Hello

A question for the folks at TelltaleGames:
Will you be bringing back Maniac Mansion like you did Monkey Island?

I know that a lot of people are waiting for it and would love to see an update.

Thanks

Believe me you don't want TT doing Maniac Mansion. Not anymore as this would involve doing a weird, adventure, game. You better ask Ron Gilbert on the DoubleFine site.

Either you have never played the game or are trying to make a dumb joke:confused:

Okay you got me. What's this Maniac Mansion you're talking about? Is it a character from Monkey Island? I've played all Monkey Islands but i can't remember a character with this name in both games.

A new Maniac Mansion game would be awesome but it would be difficult to do this series in an episodic format. Both MM games took place in one location and there weren't really any major plot points between the beginning and the end. But then again, they managed to do it with Sam & Max so it could be possible.
zounds!

There are already a couple remakes. Plus Ron Gilbert has talked about wanting to remake it for real...

I think what OX Bigly was asking was, are they going to make another sequel to MM.
A new game with a new story, sort of like tales of monkey island.

Well, I don't mean a sequel.
I mean redoing the graphics adding voices and redoing the music (OC Remix).

There is also no reason it should be episodic, the redo of the first Monkey Island wasn't.

As far as other remakes all I've ever seen is graphic updates.

It would be nice to add Day of the Tentacle added to it as well.

The reason why it would be episodic is because that's how Telltale works. They didn't do the Monkey Island Special Editions, like you seem to think they did.

Telltale did the new Monkey Island game, Tales of Monkey Island, under license from LucasArts. LucasArts produced the special edition remakes of The Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge, and they licensed the first SE for Telltale to sell in their store. If anybody's going to do a special edition of Maniac Mansion, it'll be LucasArts.

Why do a remake ? Lets see a new Maniac Mansion.

Besides Sam and Max hit the road and TOMI this was my favorite old adventure game. It would also be cool to see a new LOOM.
