The Making of Maniac Mansion

Posted by Zonk on from the i-heart-purple-tentacle dept.

Edge Magazine Online has a piece up discussing the making of the classic title Maniac Mansion. From the article: "Maniac Mansion, then, is a tale of two achievements: one of the engine that would go on, in true Purple Tentacle style, to take on and momentarily conquer the gaming world, the other being an onscreen escapade that would fire the imaginations of all who embraced it, later inspiring a TV sitcom and proving the perfect application, unsurprisingly, for its tailor-made technology."

    Ugh, what a peice of garbage that TV show was. Despite the fact I loved Joe Flahherty(sp?) in SCTV, this show was such a pain to watch.
