The series we are going to cover today is a genre defining one as it helped establish LucasArts among the pantheon of adventure game studios and also helped in skyrocketing the careers of the people involved. Maniac Mansion and its sequel, Day of the Tentacle are two of the best examples of the genre’s heyday and played a crucial role in expanding the fan base of adventure games opening them up to larger audiences. They received multiple acclaims and as writer Orson Scott Card mentioned they were a step toward “computer games [becoming] a valid storytelling art”. Maniac Mansion especially established LucasArt’s signature user interface as a standard for its future adventure games as it was the reason SCUMM engine was developed. In this video we will cover the full history of both Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle.
