Finished: Maniac Mansion

Yep. the old one. Aaand – I finished it on my android phone (thank you ScummVM). I don’t know how often I played this one through, but this is my first time on the phone.

This is a true Lucasfilm classic. First released in 1987 it is already 30 years old now! You can get it on GOG.com if you don’t already own it.

The introduction screen (Kids: Dave, Syd, Michael, Wendy, Bernard, Razor and Jeff)

The story is all about Dave and his friends (you can choose up to two more companions on this Quest), trying to rescue Dave’s girl Sandy from the clutches of evil Dr. Fred. Dr. Fred himself, got possessed by an alien meteor, you additionally have to get rid of. (You can see it falling onto his ground in the intro sequence). For my playthrough I chose egghead Bernard Bernoulli, and Razor (screenshot), the cool leadsinger of her band Razor and the Scummets. If Razor wasn’t captured by Nurse Edna, she made herself the strongest character in the game and destroyed some lighting to get hidden keys. Bernard was nerding around, but got the Ham Radio online. So if you ever wanted to meet Purple and Green, get some Nachos and Cola (Jaw*: this is unhealthy!), put on the 80s John Hughes Vibe playlist on YT (or any other synthpop 80s playlist) and get going xD …

Razor got captured …

*Jaw: Just a warning
