Have you tried using SCUMMVM to see if it recognises the version of Maniac Mansion supplied with DotT Remastered (add game and point it to the according directory)? That should solve your problem if it works - savegame slots galore. He could not have praised it more had he tried -). LucasArts may not have endorsed it but at least Ron Gilbert did. Yes, you can still get it - some German computer magazine sites, for example, are still hosting it. Should that not work, do not waste your time, try Maniac Mansion Deluxe instead. If you reverse that or copy MANIAC.OVL to MANIAC.EXE you can start Maniac Mansion independently (press F5 for the save game menu). In the original version of DotT, Maniac Mansion has its own subdirectory and all they had done was to rename MANIAC.EXE to MANIAC.OVL. I have not got the remastered version (yet) but the version of Maniac Mansion supplied with the English versions of DotT (floppy and CD - in my case the CD and I still have it - I also used to have the German CD version but gave it away later because I did not like the German translation and voices - the English voices are just amazing!) at the time was the original version where you only had one savegame slot anyway while the German CD version and probably also the floppy version came with the EGA version that had more savegame slots (8 if I remember correctly - better but still not enough in my opinion). Personally I feel this makes it the worst version of Maniac Mansion ever released in the west.ĭF have said if it gets enough attention they'll see if it can be changed, so it could do with some upvotes if you too feel this is an issue. ZarkonDrule: The version of Maniac Mansion on the DOTT remaster has no save slots.Īll it has is a "resume" mode, which given that Maniac Mansion has lots of dead ends is not really helpful at all - as soon as you make a mistake you'd have to restart the whole game.
