how great the sound effects were in this game! Good job.

[@ffxivfingolfin]

i'm still scared of edna :) i will never forget the first moment i met her in the kitchen when i was like 10 years old lol

[@Gwenabe11]

WOW I used to play this game with one of my friends from 4th grade, and we never could get through it. Awesome to actually see it again!

[@thenodfather]

I was stuck on a part and that video helped. Thank you very much for that :-D

[@rbaleksandar]

Me too. Every time I play this or another one, I try to erease as much memories about how to finish it as possible so that I can play the whole thing as if for the first time. ^^

[@ChiTown2684]

Thanks for playing this and recording it... I never solved this game for my Apple IIgs (The worst computer in history because its an Apple) I got close a few times but it was too hard and my computer kept crashing!

[@kreschdruppreschd]

Das weckt alte Erinnerungen. War ein geiles Spiel zu seiner Zeit!

[@Adampro123]

Good lord dude you're fast this was my fave game back in the day

[@sonick808]

took me months to finish this game back in the day. Awesome!

[@eradeziel]

I loved this game, had it on my NES nearly 20 years ago! You could complete it in several different ways depending on the people you picked at the beginning.

[@Znapy]

This make me chill. It brings up so many scary memories, lol

[@karaterobot]

As a PS, even though you shaved a lot of time off by memorizing the codes, my boyfriend works with Ron Gilbert, the creator of Maniac Mansion. His best time is 2 hours 15 minutes. Congratulations - you impressed him. : )

[@Drrock32481]

Ah, this brings back memories. Such a great game.

[@mattmcgrath25]

Big thanks to El Nino for clearing up some misconceptions I had over the different versions of Maniac Mansion. My PC version is an unpatched one that was released in 1989.

[@WeirdNeville]

it was on a load of formats, I played it on C64 (with disk drive!). Great point and click adventure. It helped build a whole new (now defunct) genre.

[@feutchaque]

Brings back memories from wayyyy back

[@trueplayer12345]

dude, that was sweet. and you didn't have to shatter the chandelier in the living room to get the rusty key either. I used to love doing that.

[@zazelby]

The best part of this game is that this is not the only solution to the game, nor is it the only ending. Depending on who you have in your group, the path to the ending can be entirely different, and there's two or three endings, plus some variations for those endings. Beating the game with Bernard and Razor is nothing like beating it with Michael and Wendy.

[@AKhellbindeR]

I remember i had this for the NES when i was a little kid. There were creepy music on it though, and i couldn't read what the doctor guy was saying. It always creeped me out when he suddenly found you snooping around in his house, so i never got past the dungeon part lol :D

[@cryhog]

cool me and my sister never got around to beating it. thanx for sharing this.

[@dezoriajin]

I was in junior high when I discovered this game. It was so hard to beat back then, but now I can beat it in under 20 minutes.

[@StrafingMoose]

me too cult game of my childhood. I loved the idea of breaking into a big, dark, creepy mansion and looking around for clues

[@johnnyk427]

My favorite subtle touch in this game is if you make a recording of the broken record and send it to the recording industry executive, you get a funny cut scene where he praises the musical qualities of it :)

[@PartSiren]

yay, bard's tale! still remember the theme. i miss the gold old days...

[@Rexshine]

Watching this video is like watching the end of a good film.

[@Bsix1two]

The NES version adds a fun additional way to off the Meteor. Instead of sending the Meteor flying into space by placing it in the trunk of the Edsel and turning on the modified rocket engine, launch the Edsel without the Meteor. This will demolish the garage and leave a hole in the previously locked fence which will allow you to re-enter the mansion. Run all the way up to the den on the top floor of the mansion before the timer runs out and you can feed the Meteor to the man-eating plant!

[@levisk1212]

Wow I played this always on my Commodore.Its very good!

[@VisitorOf22]

@lnino you rule :D I was sooooo in love with this game back in da dayz... A friend of mine owned this game; I practically lived at his house to play it... Took us ages to finish it, but when u know what to do..... yah.... 15 minutes, tops. :P

[@DCRlive]

hey i dont now how you doing it, bud i remember that is was weeks bevore i ended the game. great work. nice that this can be find on youtube. History of real games. Have fun, greet DCRlive...

[@101Volts]

I love this game, There is so much you can do and it can be very funny.

[@panthermodern64]

I also agree, can't be honored.. you already knew the door code for the lab.

[@konfolut]

this is still one of my favourite games ever; i played that when i was very small on atari st which stil runs in contrast to few pcs i had

[@sahina91]

dunno how old i was when i used to play that back in the early 90's...i think i was 3 or 4 good times!

[@mikelunz]

I remember how in the begining I was always afraid that I would blow the house up... and how happy I was when I discovered the loose brick in the wall of the basement. This game took for ever to figure out... havent played a game as good since.

[@missopan]

GOSH!.. The people that made this game is a bunch of fucking geniuses!.. So ahead of its time!

[@Halligen1972]

To create an atmosphere like in maniac mansion with only 64kb memory...brilliant coders!!!

[@kevin777david]

Loved this. Ahead of it's time...

[@missopan]

So this game was possible to play through in only 9 fucking minutes, who would have known!? Hehe, im just wearing a Maniac Mansion t-shirt for the moment, the nostalgic feel against the skin brought me to do some remenissing on this old cult classic of a game, have such a fuzzy nostalgic feeling regarding this game, man! Could it be, THE BEST OF THE CLASSICS! *sigh*, MEMOORIIEESS! So neat how a game like this could be scary, its a little cute how it used to spook me, in all its fuzzy weirdness.

