Name:  Maniac Mansion


 BE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR PROGRAM DISK BEFORE STARTING AND USE THE
 BACK UP FOR THE UNPROTECT.
 Modify only the backup copy!!!

 First you should rename the file or files
 MANIAC.EXE TO MANIAC.XXX


 Ex. C>rename maniac.exe maniac.xxx

 Next Load program into debug...

 Ex. C>debug maniac.xxx

 Then Follow the sample debug session:

     -e 8ede e8 5f cf 90 90
     -e 5e40 c6 06 3c 1e ff
             c6 06 52 eb 00 c6 06 54 eb 00
             c6 06 56 eb 00 c6 06 58 eb 00
             c3 90 90 90 90 90 90

 Now write the new maniac game back to the disk:

     -w  <Enter>

     Writing XXXX bytes

 Then Quit Debug:

     -q  <Enter>

 Now it is time to rename maniac.xxx back to maniac.exe

     C>ren maniac.xxx maniac.exe

 Now try to run the new (Hopefully) unprotected version of Maniac Mansion

     C>maniac

 When you are asked for your entry code enter the first block 4 times.

Here it is:        The solution to Maniac Mansion
                   Typed by ==> Shadow Dragon <==

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   First of all choose the kids: Bernard and Razor to go with Dave. I
choose these kids even though you can win with any combination. After
choosing them, take Dave to the front of the mansion and have him open
the bushes on the left of the stairs to the porch. Then go up to the mat
and pull it to get the key that unlocks the front door. After getting
inside, go right and open the door leading to the room with chandelier.
Go into the room and change kids to Bernard. Have Bernard go to the room
where Dave is, and open the radio there. Take the radio tube. Change to
Razor and go to where Bernard is. Keep going right and open the door at
the far end of the room and walk in. Use "what is" and find a lamp and
turn it on. Go to the right end of the room near the chair and find the
loos… pane‹ o� th… wallÞ Ope� i’ an„ ge’ th… cassett… tapeÞ

   Now change to Bernard and have him go left out of the room and up the
stairs. Take another left and enter the painting room. Get everything
there and change to Razor. Have Razor go left to the stairs in the
entry room with the clock. Go upstairs and left to the music room. Turn
on the television and afterwards change to Bernard. Go back downstairs
and push the right gargoyle. Change to Dave and go through the door
Bernard is holding open. Use "what is" to find the lightswitch and turn
it on. Get the silver key at the left of the room and go back up. Have
Bernard go into the kitchen which is through the door to the left of the
stairs on the forward wall. Get the flashlight and go back to the room
with the chandelier. Save the game before having Dave go into the
kitchen.

   Go to the refrigerator in the kitchen and if Nurse Edna is not there
get everything in it. If she is there, restore the game and wait awhile
for her to leave. You can also pick up the chainsaw if you want. Then go
through the door to the right and pick up the rotting chicken and week
old roast. Go right and through the door. Pick up everything on the
shelves. Unlock the screen door with the silver key and open it. Go
through the door and pick up some pool water.Go back the way you came and
wait in the dining room until Weird Ed leaves the kitchen. Now go upstairs
to the steel security door and use the codes that come with the game. Go
through the first door to the right. Turn on the desk lamp after finding
it with "where is." Open the desk and get the manuscript. Read it and then
read the chalkboard. There really isn't anything else much of interest
there. Leave and go right and up the stairs. Give all your food to the
tentacle and then fruit drinks. You can leave Dave in the photography room
to the left for a while.

    Now have Razor go through the security door past the room where Dave
is and up the stairs. Go through the first door you find which is Fred's
bedroom. Go left and up the stairs to the Green Tentacle's room and get
the record. Have Razor go back down to the music room. Now get Bernard
through the security door to Doctor Fred's bedroom. Pick up the dime by
his bed and put the radio tube in the tube compartment. Read the wanted
sign. Whenever you hear the doorbell, have Razor who is closest go outside
and get the package. Open the package to get stamps. Stay away from the
front door so Weird Ed wont see you when answering the door. When the
ºcoast is clear, have Bernard go to the fourth room where the weight
machine is. Use it and read the calendar. See the sarcophagus is for the
dead cousin. Have Bernard wait there while Razor, who is outside, rings
the doorbell. Be sure to get Razor away from the door again. After Weird
Ed is out of his room, go in the door to the left of the room you were
just in, get the hamster, get the keycard, and get the piggy bank. The
piggy bank will break and you can get the dimes. Leave quickly to the
weights room. This time let Weird Ed see Razor at the front door after
you have her ring the doorbell. Give the package to Weird Ed and he will
take you to his room. Leave his room after he talks to you and go back to
the music room. Record the record from the Green Tentacle's Room and play
it in the chandelier room. Get the rusty key. It unlocks the basement
door to the dungeon. Go back to the music room and record you playing the
piano. Play the tape over again in the Green Tentacle's room. While there
get the yellow key hanging on the right wall. Be sure to give Bernard the
rusty and yellow key while he is upstairs near you.

