Maniac Mansion (NES, Japan)

Maniac Mansion, now 42% cartoonier.

This version of the game is completely different (and considered inferior) to the American NES port developed by Lucasfilm Games themselves, featuring greatly simplified rooms, no in-game music, and 104-character passwords (even the developers were aware this was a bit much; see below).

Sound Test#

Enter the password よいおときき たいなあ (yoi oto kikitai naa), which translates to "I wanna hear something good."

Hidden Messages#

Entering these passwords will display special messages... and hang the game up. The passwords cannot be translated without adding dakuten to some characters.
