Maniac Mansion Mania is a fangame series created by fans of Maniac Mansion that revives and expands this historic video game. The series has an episodic structure, so that each developer can contribute with his own story to the Maniac Mansion universe.

Maniac Apartment is the second "international" Maniac Mansion Mania episode, after 'Britney's Escape'. This episode, in fact, was born as a "stand-alone" fangame too before becoming part of the MMM series.

Fun facts hat geschrieben:'Maniac Apartment - Hoagie's Cousin' originally was born as a stand-alone fangame, outside the German community, under the name of Maniac Apartment.
Some time ago the MIWF (Italy) released a revised version of it, including a few fixes.
Today, thanks to the collaboration between the author (Slovenia), the MIWF (Italy) and the MMM forum (Germany) the game can be included in the Maniac Mansion Mania continuity.

In this game:
  • - two characters, Reuben and his sister Candy, are introduced in the MMM series; both of them are Hoagie's cousins!
    - Reuben and Candy are in Day of the Tentacle style graphics!
... in addition, there are a couple of easter eggs (one of them really difficult to find)!
Notes hat geschrieben:To play the game in fullscreen mode try one of following in Winsetup:
  • - Direct3D 9 Driver, Native game resolution Mode, Max round multiplier Scaling, Nearest-neighbour Filter;[/li]
    - DirectDraw 5 Driver, Native game resolution Mode, Max round multiplier Scaling, Nearest-neighbour Filter;[/li]
    - Desktop resolution Mode, check Dowgrade 32-bit graphics to 16 bit in Advanced tab;[/li]
The game can be downloaded here, while the source can be found here.
Notes - Part II hat geschrieben:With the consent of the author, and thanks to the support of the MMM host, MIWF Italia makes the game source code available and freely usable, so that anyone can make any improvements where deemed necessary.

Any new versions of the episode will be hosted on the MMM forum.

The graphics of characters and locations are also available, to be freely used for future episodes by other authors.

Advices, questions and opinions, for improvements or anything else, should be discussed on MMM forum or MIWF forum, in case additional information are needed.
Have fun, everybody!
