Play Maniac Mansion (Italy) Online

Game Overview

Maniac Mansion is this weird, hilarious point-and-click adventure from the late '80s where you control a bunch of teenagers trying to rescue their friend from a mad scientist's creepy mansion. I remember playing it on the NES as a kid and being totally baffled at first—you pick three characters from a group of seven, each with their own weird skills (like the punk kid who can fix radios or the nerdy guy who hacks computers).

The whole place is packed with bizarre puzzles and even weirder characters—like a sentient meteor, a talking tentacle, and Dr. Fred's deranged family. Half the fun is just poking around to see what ridiculous thing happens next. Some solutions make no sense (why does microwaving a hamster work?), but that’s part of the charm. Just don’t get caught by Nurse Edna—she’ll toss you in the basement.

It’s clunky by today’s standards, but there’s nothing else quite like it. The NES version cuts some content but still keeps the weirdness intact.
