The application isn't essential to solve the game. There is another way to make the Bermuda alien your friend.

I'm only aware of the mailbox bug. You can't sent letters in Maniac Mansion on every DOS version which has the code door protection disabled. MM in DOTT is affected too.
Fortunately, ScummVM does not have this bug.

When I was working on that script for my Ultimate Talkie Edition beta, I noticed that it could also hang on the original DOS version, although it is rare on DOS and happens far more frequently in ScummVM. Obviously, this script is not written very well. I rewrote huge sections of the script in order...

All LucasArts adventures, Simon 1+2, Goblins 1-3, Beneath a Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1+2, Larry 5 and 6, and those freeware games you can download here, if you count them in.

No, it wouldn't, since it supports building the Ogg Vorbis version the same way it builds the FLAC version already. If you managed to build one version, you should manage to build the others too.

I hadn't thought much beyond "ooh maybe they'll release the original untouched Star Wars on Blu ray now!" While at it, they should hire Adywan as chief of the remastering division, and do seamless branching Blu-Ray editions with the original theatrical cut (with original mono, original do...

What is the standard of sound output for modern games? Usually pre recorded tracks, streamed by the game engine. They don't use MIDI anymore. MIDI files where mainly used due to limited capacities on floppy disks. Some early CD titles still used MIDI, usually when the game was released on floppies ...

Quick question, is using the MT-32 midi module essential for use with the LAPC-I? i.e. one will not work without the other? No. The MT-32 is a standalone sound modul which you can use on any MIDI out port, not limited to MPU401. With an USB MIDI cable, it can be used on today's computers. The LAPC-...

Granted, BTTF is not a very hard or complex game, but an adventure throughout, if you asked me. Games based on movies are usually just some boring shooter or platformer, but not this one. I liked the story, the acting, the graphics. All that together makes a well designed game, imho. Merely the qual...

From Telltale Games, all Sam and Max and Back to the Future episodes.

Yes. It was designed with that version.

More diversity would be more different versions and graphic modes of the game itself, ie. Amiga and Sega along with the PC enhanced CD and disk version and the VGA version also in EGA mode and the EGA version also in CGA and Hercules modes. And of course the Special Edition as well.

I don't remember right now, but all hints are there in the game, I'm sure.
I highly recommend the Universal Hint System for subtle hints without spoiling the solution right away: http://www.uhs-hints.com/uhsweb/grimfand.php

Does this include LucasArts as well?
I wish id Software, Revolution Software or some similar open source friendly company would buy LucasArts. We might even see the Scumm authoring tools released. Sadly, I guess we don't ever.

Wasn't Maniac Mansion NES the only ROM game supported? I thought, only disk version of the C64 games are supported, since there weren't any official versions on ROM.
