That Game (cliched thread I'm sure)

time to put on my 'wank hat' as they would say in Consolevania

Maniac Mansion: got it for my birthday years ago, and where every other game I had involved platforming or other cartoony adventures, this was a shock to the system as it was in a pseudo-realistic enviroment (even if it was still cartoony), you could ring the doorbell, then run away, and the person inside would be annoyed by the pranksters, you could explore the house, nicking stuff, running from weirdos and trying to get into the secret lab. At the time I tried to blow up the house, and thought if I ran out to the driveway then I wouldn't get killed too, misunderstanding the power of an atomic explosion.

then year later, thanks to gamefaqs, that there was more than one way to finish the game, and all the loose ends or objects or rooms I thought were useless got wrapped up neatly.
