About this game

The Edison mansion has always been a creepy old house on the edge of town.

There have been rumors of strange experiments going on and of odd creatures living amongst the Edison family.

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.

About Sega Genesis

Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.

Gamevaro tracks Maniac Mansion for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Maniac Mansion to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1987.

Condition matters a lot for collector value: loose (cartridge/disc only), complete-in-box (CIB, with original packaging and manual) and factory-sealed copies are tracked separately because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
