Maniac Mansion Design Doc

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.

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.
