Even more crap from my Seattle storage unit! Here is the original pitch document Gary and I used for Maniac Mansion. Gary had done some quick concepts, but we didn't have a real design, screen shots or any code. This was before I realized coding the whole game in 6502 was nuts and began working on the SCUMM system. There was no official pitch process or "green lighting" at Lucasfilm Games.

While cleaning out my storage unit in Seattle, I came across a treasure trove of original documents and backup disks from the early days of Lucasfilm Games and Humongous Entertainment. I hadn't been to the unit in over 10 years and had no idea what was waiting for me. Here is the first batch. get ready for a week of retro. Grumpy Gamer style. First up.

An email sent to me from LucasArts Marketing/Support letting me know they "finally" found some people who liked the ending to Monkey Island 2.

Time flies. The gaming and internet institution known as the Grumpy Gamer Blog has been around for just over ten years. My first story was posted in May of 2004. Two thousand and four. I'll let that date sink in. Ten years. The old Grumpy Gamer website was feeling "long in the tooth" and it was starting to bug me that Grumpy Gamer was still using a CRT monitor.
