Maniac Mansion was my first point and click adventure game. It was in elementary school. Don't know if there was a German translation, but I had the English version. So it was like looking at pictures and "muddling" through the game. Of course, the texts in the game including gags not understood, but still immediately thrilled by the nature of the game.
Thanks for the info. So it was so well done that the language barrier was no problem. It's certainly ne retro graphics, but I don't care about that. There is a remake though. And of the other two also sequels. Then I'm busy for the time being. I bought "The longest Journey" last year, but it was too boring for me because of the overwhelming dialogues.

The game uses jump scares as basics and convinces with atmosphere. The game is never boring.

Well, that was of course in the middle/end of the 80s. Of course the graphic standards were different and we were used to play most games "in English". Of course, there were many arcade games or jump'n runs where the language didn't matter. But "Maniac Mansion" was fascinating.
I don't know the remake. I think I had the sequel of "Zak Mccracken" a few years ago. But that was nothing, as far as I remember.

Phew, it looks too scary for me... 🤣
I used to love horror games, dead space 1 was one of my favorites for a long time.
Now it's too stressful for me.
I will get resident evil 4 remake as soon as it is cheaper, also been one of my favorite games.
Otherwise I have among other things .these series gladly played always or play them still:
Assassins creed
Hitman
Splintercell
Resident evil
Dead space
Cod
God of war
Gears of war
As a special pearl I noticed the other day days gone, that I had not paid much attention due to bad ratings at release.
But mega game I think!

Great interview. Boris Schneider actually translated almost all Lucas games single-handedly. Must have been a lot of work. You can only do that if you put your heart and soul into it. I read somewhere in the comments on Steam that someone had to pay 120 DM for Maniac Mansion. I can hardly imagine that. However, there were probably not games like sand on the beach and Maniac Mansion was also completely new, virtually a milestone in the adventure sector. On Steam it is now offered for about 5 euros. Well, I think I'll start with it.
Well then have fun, feel free to give feedback. Games were actually earlier ne amount, of course without the mega-hype, as when nowadays a new GTA appears or so. And the best thing, all free... Someone had this or that game, then was copied among themselves and passed on. I guess, if at all, I spent a total of 120 DM for blank disks.😉 Actually curious, everything without Internet and in retrospect I wonder how the software companies have survived.

Sure, give then gladly a feedback.
At that time there were probably no walkthroughs that could be googled on the internet and people still had to make up their minds. Or buy game magazines and hope that there was a Tip for their game.
All in all, it sounds like a good time, when people could exchange ideas and copy wildly.

Ohja just with WOW at the beginning you can see it quite well there was almost no help and you had to read the quest's then understand and find the right place first
Today, everything is thrown at you and you run bluntly from A to B to meet opponents who are simply easy
Are there still people here who have always bought the Computer Bild games for the funny games and demos always ?

The magazine I used to like was Bravo Screenfun. I always bought it when I was a little smaller and then it started with Pokémon, Playstation 1, Nintendo 64, etc. or the magazines with demo CDs. It was nice

By the way, in connection with translations, there is a very interesting interview with Boris Schneider...

You can watch the lets play of Gronkh. Even while watching it's fun and creepy, but play yourself is just even better.