[@YellowBrickRoad-x1f]

I like how Dave just ignores everybody as he walks through the mansion.

[@d5h]

Yup, C64 had this, Zak McKracken, along with the Ultima, Might and Magic, and Bard's Tale series, not to mention hundreds if not thousands of other games. All pretty spartan by todays standards but just as fun, and like this one, they could get very intricate.

[@lnino]

1) You only need the rusty key, when you are alone in the dungeon. If you have two kids in the dungeon, one can push the wall and the other can escape. 2) This is a version for the PC. Especially this is the enhanced version with better graphic and sound.

[@Exera80]

@coolme1015 For people who wasnt born when this game was new and fresh I guess it does blow, for us who grew up on these games they bring back a lot of memories, most importantly memories of a gaming industry that wasnt boiled down to making graphically good looking games without any other purpouse then to make buckets of money on spoiled kids.

[@Alkimi]

I've never finished the game that way. Amazing, it brought back great memories, but they were distorted by the differences from the original NES game that I remember :(

[@ihaveashed]

loved the way he climbed the ladder, like a shuffle

[@HighPoweredLasers]

This was the first game I wanted to play when we upgraded to a EGA monitor.

[@zazelby]

@apex2000 Day of the Tentacle is the direct sequel to this game. The main character from DotT is also from this game (in fact, he's one of the characters chosen for this video).

[@levisk1212]

Best adventure ever.Cool.

[@GameHorder]

nice bro... i did a reg. LP on the deluxe version... diff. ending too

[@Lyynk424]

I could never beat this game and you just did it in 9 mins lol

[@3JABO]

you're my hero.

[@JTMarlin8]

Same here, this game was ridiculous when I played it. I think I had a 386 33mhz computer at the time. It was game over for me about 2 minutes into the game. Meltdown.

[@CSLucasEpic]

I didn't know you could finish like that. I usually had Bernard call the space police to take care of the Meteor.

[@lnino]

2 hours and 36 minutes is the time which Ron Gilbert needs when he plays it his fastest way.

[@MarcusGTA]

Estuve meses para pasarme una tercera parte, que maquina!!

[@5Komma5]

Sorry about that, I thought the security door (not lab door) was closed from the beginning but I just started MM and checked and it is open ...

[@TobiasMandel]

very well. I love this game!

[@lnino]

There are 4 different combinations, which change on every game start. When you think you are lucky, you can try to guess it. And that's exactly what I did, I guessed the combination.

[@makemelaf247]

This game bring back memories from over 10 years ago. WOW. I could never beat it. Surprisingly..my mother of all people actually beat it.

[@OmniXero1]

this game seriously owns

[@DanielMartinez81]

Great job, It take me hours to finish it, I realize that there are lots of objects and rooms at the game that don't have any utility...XD I think that it would be better if you include the whole ending (the part when doctor fred apologized for any inconvenient caused to sandy and her friends)....

[@werewolfbitevictim]

you've got to be kidding me it took me my entire life to figure out certain things about this game and then i always got stuck at the ending i didn't know what to do so i would try to guess the code at the end to disable the self destruct sequence god i feel like an idiot, you start the car!

[@Hrefnesholt]

Just plain awesome. I rmember my friend trying several months to solve that :-D

[@Eurospezial]

That 3301 u knew before, I think u got it by using the telescope... and you only show one way, but there were far more (especially involving the childrens unique abilities), i remember i managed to call "space police" and they took the meteor with them. Anyhow a great video, upvote - thx

[@Eticket109]

He mentioned this was the version included with the sequel. The door is also opened already in Maniac Mansion Deluxe

[@lnino]

This is the enhanced version, which is included in the "day of the tentacle" game. As i remember. :-)

[@roflmows]

there's a NEW version of Maniac Mansion coming soon from Vampyre games, totally updated and modernized to be more like a Sierra/King's Quest type of game. i'm really stoked to play it, already asking where i can pre-order the sucker!!! :D

[@TheAnarchyIsReal]

roflmows did it come out yet

[@sweetsatin24]

I fried most of my early childhood brain cells on this game. I loved the tainted turkey in the kitchen! LOVE IT!!!

[@alexwolfdoes]

Not even gonna lie, i used to play this like...8 years ago when i was like...7. haha i loved it.

[@kc550]

I love how the skeleton is huge compared to the characters....

[@3Bands77]

It took me the whole summer to beat that game. I am going to buy it again to beat it with 3 different characters.

[@MrJman220513]

im ur 300th sub

[@djsmileyoflasvegas]

brought back memories...i could never finish game.

[@lilbickiebub]

wow that was fantastic you did that mad quick and you didnt even have to develop that film in the package to do it! i was wondering in weird ednas room wen you go up the ladder is there anything up there of use and what happens wen you put that code in?

[@ElectricDischarge]

Wow, you're my idol XD!! I admire you a lot _o_

[@Mozzezz1984]

the "Emily the Strange" trailer got me thinking about this game. figured Id spend 9 minutes finding out what happened cause Ill proably never have the time to beat this game.

[@lnino]

Fake? Why do you think my video is a fake? All my videos are played by the fastest way, without any fakes.

[@TheCosmicStarmen]

Only thing was missing in this video was the EPIC MUSIC!!;P

[@BL00DEYES]

i was playing it on nes :) very good perf :D GG !

[@matthewmessner1105]

true true, the video was not speed up, they just walk hella fast in Maniac Mansion Enhanced

[@TheAnarchyIsReal]
