Good morning everyone,
Took a few photos of my Amiga 1200 in action this morning. Running the EXCELLENT adventure game from Lucasfilm Games, Maniac Mansion! I love most of the old point and click adventures, like Zak McKracken, Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade and so forth.
Anyway, my Amiga 1200 says good morning to you with these pictures:
Thanks for visiting my blog and have a nice Sunday! 🙂
Well done! Congrats 🙂
Thanks! 🙂 Hope you’ve had a good summer. Have you caught the news concerning possible PPC emulation in WinUAE btw?
Summer is awesome this year indeed. Getting little tired of that heat though 😉
I was never into PowePC much but that news sound cool anyway. Watching a demo in an emulator window is way more fun than watching it on youtube 🙂
Yes, it’s been very HOT at times. 😀 And I agree.. YouTube is last resort when watching releases, but very practical of course.
Very nice! I heard the Amiga/PC version of Maniac Mansion was a little better than what was ported to the NES.
Thanks. 🙂 The Amiga version is great, but I have never seen the NES-version in action. I would believe it would be a pain using a gamepad for such a game though – much easier with a mouse!
The NES version has a weird control scheme. Although explaining it is a bit harder than actually showing it. I think they might’ve taken some things out of the game for the Nintendo version, as for what I do not know since I haven’t played the original version.
Thanks for the info! Will head over to YouTube to see if there is a video of it there. 🙂
The truth is out there!
Love that background on my Workbench. 🙂 And yes… the truth IS out there! 😉
Yes! Maniac Mansion and Zak McKraken were my favorite games for years and years! I could never beat Mansion as a kid so I spent a month or so drawing up all of the environments and where items were located. This makes me want to find a copy again somehow…
Hi! Glad to see you enjoy these games. I actually have the original of Maniac Mansion for the Atari ST, but it is the Kixx-budget version.
Which version is that??
It’s the same game, just a later release with lower price. 😉
