gibbeynator: Heh, nice to see where Disney's priorities lie.
They released 4 games here just last week, so they haven't exactly abandoned us...

I'm confident this will show up here sooner rather than later. Unless gog curators have irrevocably gone full retard.

I'm sure we'll see it in a year or two.

Extract the big "tenta.cle" file from the remastered version.

It's the folder named "Maniac."

SCUMMVM list it as DOS_V2.

Rixasha: Not remastered in recent years, but it's still the later version of Maniac Mansion with considerably improved graphics compared to the earlier one that shipped with the original Day of the Tentacle.

For both of these versions, it's possible to rip them out and play them standalone in ScummVM.
offtopic: Do you happen to know if it's the same (and easily doable) with the classic Full Throttle from the remastered edition?

Sorry but I do not know this. I know that there is a tool that can dig around in its files and it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to find the original data in there.

I'll find out eventually but it's currently way too expensive considering I already have the original game and am not that wild about remasters as such.

It is indeed, using the same tool.

Little before my time, adventure game wise, but if it came to GOG I'd get it to support more Lucasarts releases.

supplementscene: Do they own the rights to the Curse/Escape Monkey Island games?
Yes. Since buying Lucas Disney owns Monkey Island.

first P&C I ever played. I got it, I think, the week it came out.

Same here, I really dislike those (Double Fine) remasters as they introduced bugs that were never there to begin with. Also, the new graphics in some places are really amateurish and it shows.

Full Throttle was pretty much a perfect game back in the day, but now not anymore. /rant

Thanks. Good to know.
