There are quite some mistakes he makes. First, the bitmap screen of the C64 is 8k, not 16k. Second, sprites aren't 24x24 but 24x21 pixels. And third, in the C64 version of Maniac Mansion the clock stands still. You just hear it ticking while the pendulum remains at its place. That might be different on other platforms, though. Also most of the pictures he shows aren't from the C64 game.

C64 sprites are 24 bits by 21 bits (not 24), or 3 bytes by 21. This seems odd until you realize that 3 bytes times 21 is 63 bytes, which makes it easy to fit the sprite data on a 64 bytes boundary in memory.

C64 Maniac Mansion was the first adventure game I ever played, but I must say that - unlike the latter LucasArts adventures which I was nuts about - I never really cared for it. In retrospect it was the numerous dead ends that probably made it insanely frustrating for me, although back then I didn't even recognize them as such. I think I thought the game had no actual solution, I treated it as sort of a "mad scientist mansion sandbox" in which you walked around a bit and then either got captured and/or killed, or you ran out of things to do. I did murder that hamster numerous times though.

Kara G: True, but part of that is for the best. Don't get me wrong; I loved my games back then, and still think they're great. However, after MM, Ron Gilbert wrote this whole article about how Adventure Games sucked, and in it he layed out a couple of rules on how to improve them. Some of those rules were: no deaths, don't allow characters to perform actions which make the game unwinnable, and certainly don't allow the latter without making it obvious to the gamer that their game is ruined. Those are the main rules I judge adventure games by, and he broke all of them in Maniac Mansion on multiple occasions. Anyway, they recently did make a game like that again, except this time adhering to the Gilbert rules that shall not be broken. It's called Thimbleweed Park. You probably heard of it already, and might even have finished it by now. But if not, give it a try. It's not half bad.

"Postmortem"? Did somebody die? Oh god, I hope not! If so then who? That aside though, fascinating video and really gives you a look into the gaming industry and it's a good lesson on writing and storytelling in general, particularly the whole bit about saying "shit head" lol. "Tuna head" is funnier imo because it's not something you hear every day like "shit head" and it brings some absurd imagery to mind and also it just sounds funny, the word "tuna" lol. It just goes to show that you don't always need to swear to be funny. And, sometimes, great ideas and elements of games, movies, books, etc. come about BECAUSE of limitations that force the creators to think outside the box. Actually, I would say this is often the case, especially for myself! Having total freedom with no technical or creative limitations can be boring and sometimes actually a disadvantage. It's something I kind of realized WHILE playing a video game ironically. The original Scribblenauts was a lot of fun and, despite the tagline, the only limit was NOT your imagination. Don't get me wrong it had lots of options and opportunities to get creative but it was still limited. Only so many words/objects could be crammed in there. This forced me to think outside the box to solve some puzzles and while it was frustrating sometimes it was also a lot of fun! When Super Scribblenauts came out I was, pardon the pun, super excited because of the inclusion of adjectives and how much MORE creativity and freedom the game would have! But I found out then that having more options isn't always a good thing. It was still fun of course, don't get me wrong, and I still think it's a good game. I'm not criticizing the game, it's my own fault for being lazy lol, but with the inclusion of adjectives I didn't really have to think outside the box as much. So I was able to solve puzzles in more mundane, obvious ways and it was boring. But again, that's more on me than the devs lol. Still, it kind of taught me a lesson about how sometimes having limits can SPARK creativity rather than kill it. Either way, thanks for posting this video and thank you to Rob Gilbert for sharing his wisdom and experience! And thank you, of course, to all the developers, programmers, and staff that made these beloved games possible!

suejak1 No doubt that he is a token character, that's not the point. The point is that creators of various media are forced to shoe-horn in a rainbow cast, and then pilloried when the characters are stereotypical or not fully fleshed out. You can make someone include a character, but you can't force him to write that character well. But aside from all that, I read your comment in the context of today's fad of finding everything offensive. If you were simply joking about the character rather than making a fuss, then I really don't mind.

While an enjoyable video, my takeaways from this are: 1) As a coder myself, I could totally relate when he talked about how he felt like the game was a mess and he was unsure if they were wasting their time on what they thought would be a pile of dog shit. 2) This guy is incredible full of himself. 3) They made the SCUMM engine while under employment with Lucas arts. According to work for hire laws, the engine would become the property of Lucas arts. By using it outside the company, they have committed IP theft and should be sued into the ground.

No offence, but it was shit. It wasn't particularly advanced, even for 1987. You didn't need to do a talk for this.
