Maniac Mansion, awesome! This is one of my favorite games for the NES. And you gotta go with the super nerd Bernard. As far as calling the police goes, why just settle calling the regular police when you can call the space police on the murderous meteor? :P There are a lot of different possible ways to win, although some of them only have very small differences. I would love to go back and play this game again, but I need to find another copy of it... Someday, Maniac Mansion... Someday... :P Good video! :)
Retrosode to be honest I actually saw this episode half a year ago and got the reference but I never really posted comments, I used to just be like "next video, next video, etc." without reading or posting comment. also I actually got to meet Howard Scott Warshaw at an arcade. yes. THE Howard Scott Warshaw. As in, the guy who made such classics as ET-er I mean Yars revenge on the good ol' Atari 2600. also fun fact: I'm 16 years old and know what Atari is.
+Matt Ring I'm impressed man! Never too young to appreciate the classics. I was just like you. Technically Nintendo was out by the time I was born so when I was a kid I had missed so much already, it wasn't until I was about your age when I went back and fell in love with games before the Atari. I'm a collector now and like you a treasure trove of Retro knowledge. Cool trivia the oldest console I have working right now is a vintage Vectrex.
I totally forgot you reviewed this game. I recently played the DOS version along with its sequel Day of the Tentacle. Have you checked Day of the Tentacle out? It was recommended to me by Jimmy Hapa. He let me borrow the CD, because... it's unavailable anywhere! hehe. Still, if you can get your hands on it, you're gonna love it. It's totally your style! You'd have a blast. Also, it's funny to watch everyone's first videos. You need to post more stuff buddy! :D You're getting to be as bad as my upload time frames.
+Retro Island Gaming Oh I've played Day of the Tentacle my friend. I had to stop for personal reasons but I will be back soon :) I miss making videos but I had to get some things in my life sorted out first. Also Maniac Mansion isn't my first episode, but no one gets to see my old videos :D!
SHOW ME THE HISTORY OF RETROSODE! I understand you need to take breaks. You were doing pretty good for a while there with uploads. Take your time. You're one of the channels I miss and look forward to. Quality over quantity!!!
+Retro Island Gaming Wow I totally missed this. Haha if you want to search the old Retrosode's then they are on RUclips, they're a different format than what I do now. Look up Retrosode - Mouse Trap ;)
LaffeeTaffeeGG Oh yea, all without a Guide. I faked it in the video but I'm actually really good at Maniac Mansion...I've been playing it for over 20 years so I know it like the back of my hand haha
Holy cats, Maniac Mansion! Hahahaha, wow! Are you planning to do a lot of old games like this? Or Let's Plays? Or just kinda--whatever takes your fancy?
sailtheplains Tonnes of old games, and everything else that tickles my fancy. They aren't really let's plays. If there's enough of a demand for it one day I'll do some :D
Retrosode I had to go and look this up online--since my Nintendo system is long gone. Oh man, I hope this site works. I wonder if they have Clocktower. *INVESTIGATE* game-oldies.com/play-online/maniac-mansion-nintendo-nes
Kierkegaard83 Well everyone seems to like it. I guess I'll just have to make more content I suppose :) If I promise more would I win you as a subscriber? ;) I'm happy to promise more I'm already working on the next episode...MORE CONTENT

RPGtourguide Bernard is awesome :D Thank you :) You should find a copy, or just come to Calgary, we can hang out and play haha :D
I'll be over in 5 minutes!... but not really. Haha, thanks for the invite. ;)
RPGtourguide Haha, well I'm sure you can find the game somewhere then, it's well worth it to have in your collection.
Nice "Ready Player One" reference at 2:09. That is and always will be one of the only books I enjoy as a retro game enthusiast.
+Matt Ring I have been waiting for 2 years for someone to catch that reference! Haha I'm with you man. Great book, better Audio Book :)

Awesome first video! I cannot wait to see more :)
Thanks :D! Hopefully more than 1 a month, I was being conservative.
Good stuff!
Thank you again good sir! :)
Awesome! Can't wait for the next one. :) mmm Pepsi
Pepsi is pretty fantastic :D
We, the audience, left you speechless at the end!
bsharpmajorscale That's very true! You know what they say, leave on a highnote. For me that meant no note :D

Haha well done, good sir, well done.
RP WhaBam Thank you kindly :D
One Banana was harmed in the making of this video
mgrew469 At least it was only one. I would have taken the lives of many!
I found the loose brick in the dungeon
Yeah that's a big thing to find, such a great game eh?
Did you beat this game without using a guide? Old pixellated puzzle games are notoriously impossible to beat
LaffeeTaffeeGG Oh yea, all without a Guide. I faked it in the video but I'm actually really good at Maniac Mansion...I've been playing it for over 20 years so I know it like the back of my hand haha

sailtheplains JonTron just did a review on the Snes version of Clocktower. It was incredibly funny, if you haven't seen that, you should go watch it.
What? Exposition that says something useful?
Beutimus It's rare, but it does happen :)
Did you eat the banana?
Ryan Kidder I didn't, but I did eat the hammer.
1 video per month? Boo! Internet demands more content!
