Maniac Mansion
“The Commodore 64 is quite possibly the
greatest computer ever built and Maniac Mansion
would not exist without it. Its combination of
simplicity, sophistication and limitations provided
the perfect storm of creative and technical
innovation that allowed Maniac Mansion to go
on to define the point-and-click genre. It was
a joy and wonder to program and will forever
remain my favourite computer.”
