Maniac Mansion (1990) is a unique game by LucasArts that has some weird humor and, in the NES version, cool music. It features cutscenes, multiple ways to win, useless items (like Chuck the Plant), and microwavable hamsters. In the storyline, Dave and two of his friends infiltrate the Edison family's mansion in order to rescue Dave's girlfriend. To save her, the teens must get access to the inner lab, deal with Purple Tentacle, shut down the ZOM-B-MATIC, and defeat the evil Meteor.
Arc ( tasvideos.org/... ) and ShesChardcore ( tasvideos.org/... ) collaborate for this run to save 67 seconds over the previous run thanks to a couple of new glitches that have since been discovered by real-time speedrunners. For more information on those glitches, you can read the authors' notes ( tasvideos.org/... ).

Awesome TAS. Huge props to the authors for continuing to improve this run for almost 20 years.
A fun piece of history broken- to see cutscene skips for the first gaming cinematics internally named cutscenes.

[@mads_in_zero]

If anyone's ever wondered why they're called cutscenes, it's because Ron Gilbert named them after the way he'd have them "cut" away from gameplay to something happening at the same time!

It's amazing that this TAS requires the house be set to explode 3 different ways.

looks like a typical ZX Spectrum game

[@rickpgriffin]

Would be really funny if the house exploded during the credits

[@UGRRetribution]

I hope we'll see a Famicom TAS, too.

Did momma disappear from the fridge!! What!

[@Mikewee777]

I am unfamiliar with the plot . I just recognize the #ZAMN reference .

[@MrV902]

Actually Zombies Ate My Neighbors would have been referencing this game, as the former is an SNES game and this one is an NES game.

[@Mikewee777]

@@MrV902 Valid point . Thank you for correcting me .

[@AlvinJLopez]

I dont understand. What happened?? Lol. I spent years playing this.

Why are there weird anime pictures at the beginning of these videos? Get rid of that nonsense, it's not needed.
