Maniac Mansion

There is even a story that a meteorite once crashed near the home nearly 20 years ago.

More immediately, a girl named Sandy has gone missing from the local highschool and her boyfriend Dave swears that he saw Dr.

Dave knows that he cannot do it alone and will need help from two other students if he has any hope of infiltrating the mansion and rescuing Sandy.

Players start by choosing two students to accompany Dave to the Edison mansion, and can then switch between these three characters at will.

Most actions are carried out by selecting verbs on the screen and applying them to an object (such as "OPEN Door").

Each character maintains a separate personality and may have a different way to solve a problem from his classmates.

Thus many of the puzzles can be overcome in different ways depending on the character being used.

If any one of the kids are captured by the Edisons, they are thrown into the dungeon and must be rescued themselves by any character who still has their freedom.

GOG release includes both Original and Enhanced game versions.

Maniac Mansion for Nintendo Entertainment System is currently worth €27.77 loose, €62.75 complete in box, and €154.42 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Maniac Mansion has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Maniac Mansion, loose is €27.77 and CIB is €62.75 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Maniac Mansion is currently worth €27.77 loose, versus €24.19 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