   Have muscle man Bernard lift the grate outside in the front yard and
then the garage door near the pool. Use the yellow key to unlock the
trunk and get the tools. Also get the water faucet handle in the garage.
Go to the pool ladder and change to Razor. Have her go downstairs to the
grat… an„ ente� itÞÐGŽ tŽ th… wate� valv… an„ tur� i’ onÞ Chang… to
Bernard and climb the ladder. Get the radio and glowing key. Go up to the
surface and change to Razor to turn off water valve. Then have Razor go
tŽ th… librar› an„ hav… Bernar„ followÞÐBernard should fiœ th… phon… wit•
th… toolsÞ The� gŽ bacŠ tŽ th… weigh’ machin… rooŒ an„ gŽ throug• th… doo�
tŽ th… right. Open the curtains, fix the water faucet for the shower with
the water faucet handle, turn on the shower, and turn it off. Remember the
number shown. Get Bernard in front of Nurse Edna's room which is to the
left of Weird Ed's room. Have Razor call the number from the bathroom. Get
Bernard in Nurse Edna's room, get the small key, and climb the ladder.
Find the light and turn it on. Open the picture. Have Razor call Edna
again so Bernard can go back down and leave Edna's room. Get Bernard to go
through the door to the far right with the man-eating plant. Use the paint
remover on the paint blotch and change to Dave. Have Dave go to the man-
eating plant room and give pool water to it. Then give it Pepsi. Have
Bernard go up the man-eating plant and put 2 dimes in the coin slot. Each
time you put in a dime press the right button. Then use the telescope.
Now you can see the number to the safe.

   Go through Edna's room the same way you did before with the phone.
Climb the ladder and open the safe. Take the envelope and leave. Remember
to call Edna again so Bernard can escape. Take the glass from Dave. Go to
Razor and give the glass and envelope to her. Have Razor heat the envelope
and glass of water from faucet in the microwave. (Razor can also use the
hamster in the microwave. Hee.. Hee..)  Open the envelope and get the
quarter and give it to Bernard. Put the demo tape from the Green Tentacle
in the envelope and put the stamp on the envelope. Use the typewriter
in the man-eating plant room to type the adress on the envelope. Place
it in the mail. Have Bernard go to the man-eating plant room and Razor
and Dave downstairs to the gargoyle. Have Razor push the gargoyle and
have Dave go to the circutbreakers in the basement. Go back to Bernard
and have him go through the door where the paint bloch was. Open the radio
and put the batteries in the flashlight. Turn on the light there and walk
to the broken wires. Have Dave turn off the power. Turn on the flashlight
ºand fix the wires with tools. Have Dave turn the power back on. You
should then direct Bernard to the arcade which is the door to the right
of the room where the manuscript was found. Go to Meteor Mash game or
whatever it's called. Use the quarter and write down the highscore.
UnlocŠ th… coinboœ wit• smal‹ ke› an„ ge’ th… quarterÞ Wheneve� th…
contract arrives for the Green Tentacle's music, give it to the Green
Tentacle and he will help you later.  Now it's time for the final
confrontation!

   There's two ways to end the game from here. Have Dave go to the
basement with the glowing key, cardkey, yellow key, and rusty key. Use
the rusty key to open the door on the left. Unlock the padlocks with the
glowing key. Use the highscore for the code to the inner door.
Now you can either:

     Have someone call the Meteor Police with the radio in Dr. Fred's
   room. The number is on the wanted poster also in that room. After the
   police take away the meteor, have Dave go in the lab and to the right
   through the door. Go to the closet and get the radiation suit. Use the
   cardkey to open the door on the right. Pull the switch in the next
   room and you solve the game.

     Have Razor go into the lab first and the Green Tentacle will protect
   her from the Purple Tentacle. Leave the lab and have Dave enter. Go
   right and through the door. If you have a quarter, you can get an
   ice cold pepsi from the machine. I'm not sure what you use it for
   though. Anyway, get the radiation suit and go through the door just
   like above. Turn off the power as I described above and grab the
   meteor. Take it to the right and you will be in the garage. Put the
   meteor in the trunk and use the yellow key to turn on the car. You
   will win the game.
