Maniac Mansion reviews

Translated by
Microsoft from Russian
This game was created not in the prehistoric game period and not even in the ancient world, but it is the beginning of the "Renaissance" History of computer games. The Game's sofa historians are dedicated to... Why is it a story? There are no zero chances that you in relation to this game are free from the syndrome of the duckling. That is, missed her by their game radar, which is not surprising, as almost 40% of the population of the RUSSIAN Federation is younger than this game. 30 years is a term. In this case, the "Mansion of the Maniac" in itself is valuable literally coming out on its surface of the game ideas, which were developed in the modern Igrostroe or were sacrificed to Kazhualam, such as: a lot of completely useless interactive Objects, the death of the protagonist does not lead to the mandatory end of the game, binding game events to astronomical time and hamster in the microwave.

For his own time, the creation of Ron Hilbert was revolutionary, and the game engine SKUMM [ru.wikipedia.org] (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) used ten (sic!) years. All these Lua [ru.wikipedia.org] and modern quest mechanics have originated more here than anywhere else. GNU/Linux uses a free implementation of the SCUMM engine To run the game, namely ScummVM [www.scummvm.org], which is distributed under the GNU GPLv2 or later license. Several hundred amateurs have invested In the development of this instrument. During the "Passage for Bernard" game no claims to work in the Ubuntu 16.04 environment on a laptop with a video card Intel did not arise. A Couple of times the resolution was violated when the Save dialog was invoked, but it was quickly restored. The Review is included in the list of Games, Linux, Steam, reviews.
