Great game, but incomplete distribution
Maniac Mansion is a milestone of adventure game history. Its puzzles, comical characters and black-humorous story make the game be worth playing, although it passes 31 years from initial release. This GOG.com distribution includes both of two PC releases; the original version with 160x200 graphics and the enhanced version with 320x200 graphics. The original version has no problem --it is non-protection release. But the enhanced version is manual-protection release and the distribution does not include a document "Nuke'm Alarms Owner's Disarmament Quick Reference Guide" for solving the manual protection (security door at second floor). By default, the distribution launches the game on SCUMMVM, that disables the manual protection; the security door has already opened. But it disables not only the security door but also any other passcode-based locks. I think GOG.com should add the Nuke'm Alarms Quick Reference Guide to the distribution and change and enable us changing launcher into DOSBOX.
