Maniac Mansion
There are weird people living in Maniac Mansion: Dr. Fred, a “retired” physician turned mad scientist; Nurse Edna, a former health care professional whose hobbies would make a sailor blush; Weird Ed, a teenage commando with a hamster fetish; and then there’s Dead Cousin Ted, and the Tentacle, and somebody – or something – else. And what’s that sweet young cheerleader named Sandy doing in Dr. Fred’s basement? Your goal is to direct a team of three local college students (including Sandy’s boyfriend Dave) through the mansion to rescue Sandy.
