Pretty fun but short game.
I compare this game to other games of the time that I recently played like Space Quest. A good comparison would be Space Quest III since that game and the Enhanced Edition of Maniac Mansion came out at the same time. MM has an arguably better interface and graphics, but SQIII has a really good soundtrack that is completely missing from MM. This game is also more cryptic than SQIII. It has better replayability, but only a little. Only 4 of the kids really have a way to beat the game. Once you play through the game once, you'll breeze through it again for the second or maybe third time. I personally felt that the humor wasn't as good in this game compared to the SQ games, but that's just a personal thing. It was ok, but a bit dry. It's worth playing, but it's a product of its time for sure. The lack of any discernible soundtrack for the supposedly Enhanced Edition really hurts this game when other games that came out at the same time had good soundtracks. I never played this game, so nostalgia isn't really something that affected my decision here. I can't understand why anyone would want to play the 1987 version. Both the graphics and sound are worse than the Enhanced Edition and the sound wasn't really anything to write home about in that version either. I played this on Linux and the built-in version of ScummVM that came with this didn't play well with KDE. Using ScummVM from the Ubuntu repos worked perfectly though.
